Chipboard Wall Hanger

I love chipboard die cuts, they make the perfect embellishments for so many projects, I recently purchased, these Crate Paper die cuts ..

Crate Paper - Story Teller

My inspiration for this wall hanging, came from the girl holding the bag (above) I love the contrasting navy blue and red colours together .

  

I also had a play with Versa mark, Clear embossing powder and glitter. To make the tiny stars above the alphabet washi tape... didn't come out as I planned but its looks kinda cute anyway ..

i finished this little project last Friday evening, it took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete.

it now hangs on my wall in my craft room, i think that these would make the perfect little gift ..

Loving how this wall is coming together :)

I winner of this giveaway is .........

Midweek ....

Just thought i would pop in and say a quick "hello" :)

As i wait for my much needed (strong ) morning cup of tea to cool down, children's programs play in the back ground and my baby girl is sat/layed colouring .... a typical morning for us..

I thought I would share a quick photo, some Midweek Inspiration.

Source 

There is something about hot air balloons that i find so inspiring. Maybe its the colours or the feeling of being free..

Or the dream that one day I may get to go on  hot air balloon ride, whatever the reason i find them fascinating..

I have seen a few stamps, paper and embellishments with the balloons too, I think they would make a great mixed media project, layout or canvas .....

I have a few errands to run today and a holiday mini album to complete !!! I am half way through and looking forward to taking some pictures to share with you ..

Oh and a little nose that needs to be wiped :)

What's inspiring you lately ???

p.s. don't forget to enter the little mini kit give-away i have going on at the moment

Mixed Media Tag

Sometimes I wish I had more time to create, 4 girls and a house to look after certainly takes up a lot of my time, leaving very little time to create, especially in daylight hours ;)

Which got me thinking of "quicker" projects that I could create that are equally as rewarding.. One of the ideas i thought of was Mdf tags ( I made this one for the Kiwi Lane Guest Post ) .

I made this one, during nap time (which doesn't happen as much any more) .

I kinda like that there is a limited amount of space to work with, but the possibilities are endless..

You all know by now how much i love layering, in this case the layers are more subtle, paper, gesso, paint, stamping and then embellishments.

I love that the lace just adds a touch of "shabby chic" feel ..

So, what projects to you make when time is limited ???

Don't forget i am having a mini kit giveaway here ......

Happy Crafting, Claire x 

September Blog Hop ~ Kiwi Lane Designs

I am really excited to be part of the September Blog hop, hosted by Kiwi Lane Designs !!!

I was sent these awesome templates to work with ..

Source 

These templates are called brackets and there are 4 in a pack and come with a ring, which makes them great for storing..

This is my first time using templates and at first i was a little unsure of how i would use them in my projects, but once i started using them on my paper the ideas started coming..

A couple of things i like about Kiwi Lane templates, firstly the shapes are detailed enough, without being too detailed that makes cutting out impossible, secondly the templates are see through, so if you would like to "fussy cut" you can easy do that and lastly they are great for layering!!

I made 2 projects with the Bracket templates, here they are ...

I love to layer, and working with the templates makes achieving that look so easy, i think they look great together.

For this tag, I stuck with the idea of layering the templates to make some fun accents, by fussy cutting my paper. 

I will definatley be using the templates on my future projects..

Here is the line up for the Blog Hop!!!
