Hi again,
Well, tonight I am here to share with you a couple more day's worth of Linda's craftiness that I entered in the challenge.
Day 3 Velvet
On day three, my challenge was to include velvet. I had stamped this stamp from a friend onto some paper a few weeks ago and have been looking at it for aaaaages wanting to use it somewhere. when I saw the theme for the day was velvet, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
The stamp is from Kazsazz but unfortunately not available anymore. Once I had stamped it onto white card, I coloured it using my water colour pencils. Then used a wet brush to blend it nicely. I used to distress markers to highlight certain parts of the image.
Then I added yellow velvet ribbon and some gorgeous Prima (I think) velvet flowers, foam dotted it onto green card, added the greeting and a couple pearly dots and there you have it!!!!
Day 4 Family
When I saw the theme of family, I immediately thought of my best friend's little boy - who is my godson. I simply adore him and his two brothers and sister. As his birthday is coming up in June I thought it was a great idea to get ahead and make his card so I didn't have to rush.
I already had the image cut out (leftover from a scarp layout) and just knew he wud love seeing himself on a card.
I had won - back in Jan/Feb, a gorgeous Kaiser 'Fine and Sunny' pack which I hadn't used yet and so I pulled it out and basically used some of the things included. I cut out the sticker banner and placed them onto car, then glossy accented them - to give them some dimension. I like how I added one to the stick Si is holding.
Well, it's getting late and I must be to bed! Hope ur enjoying what I have to share.
See ya

Hi there friends old and new.
My name is Linda and I made this blog so that I can share with you some of my creativeness. I love scrapbooking and I seem to do a fair amount of it so I thought I would use a blog to share with you as I make new creations. I really hope you enjoy this.
Just bare with me as I try to work out how to set it all up. Still have no idea how to insert photos. Lol.
Ok, so the first few things I really want to share with you are a 30 Day craft challenge that I am doing through Paper heart Design. Each day for 30 days we get a new theme. So far we are up to Day 6!
See what I've been doing so far.....
Day 2 Recycle
On day 2 I was thing about all the different things I could use on this project. I thought of using things around the house, things that are leftover scraps... and much more. What I finally made was a cute little gift tag.
What was recycled? Almost all of it....
I recycled (actually it was unused, just came outa the packet) a Libra pad wrapping which I glued to some card that I had already cut.
Then I coloured in a gorgeous mini Tilda using water colour pencils.
The light pink stripes at the top were off of some foam dot wrapping.
The brown/green ruffle is a die cut flower that ripped quite badly.
The dusty pink quilled roses are made from a McDonald's paper bag - awesome to use as it was so soft and pliable.
The leaves are leaves I had previously made. All they needed was the veins added which I did using an ink from Ingrid what-her-name, lol.
It was a fun and simple gift tag - -and a little unusual. I would never normally use something so bright as the wrapper but I like the finished product.
Day 1 Flourish!
For Day 1 I created a little flourish gift tag. I used a Kaszazz flourish stamp (which Im in love with), stamped it onto burgundy cardstock and cut around it. I then found some partially made flowers and finished them off and glued them to the top of the card. Then i found in my stash, some green leafy flourish that had been previously cut using a die and added it. Some bling and a ribbn to finish off and whalaaaa!
Pretty as a picture gift tag!
Ok, as it is now incredibly late (1.30am) and i can feel my medication kicking in, Ill leave the rest until tomorrow to share with you again.
Hope u enjoyed my first two project I shared.
Catch ya
