I fancied a change from card making so I got out my K&Co pad of die cut purses, here's what I came up with.....

I tore my paper flowers from scraps of paper! Simple yet affective! I love this technique. The image - of course is one of our top sellers 'Dreamer' she's one of the Charmed Pixie Chick downloads.

DW Challenge

Hello Folks,
I have harldly done any crafting this week and what I DID do (this card) was fairly rushed do I'm sorry about that. The DW challenge was set by our lovely Adele, here's what she said.....
PASTELS or BRIGHTS!
Make a card or project using a Charmed Download keeping to either VERY pale pastel colours or VERY bright, bold colours. Now if of course you want to make two creations, one of each, that would be fantastic. Perhaps try two versions of the same image.


I went for brights....

It's a blast from the past, this week :)) Super Hero George from the Back 2 Front colection..look at the rear view!



So, fancy joining in? Pop over to Dotties World for some amazing inspiration.

Woo hoo!

My turn again to set the challenge at Dottie's World.....I want folks to make something tiny - pop over to Dottie's World to find out more.

I enjoyed this one, It's so much fun working on a small scale and you also get quick results! That suits me fine. It's also a great way to use up your scraps.

This challenge perfectly demonstrates the versatility of digital downloads, you can have them teenie weenie or big and bold...what more could you ask for. Here's what i came up with....

You can see the scale of this from the £2 coin next to it. what fun!!!! I could get hooked on these.

Dottie's World Challenge

This one was such fun! This week Adele wants us to use acetate with our Charmed Download -pop to Dottie's World for more details.

I think Acetate should be utilised so much more than it is on greetings cards because the results are faberoonie! Here's what I came up with ......

I liked how the acetate enabled me to get the legs dangling without them hanging loose.
