Devilishly cute!

We're back today for day two of the All That Scraps August release previews and today we are showing you all things spooky - that's right, we're getting ready for Halloween!  And here is my make...

She's not very scarey, is she?!  But she is incredibly sweet!  This is Devilish Lucy and I used a sentiment from the Halloween Sentiments - the perfect match!  I also stamped the C.C. Designs Woodgrain Rubber Stamp on the C.C. Designs Cutter Fence Border Die.  You can see more spookiness on the blog here - and while you're there don't forget to add your name to the linky for a chance to win a prize!

Shadow box beauty!

Hello everyone!  I'm here today to show you my Quixotic Inspirations DT project using those gorgeous Quixotic Paperie goodies.  Those who know me, know that I like to make cards - sometimes venturing to a tag! - but today I have something very different to share...what do you think...

I am really pleased with how my shadow box turned out!  I used the new Make It Crafty Shadow Box in the square frame - it was so easy to put together using a quick drying strong glue.  I coloured in the gorgeous Make It Crafty Adele again but this time with brown hair and matched her up with papers from My Minds Eye Indie Chic Ginger papers.  For the embellishing I used the new SCACD dies Classic Corners and Nature's Tapestry Fan.  For the lettering, I die cut these using Tim Holtz Grunge papers and simply inked them up.


I hope you have enjoyed my project - I certainly had a lot of fun creating it!  See you soon with another crafty make!

I'm here today with my Monday guest designer post for Pixie Dust Studios.  This week I have created this card using the panda from the Asian Collection...

The prettiest panda every, I'm sure you'll agree!  I love this collection and you get four images at a discounted price or you can save even more and get the Compass Collection that includes the Asian Collection!

I used a Papertrey Ink Quatrefoil cover plate die and the new C.C. Designs Cutter Olive Branch Die
with dies from the C.C. Designs Cutter 8 Petals & Branch Die set.  The papers are from the My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Saffron pad.

Did you know that the lovely Elaine, owner of Quixotic Paperie is now stocking My Favorite Things Die-namics?  I luuuuurve my MFT goodies so in celebration, I made this summery card (inspired by the sun we've had this week in the UK!)...

I used the beautiful Simply Betty Water Fun Rio with papers from the Echo Park - Splash Collection Kit.  The sentiment is from the Whimsy Party Mini Letter Seals set which I stamped on the MFT Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags STAX.  Other MFT goodies I used were the Flat Bottom Clouds die, Notched Border die and the Wonky Scallop Border die.

Please don't ask which is my most fave of the MFT dies - they are all so fab!  You can see the rest of the new MFT Die-namics here - but you'd better hurry cos I've already put most of them in my shopping basket!
