Dandelion Wishes
I am delighted and honoured to have been invited as a guest designer at A Vintage Journey.This month Amanda has chosen Watercolour as her theme.Which is of course my favourite colouring medium, it is very versatile and easy to use.Why not give it a try and join their challenge this month.
I created a background with my watercolours and stamped this gorgeous girl blowing a dandelion stamp by Crafty Individuals. I always love to use elements from nature with my projects, so I found some pressed gypsophlia to use for the blowing away dandelion seeds. I am always finding forgotten pressed flowers in between the pages of thick books, where I have pressed them many months or probably even years before!
I wrapped some threads around the base of the card and tucked some more gypsophlia between them.
I finished the card by edging it with black ink, and adhering the picture onto a scalloped edged card.
May all your wishes come true xxx
I would like to share this card with the following challenges.

Alice is in Winterland
Alice has fallen down the Rabbit Hole and has magically found herself in Winterland!
I created the background with watercolours and I used Indigoblu stamps for Alice and the tree.
I squeezed some glossy accents onto the top of the picture and let it drip down to look like icicles and then shook a generous amount of fine white glitter over the top.
I used glass beads at the bottom of the picture for Alice to stand on, I hope she does not get too cold!
Thank you so much for visiting myself and Alice today we are all mad here ; )
Lost Coast Stamps are holding a wonderful Alice in Winterland challenge, and their Design Team have created some lovely pieces! I would love to enter this into their challenge.

What a Surprise!
I discovered today that my little Christmas box (3 inch square) won the Readers Challenge in Papercraft Inspirations! I gave this box to my Mother for Christmas and filled it with lip balms and little chocs.
I made the box some time ago with some beautiful Forest Magic stamps which came with the magazine. I wrote a few words about it here.
My talented friend Sandra's gorgeous card was published too!
Thank you so much for visiting. May you have many happy days in 2017!

December Daily Journal
How are all your Christmas preparations going? I had a bit of a fight with a falling Christmas tree earlier this week!
Every year I try to make a December Daily journal to record all of the Christmas mishaps and preparations.
I created the background with watercolours, I added some Iridescent Medium to them. I cut the beautiful swan from a Christmas card! I used the trees from the Indigoblu Winterland Wood stamp set on the cover, and the deers and trees on the tags which I popped into a pocket on the inside cover.
The inside pocket is made from Kaisercrafts Christmas Wishes range. I used glossy accents on the top edge of the pocket and let It drip down to make icicles and then shook lashings of white glitter over it!
I tied on blue, pink, and white organza ribbons to the tags.
The 8x8 scrapbook is from Hobbycraft.
Thank you so much for visiting, I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well!

Christmas Gift Box
I have a rather large pile of boxes because they maybe useful one day! I have actually used one of those boxes to make a little 3 inch square gift box.
I painted the box pink, and stamped tiny snowflakes on the sides of the lid. The scene on the top was created with watercolours and glitter, and a lovely set of Forest Magic Stamps.
Thank you so much for visiting, I hope to see you again soon!

Back to School Matchbox drawers and Mini Books
Hello, I hope everyone has had a good summer. Its my most favourite time of the year, and it's always sad to see it slip into Autumn. It's now time for children to return to school so this months challenge at Mixed Media Mojo is Back to School with a Twist of Primary Colours.
Now what to put inside the drawers? You could put small sweets or mini gifts such as erasers, pencil toppers etc I decided to make some miniature books. I used my Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland and Classic Pooh stamps, to decorate both sides of the miniature accordian books.
Thank you,so much for stopping by. I hope to see you again soon.
