Gothic Arches - Faerie theme

This is the gothic arch that I made for Gothic Arches "Faerie" theme. I'm so happy with how it turned out - this is one of my favourite faerie images, I always enjoy making something with her.

The background is torn scrapbooking paper - a gray silvery colour. The scroll, hearts and word have been stamped, and Kindy Glitz added. I found the lacy flower in amongst my embellishments, and layered it with a polka dotted flower and blue ribbon - attached with staples.

2011 ATC Calendar swap

A couple of days ago, Donna (my co-owner) organised a 2011 ATC calendar swap for ATCs-NZ. She found the template here: SplitCoast Stampers. I immediately downloaded the template, and have made ALL my ATCs - once I started I couldn't stop. In fact, I made TWO sets - one for myself! lol

They've all got stamping on them - one of my "resolutions" for this year is to use my stamps more - and I've made a good start.

What a great idea for a swap, thank you Donna! And I can't wait to do one for 2012 ... :-)

Art doll tags

Art Doll tags, made in Feb 2010.

The tag doll was made for an ATC-Art doll swap - and I enjoyed making it soooo much that I decided to make tag doll cards. I started with a shipping tag, and used one of my favourite stamps ("Carpe Diem") for the body - I love her serene look.

Hmmmm ... I think I feel a tag doll swap coming up for Crafty Frenz ...

Too cute for words

3 x 3's - what a nice size!! I joined Maggies new group - Papercrafting & Trading - and fell in love with 3x3's!!!

This is the first one that I did - I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it - maybe trade it - but for now it's sitting on the shelf in my office so I can enjoy it!

The stamps I used are new ones that I got from our local Warehouse - they don't often have a lot of new crafting supplies, but I always check them out when I'm in town, just in case they get in something like this. This set has some lovely swirls, a butterfly, dragonfly and very cool flowers.
