Strength and Hope wall hanging

It's my last week as a Visiting Artist over at Gingersnap Creations it's been fun :-) This week it's Once in a Blue Moon-months with a fifth wednesday- we get an Extra Challenge- Yay!

The challenge is 3 Words, 3 Paper, 3 Buttons.

I've used this special SU Stamp Set Strength and Hope (a % of profits are going to Breast Cancer Research). I wanted to create something pretty but also inspirational, for those days when the world can seem a bit tricky :-(

I hope you like it. Thanks for visiting during my stay at Gingersnaps, hope to see you again soon x

Bags and Tags

It's inspiration week at Gingersnap Creations and it's all about Bags and Tags.
I wanted to create a flower market, vintage kind of feel for my bag, and I'm happy with how it's turned out. I've added some old broken jewelery again. Come over and join us and see what the other DT members have created.

GC106 Supply Challenge

This weeks challenge at Gingersnap Creations is the Supply Challenge- continuing with Shopping theme- we are challenged to use packing Materials.
Here's what I came up with.
I've used some corrogated cardboard to create a "cover" for this book. I've also used the Big Shot and some dies to create flowers from the foam packing stuff- and a broken piece of jewelery for some bling.

Suspension Card

The school hols and roof dramas have really got in the way of my blogging these last 2 weeks. Here's the cool card that Tia taught in last weeks online class at Crafters Anonymous. It's a suspension card, I've used the Clearly for You set from the new mini and the Sew Suite DSP and Buttons.
