Ruby's Rainbow #23 White and one other colour

Its challenge time again at Ruby's Rainbow

This fortnight we are asking you to use White and one other colour.

I chose silver for my other colour - I used my cuttlebug with various embossing folders and silver peel offs, silver marker pen for the edges and silver card punched hearts.

Ruby's Rainbow - Vintage

Its time for challenge number 22 over at Ruby's Rainbow

I have used my wood burny tool again - thats the technical term again!!!!

I used balsa wood and stamped my T!m Holtz car and sentiments onto it and then burned them. I aged the wall hanging slightly with some distressed ink in brushed corduroy.

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - February - Something With Wings

Its my very first DT piece for Sparkles Montly Challenges and this month we are sponsored by



Here's my piece for this months challenge - I have created a little bird house the inspiration for which came from Craft Stamper magazine.

I used mountboard for the bird house and ran papers through the cuttlebug using different embossing folders. I added the little bird and then flowers and finished off with the little saying.

Rubys Rainbow - Challenge 21

Its challenge 21 over at Ruby's Rainbow - this time we are asking for you to show us your flowers with some sparkle too!


I found a photoframe in a pound shop - it started out as a black and silver frame!
I made the background to look like a patchwork and used the same papers to make some roses. Lots of sparkle and hat pins finished them off.




I found a lovely poem and added that to the centre.

Its going to be a pressie for my mum and dads golden wedding - its next year so I need to put this away carefully till then.
