C.R.A.F.T Challenge #1


I like this one! This is my entry for the first C.R.A.F.T Challenge I stamped the baby shoes onto white card cut from a frame diei then watercoloured the image with pencils. The papers are lush they are by paper adventures, i added white satin ribbon and two teeny weeny buttons to finish it off, i adore making baby cards, they would be my favourites along side wedding cards, Hope you like it, Tash xxx

Double challenge entry


This next one is my entry for this wks Spoonfull of Sugar and Whiff of joy challenges. I used this gorgeous image, it's been watercoloured. The papers are DCWV Floral stack and K&co, some white lace, flowers, brad and gems. I like the colours but tbh i'm not mad on the card, it doesn't sit well with me, don't ask me why because i don't know lol, but us crafters are a fickle lot after all. Hugs, Tash xxx

A Celtic Wedding


Hellooo everyone! Hope you've all had a good day, it's absolutly peeing it down here but with lovely sunshine! So loads of gorgeous rainbows, i Love rainbows!! Does that make me sad? Oh hell i don't care! I love the colours and they never fail to make me smile. So i'm officially sad lmao.

I've been a busy bee made 2 cards the first is an order i had for a wedding card, the invitations were celtic themed so i thought it would be nice to follow that. It's just an image i had saved so i printed it out, a wee bit of layering, border punch and ribbon and it's done, i love the look of it not too fussy but with a touch of class.

Ok quess what i made a card.....................seriously lol don't know what possessed me, only kidding it would be a very odd blog if i didn't make any!

This is for Spoonfull of sugar challenge, cutting it fine i know! I've used the ever faithfull Forever friends stamp, K&co papers which adore, they really know how to make papers! I've used some gold satin ribbon threaded through a slider and Rubbadubbadoo sentiments. I'm happy-ish with it lol. What do you guys think?, Hugs, Tash xxx
Evening everyone,hope your all keeping well! OMG it's been one of those days!I haven't stopped lol. I've 8 orders four of which are Bookatrix's so i'll be kept busy thats for sure lol. I do have something i want to get off my chest. The other day when i handed out awards i really was really pleased with myself! Thing is a couple of them haven't even been accepted, not even acknowleged tbph. I know to hardened bloggers they are probably boring but to a newbie they are exciting, to not even acknowledge you have been given one is really disheartening. I'm feeling a little dejected, it kind of makes me feel as if i'm not good enough to be handing them out. I was talking to a friend last night and they even mentioned it, that got me thinking "ok it's not just me then" Maybe my work isn't up to some people's standards, maybe i'm not as successfull as some, maybe my cards aren't drop dead gorgeous, maybe i'm not in with the same clique but i never imagined that would be a problem, i had assumed we were all here for the same thing? To learn, Grow and not least support and encourage each other. I've been making cards for a long time and i'm quite successfull at it i earn money doing it, enjoy making them and most of all put a smile on my customers faces making cards and keepsakes makes me happy to know that it will be cherished for life. Maybe i'm bieng a bit too sensitive about it, it certainly wouldn't be the first time i've got the wrong end of the stick. It just would have been nice for a thanks for thinking of me, i don't expect anyone to put the award on their blog, not everyone's taste is the same but to completly ignore the fact you were given one and not mention it at all is a little unfair it means so much to most. So here's my promise i will NEVER ignore an award, NEVER ignore a comment, NEVER ignore a request, thats a promise. anyway off my soap box now and back to my normal chirpy self, Tash xxxx

Papertake weekly sketch 15


This next card is for the Papertake Weekly challenge, another sketch i enjoyed but maybe it's just that i'm easy to please...don't think DH would agree :) I used this really cute Anya image that a friend sent me, yeah it's watercoloured lol. Some more digi papers, swiss dots embossed card, 2 blooms, brad and a star charm., Hugs, Tash xxx

Hi everyone, well today hasn't been too bad, apart from waking up with a splitting headache again of course, thats the 5th day running now, ah well. I've certainly got my Mojo on today though, i'm sitting card making all day and really enjoying it! I've got tons of ideas whirling around in my head so may as well put them to good use. My first upload of the day is for the Sketch and Stash challenge, i found it a nice simple one to do. Which i suppose is why i enjoyed it so much, My daughters already claimed it for a friend! I used House Mouse Cheesecake image watercoloured as always, the papers are digital ones i printed and i love them! The colours are gorgeous very vibrant! Tied it off with some ribbon and Viola! I'm happy with it! Hope you guys like it too, Tash xxx
