Create 10 - Project #3

I'm a bit behind with Create 10 at the moment, but here is Friday's project.

I was very excited when I found we were creating a cork noticeboard as I'm decorating my craft room at the moment and it will be a nice addition! (Plus I've had a sheet of 12x12 cork in my stash forever!)

I must admit I was a bit naughty for today's project and didn't follow the instructions at all, I just took the noticeboard idea and ran with it. I decided to use up some old Sassafras products and thought this paper from the My Dearest range would make a lovely frame. I cut the middle out leaving a 2in frame and cut round some of the elements to leave them intact then mounted it onto a chipboard frame, then onto the cork (I mounted this onto chipboard too for strength so the whole things is very sturdy!!).

Finally I went to town with the embellishments then added some plaited ribbon to hang it from.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out - hope you like it!

Create 10 - Project #2

Day 2 today of Create 10 and another fab project to work on, I really enjoyed this one, very "me" and I had great fun routing through my stash choosing what bits to use!

Leo also added another little challenge to make a card using a couple of techniques we've learnt so far, so I whipped up this quick card for a friend's birthday on Saturday.

Until tomorrow!

Create 10 - Project #1

And we're off!
Here's my take on the first class, absolutely loved it!! Finally got to grips with my glimmer mists, and loved making the bunting and ribbon roses I decided to use just ribbon rather than do paper ones too, but was too lazy to go and dig out a needle and thread, so secured them with pretty pins instead!

Roll on tomorrow!

Lots of layouts!

After a major scrapping hiatus at the end of last year, I think I'm finally getting my groove back!

So much so that I've signed up for Create 10 from Crafty Templates - a different project a day for 10 days, it starts today and the first class looks great - just got to decide on a photo now!

Back soon!

Pickleberry sketch

I have been very slack in the blogging department recently (no change there then!) But I have a valid excuse - the craft room is being decorated!! Which means I have stash all over the house and my main base of operation is currently the dining room table.

It's actually meant I've been more productive though (don't know what's happened there?!) so I have lots more layouts to share, but for now here's my take on the latest sketches on the Pickleberry blog, and no I know the layout looks nothing like the sketch - it started out similar then kind of "evolved"!

Another charity shop bargain....

Following on from my bargain Glimmer mists, I was in town again today so thought it would be rude not to pop back into the Red Cross shop, and I was not disappointed, I nabbed this little lot for a grand total of £8.30! ☺

Pickleberry sketch layout

I've finally finished my layout based on this months sketch on the Pickleberry blog featuring my childhood doggy Clare - bless her!
