Creative Inspirations Challenge 22 and DT call......

Hi everyone its time for the next challenge over at Creative Inspirations also sadly Louise is stepping down from the DT so we are looking for a new DT member,if you are interested please add DT to your link in Mr.Linky.
Wishing you well for the future Louise.
The challenge this week is a sketch and set by Louise so if you want to enter please pop on by the challenge blog and check it out along with the great prize on offer.
Looking forward to seeing all your creative projects.

So here is my take on the sketch using my fav papers...Cosmo Cricket.... in fact everything used was by Cosmo Cricket except the UTEE i used on the image to give it a cracked glass effect and string.
I have never used UTEE before but watched a tutorial over at Crafty Creations Challenge blog and had a go and like the effect,sadly the piccy doesn't do it justice.
I was running in and out the craft shed and the house like a mad loon to pop the images in the freezer...and ohhhhh the best part was cracking them when they came back out the freezer!!!!

Here is another card using the same sketch again using Cosmo Cricket goodies.
Thanks for looking
cheerio for now

Crafting for Jude.....

Recently i have been trying to put together a few handmade crafty bits and bobs for Jude for her Alzheimer's Bazaar anh went back to my love of prim and country...had a play with my background too.
I had forgotten how much i love prim and country crafts..gingham,homespun fabrics,cinnamon,pointy prim hearts..when i started out crafting this was the kinda stuff i enjoyed doing including salt dough Angels.
Anyhoo this is what i came up with and hopefully they will be of some use....
This is a picture of my little wooden prim hearts all snuggled up ready to go to a hopefully new home and the picture below is how they look with there little prim cards handwritten and little shabby centres...
and this is how a few look on my twisty tree out back along with cinnamon sticks,homespun fabric oh and of course more prim hearts.
Also a picture of a few prim notebooks..i machine stitched round all the fabric...
and a few gift tags...Picture of one of the cards i made...and lastly a pretty prim homespun tin to house them all...
Thanks for being patient and thanks for looking.
Hugs to you all and hopefully will get some dough Angels made at the weekend to share with you all.
