A Gem of a Challenge ...............

Hi all, and happy Saturday to you!  It's time for a new challenge at A Gem of a Challenge and our theme for you this time is 'Add a Butterfly'.  This little cute digi imaged called Ella already had a cute butterfly on it so I thought she would be perfect for this challenge. 

I've added the image to an mdf heart with some paper flowers to finish it off.

As always there is a wonderful prize for the winner so I hope you will come along and join in with our challenge.

Decoupaged Spoons ..............

Hi all, I hope you are having a good week.  I had a go at decoupaging some spoons last week using some napkins.  I do need a bit more practise but I'm quite pleased with how these turned out. 

I'm now looking round the house to see what else I can decoupage!

Thanks for stopping by.

1 Stamp 3 Cards .............

Hi all happy Wednesday to you.  I've 3 cards to share with you today which I made using a gorgeous new stamp that I got off my friend Marianne for Christmas. I couldn't wait to use this stamp and I was really pleased with how these cards turned out.  I find it so much quicker to make 3 similar cards all at once and it helps build up my stash of cards as I never have one when I need it!  I'm really enjoying making smaller cards at the moment, I do like to change things up a bit sometimes!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Noor Design UK - Anything Goes

Penny Black and More - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy New Year 2017

Hi all and Happy New Year for 2017!

I've been on a bit of a blogging break recently but I want to get back into again as I've had my little blog for over 8 years and I don't want to give it.

 I've not had much time for crafting over Christmas but I did get this kilner jar painted to go in my kitchen:

I hope to get in the craft room tomorrow to make some cards, so hopefully I will have something to share again soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

Project Life Page .........

Hi all, I'm very behind on my project life pages, I think this is one of the last pages I have made so I think I will have a few months missing for this year!  Never mind there is always next year! I do love looking back at these pages as I would never have time to make layouts on all these little everyday things. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Coffee Time! ............

Hi all, I hope you are all well.  I'm still busy doing my college course at the moment which is why my posts are few and far between at the moment!  Four weeks to go, I can't wait to finish and get some more time back!
