Things with Wings

Been busy with my work - planning fundraising for our charity partner Together for Short Lives 'Love your local hospice' week and then straight into Marie Curie The Great Daffodil Appeal, and tomorrow it will be putting items together for random acts of kindness for Mothers Day and also a hamper for FB giveaway for a local mum. I love my job!!

Needed to craft today as first the Yahoo app wouldn't work (ended up deinstalling it and then reinstalling it) AND then the laptop wouldn't let me on as apparently it had had one to many wrong password attempts and unexpected restarts - it hadn't - and I had to wait 2 hours before trying again. Arrrgghh!!!

(Am back on now and made sure I am fully backed up, just in case!)

Now these were supposed to for the Gecko Galz miniature embellishment challenge over on FB, but as it turns out were neither miniature or featured floral. So Things with Wings it is! 

Loved doing them, the randomness of the embellishments was very therapeutic.

Anything your heart desires

 Gecko Galz (Facebook) challenge - anything goes project - just had to use a heart somewhere on it. I wanted to make my oldest friend a Birthday card so used this as my inspiration - though I ended up forgetting where I put the card, so had to send her a shop bought one!! And yes I found it afterwards, but at least I now have a spare - and the Galz choose my card has the winner of that theme, so I now have a new digital sheet to play with.

Lets eat Cake!

Crafting is sporadic due to health issues, Pernicious Anaemia flare ups have been really bad over the last couple of months, coupled with the fact that a doctor I have never met, or spoke too (dr surgery merged) has decided because as my B12 level is 2000 I am not deficient, never mind its a false high as I get injected with it every eighth week (for 20 years) and it shouldn't even be re tested for that reason. 

Quoted 'NICE' guidelines to the receptionist who duly sent a note to the Dr, Dr now is insisting I am not B12 deficient and never have been.....never mind the fact that she missed my iron and folate levels are actually showing  as deficient as well from the same blood test... off to the doctors I go, armed with 'NICE' guidelines.... my illness, my life.

Anyhoo, back to crafting.

Over on Facebook, Gecko Galz asked for  "invitaion/celebration of afternoon tea or birthday party".

So I went with the traditional 'Let them eat Cake' theme.

Thanks for reading!

Black and White

 Well this happened today.

Created for Gecko Galz Papercrafting Challenge Group over on Facebook. The theme was Black and White with a pop of colour. 

Recipe - Love Potion Craft Kit

Paper sheet number 4, turned black then copied and placed to so the music fills the right hand side.

Paper sheet number 2 turned black, cropped, edges roughened

image number 3, cropped, flipped to look right, copied and turned black.

Heart from copy of image cut out and placed over original image.

Featured Day @ Gecko Galz

 Today is my day to feature my Design Team project for the month of August over at Gecko Galz. 

I can't believe the year has gone so fast! Sticking with the theme of mermaids, the images are so pretty. I made three blank 5x7 cards.

I made the images ATC size and used a paint effect on the backgrounds in light blue, when I printed them, the light blue had turned into a murky grey so I grabbed a blue crayon and coloured over it, pressing lightly. Matched each mermaid with a square of mulberry paper and then added a piece of bling.

I hope you'll join our Merry Mermaid challenge where the winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at the Gecko Galz shop. The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product, which can be something you purchased from the shop or a freebie. 

If you sign up for the Gecko Galz newsletter, you'll be able to claim a free collage sheet each month and get first claim on the weekly Super Sunday Deals! 

Why don't you pop over to the Gecko Galz blog to see all the fabulous designs by the very talented Design Team, don't forget to grab the free digi stamp on each post!

Merry Mermaids

A new month means a new Customer Challenge at the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of AUGUST is 'Merry Mermaid'. So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop! 

I used the Mermaid Dreams Junk Journal Kit for my digital page, with vintage pictures and embellishments, this kit is really versatile.

The backing ground is actually the two matching triangle corners merged together and the main pihcture placed on top, I just played around with the transparency on both items till I liked the result. I turned the mermaids into Sirens.

"In Greek mythology, The Sirens lived on a rocky island in the middle of the sea, possibly near Italy. They sang melodies so beautiful that sailors passing by couldn't resist getting closer to them. Following the sound of music, the sailors would steer their boats towards them or jump in the water to get closer. Either way, it always ended in disaster on the rocks."

 I hope you'll join in the 'Merry Mermaid' Challenge, where the Winner gets a $25 shopping spree to spend at the Gecko Galz shop. (The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product... this can be one of the freebies, or, of course, you can buy at the Etsy shop).

Sea of Dreams

A new month means a new Customer Challenge at the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of July is 'Sea of Dreams'. So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop! 

I guess its safe to say 90% of the population has been dreaming of the sea these last few months - 

I'm definitely dreaming of the sea as we go away for 5 days next week, camping to the seaside!! Seahouses in Northumberland - expecting it too be windy and probably a bit chilly as Northumberland often is, but the campsite is by the beach/sea and I don;t care waht the weather is, though whether I have a paddle or not is debateable! 

My Customer Challenge sample is 3 digital atc's - my printer ink decided to run out, so I had to change what I was going to do, but I still loved doing them. Once I get round to buying ink I will print them out, as the mermaids decoupaged will look great I think.

The Secret Garden

A new month means a new Customer Challenge at the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of May is 'Secret Garden'. So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop! 

My design work for today - I used four separate images, lady, writing paper, seed packet and bluebird/clock. 

I put the seed packet down first, then layered the writing paper over it and applied a transparency filter till I got the writitng where I wanted it to show, then I put the lady over the top, I decided it needed a little something else so had a mosey round my files till I came across the pretty bluebird with clock, the colours would fit perfectly, so I fiddled around with a different transparency filter to get the look I wanted.

Love how it turned out, the colours are so soft and pastel.

Love through the Ages

A new month means a new Customer Challenge at the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of Febuary, is of course love related - 'Love through the Ages'. If you fancy a play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop! 

Using Hugs and Kisses I chose the main image, from The Written Word Paper pack (now an atc kit) I chose the letter for the background, I love playing with the transparency filters on Craft Artist, this took me about two hours to do, but I love how dreamy and vintage it looks.

(I actually printed this out onto aged antique 'fluffy' paper what I got from Amazon, orignally for Santa letters, and it looks even more dream like, something I will use for a Valentine decorartion once I have embellished it - I have a few dried rose flower heads off of a plant, so am going to have a play with those)

Well, I made it through a very hectic Christmas at work, unfortunatly my role as Community Champion has meant that I've lost most of my crafting time ;(  these last few months but I'm hoping to make more time in this new year, I forget how how much I love designing something, whether it be phsyical or digitally, I've even started embroidering an old hankie of mums, its a printed flower design so I'm just going to sewing over the print and embellishing here and there, but at least its getting me crafting!

I got digital for this challenge, doing two postcards, using the newly released Far East Craft Kit and Postcards for You craft kit.

Once upon a Christmas

A new month means a new Customer Challenge at the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of December is 'Once upon a Christmas'. So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop! 

Can't believe its nearly Christmas..... again! This is the first Christmas card I have made, and to be honest if I wasn't in the Gecko Galz DT, I don't think I'd have done this one, I'm not intending too make any more this year. I just won;t have time this year as I started a new job role in October and its taking up all my time, I used to do 25hours with 3 days off, but now I do 35 hours with 2 days off so I'm a bit stuck for time but I'm doing a lot of crafty things in my role as Community Champion - for Christmas I've made up a lot of Reindeer food whihc still need labels doing, and the santa keys below all for Christmas at work, all proceeds go to Clic Sargent. (Community Champion is a role to help each Morrisons store get out into their community, and bringing the community into store  - working alongside community leaders, helping out projects, helping raise funds - donating prizes, hampers etc. I've only been doing it since the middle of October and its very rewarding).

So, here's my card - I love traditional (I won't say old fashioned) Christmas so I choose a lovely stag image for my card.

image from Reindeer Jewel It

other papers from stash

wooden snowflake The Range

red glitter glue it

(I did sand paper the glitter down slightly as it was too red for the card)

assorted faux vintage keys - amazon

red ribbon - The Range

Poem - the internet

Feature Day @ Gecko Galz

Today is my day to feature my Design Team project for the month of October over at Gecko Galz. 

I watch a great many junk journal videos over on YouTube and oh-aah over many on pinterest and of course am envious of my fellow design teamers who make absolutely stunning ones, but I can't seem to make them.... I always get stuck on what to put in them, what looks good together etc. Maybe I over think them, so I tend not to try them, BUT this month I decided to start off simple and actually print off the whole of  Frightfully Delightful Journal Kit and play with that, I didn't have too worry about mixing and matching papers, images etc, everything was right there to play with. Does what it says on the tin!

The only thing I used from another sheet Haunted Ephemera was the cats hat.

I had some large black cards I've never used, so cut them down to the size of the papers I had printed off and matted & layered them on, matching facing sides, and embellished each one, again mirroring something on the facing pages - witches hat then moon. The 2 atcs were made last year, but they look good in the journal.

Pretty pleased with the result!

I hope you'll join our Happy Haunting challenge where the winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at the Gecko Galz shop. The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product, which can be something you purchased from the shop or a freebie.

Autumn Calling!

A new month means a new Customer Challenge with the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of September is 'Autumn Calling'. 

So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop!

And by Jove, Jeeves!!  Autumn has definitely landed here in the UK - seriously thinking about putting the heating on!! Love the colours of Autumn, and how the shades are copied in fashion - gorgeous browns, mustards and oranges!

Two 6 x 6 cards for today - the first one using an acorn & leaf icon from Autumn Calling Craft Kit and digitally stamped into a wreath, backed by a paper from Autumn Harvest ATC Set. The stamped sentiment is a magazine freebie from Tonic, in Jet Black Stazon - I printed on Matte photo paper so this has had an effect on the ink taking to the paper - and a couple of autumnal coloured gems

The second one uses an image from Autumn Splendor Collage Set, backed onto black card and stuck onto a paper from Crafters Companion "Winter Florals" paper pack. Spellbinder die for the sentiment.
