Morning all, today is a special post for one of the challenges I love to participate in...it's Crafty Creations and the lovely Bernie asked me if I'd like to guest design for February...well you know what the answer was! I was delighted to be asked so it had to be a big 'yes' immediately. Thankyou for inviting me. I hope you all enjoy the inspiration with my first creation for their fab challenge 'black, white and touch of one other'. Mine was pale blue.

 

I made my own carton in black card, used some old d/load black check/gingham paper on all four sides, used 'football bears' LOTV stamp, part of my win, separated off each bear to pop up for all sides, finished with stamp sentiment from 'everday grunge' stamps set, individual footballs using a stamp from See D's, card has the full stamp in its glory, I love these fun bears, balls are decoupaged on the card, image coloured with Promarkers, twisted threads to make twine. Super birthday sentiment LOTV too.

So that's about it for today, many thanks for popping over, hope to see your creations on Crafty Creations, bye!

Happy Monday to all! I hope everyone's had a good weekend and looking forward to another fab week. Onto my creation which is a pretty little gift bag for a little madam..she really wants to grow up quickly, has a fascination with jewellery and beads already and all in all loves 'pink'..a little bit here is enough I think. I made the bag itself out of inexpensive paper, d/load papers from Crafters Companion website, fab LOTV stamp 'pots of love' I chose  as part of my win, coloured with Promarkers, EK Success layering b/fly punch, MS doily lace punch, Spellbinders heart die cut and embossed, sentiment comes with the stamp.  Pearls and ribbon from Meiflower. So I think some lovely bracelets and charms would fit nicely in this. Hope you like it!
