Tanya Leigh Designz

Hello. First of all.. yes I have been a bad blogger... only posting once a week!!! Just to let you know.. I am back.. I was hit by a yuck flu bug with a few infections to boot.... so it has taken me a while to recover... is that a sign of me getting older do you think??

Anyway... today I managed to get a card made for Tanya Leigh... she sent me a DT package last month and I have only just opened it and had a good look.

 

So the below picture shows you the yummy pins that Tanya makes.... OMGosh I am in love with this white one... it is so right for a Christmas card with just the right amount of bling! Also you can see the cute wood veneer branch that she also stocks

 

The roman clock and "No peeking till..." are also in Tanya's collection of bits and pieces... she has heaps of these with all sorts of sayings on them... very handy!!

So that's it for today. It was nice to finally get back into my craft room... sit and smell my copics, and look at my neglected stash!!!!

Hope you have all had a great weekend

Hugs Tracy

Scottie Crafts - Take Note Bookmark

 

Hello, hope your week is going well for you so far. Today I have a bookmark made from Kaisercraft collection Take Note. My daughter is really getting into reading books, so I thought I would surprise her with this.

 

 I used Kaiser cardstock as my base, found a neat quote that happened to be the right shape from a 12x12 patterned Take Note paper and cut it out. I then added a paper doily and Take Note collectables, topped off with a Saturated Canary image I coloured in with copics.  On the top I wanted to add some weights.. so I threaded some American Crafts ribbon threw and added two metal owls to the ends.

Scottie Crafts - Take Note

 

Hello!!! Today I have a card made from the fantastic new Kaisercraft collection Take Note. I used Kaiser cardstock as my base, added the Take Note paper and mixed in a few Take Note Collectables to complete the card. Off to the side I doubled some American Crafts ribbon that matched the colours, and of course, what card would be complete without some yummy Prima flowers Mini Sachet Lakeside which have beautiful earthy tones and crystals

 

I loved colouring this colour to match the paper. I little tip... if I think an image is "too white" I like to do faux stitching around the edge. It seems to complete the card, as I do mainly cards, you will see it is something I do often every week.

 

 

I hope I have inspired you all, happy crafting!

Scottie Crafts - Thankyou

Hello, today I have a Thankyou card for Scottie Crafts, which I used 6 layers of Kaisercraft Remember Me paper. The base I used is American Crafts Smooth Cardstock

For added embellishments I used Flora Doodles Velvet Hydrangeas, Corsage Pins, Wood shape Butterflies and used thank you sentiment from Couture Creations - All Occasions Phrases.

Hope your week is going well. I am slowly getting better and not feeling as tired.. so should be up to full crafting strength soon... fingers crossed

Scotties Crafts - Gift Bag

Hi today showing you how I made this plain gift bag into something special, for my post over at Scottie Crafts

 I have used Kaisercraft Basecoat - Redwood as my background.  I then attached a strip of Graphic 45 French Montage Paper and May Arts Satin Pleats - Brown.

 

Then I added a scallop strip, tab and scallop circle from Kaisercraft Remember Me 6x6 pad, and used spellbinder to cut Lattice Rectangle. Sentiment used is from Couture Creations All Occasions Phrases

 

Finally I added an image, and finished the whole bag off by tying ribbon and key to the top

 



 

This ended up being a great little bag for one of my daughters birthdays!
So until next week... happy crafting

New Design Team - Scottie Crafts

Hi everyone. 
I am so excited to be sharing my very first for Scotties Crafts, and even more exciting was seeing this beautiful stamp from Crafters Companion - Angelica & Friends, Grace stamp waiting to be coloured up. I had so much fun doing the folds on her dress!

I used Coredinations Cardstock Red Pepper and Kaisecraft Remember Me patterned paper. I also added some white 15mm wide Seam Binding, Prima Mini Rose Buds, and a Corsage Pin for a little bling. If you like sparkle on your cards like me then you can't go far wrong with Ranger Stickles - Icicle, which I have used on her wings.

So that's my first post. I hope you all liked it.

Until next time... happy crafting

Artfull Crafts - Last post

Hi guys. This is my last post as an official Artfull Crafts Design Team member.  Even though I am sad to be leaving I believe that if one door shuts another will open (which it has).
 I have really enjoyed my time at Artfull Crafts and I am hoping you all got up the courage to apply for Liz's team. I can't speak highly enough of the girls here.. they are a friendly bunch and even the ladies working behind the scenes on the shop floor, picking out orders that arrive super fast... you guys rock! 
So on that note I have picked a selection of projects I have made over the last year here at Artfull Crafts that make me smile.. I hope with my term here I have added inspiration in your day. Special thanks to Liz for having me.

Happy crafting
