Wall Hanging

My challenges on 3'Cs were to do a LO (which is here) and a wall hanging. I said "I saw this and loved it, but never got round to making one. Now’s our chance. But once again, can you do it without using glitter, bling, pink, photos of people or pets?" karen added the points and extras on a couple of days later, which were:

POINTS FOR THIS CHALLENGE:

COMPLETING THE PROJECT: 40 POINTS

BONUS POINTS USING ACRYLIC PAINT: 10 POINTS

I made my hanging before the points and extras were posted on the forum and didn't use acrylic paint, so off I went to get some. I stamped 3 flowers using it and stuck these on. The papers are all from K & Co's Hannah scrap pad to go from Charmed. I designed the wording and printed it from my computer, then hand cut the chipboard. I did the same with the frames. After covering them with the paper, I used a brush marker to edge them all. I used 3 of my favourite photos from my Somerset holiday to go with the theme of tranquil.

Time to Craft, Save and Shop

I was given this gorgeous clock as a thank you for helping my cousin's son in his shop while he was at an appointment. I hve put it above my craft desk. Originally the wording underneath it was stuck on my wall (using white tac) as individual letters, but when I took them off, some of the paint came with them! So, instead of being able to have the words go round the clock as planned, I made a sign to cover the mess.

The letters and butterflies are die-cut on my Xyron Personal Cutting System. The red card is from The Paper Mill and the cream and black card is from stash. To outline the items, I used a black brush marker.

I am busy saving my pennies (and pounds if I have them) to go to Ally Pally in September. I realised that I needed something to keep it all in, so I made this.

I used a cheese football tub I had from Christmas and decorated it using:

K & Co's Hannah Scrap Pad To Go
Prima Flowers (both from CCC)

Diamond Stickles

Fibres from stash

Now all I've got to do is keep saving, so I can shop till I drop!

My Scrapping

Hi everyone, as you know I've been busy scrapping. I've done a couple of LO's of my niece and eldest nephew and here are some others I've done.

This one is for the Elsie Flannigan Challenge #1 on UKS. Challenge was to cut up a phrase.

Paper is Center City - Astor Place from Charmed Cards and Crafts

Phrase is Rusty Pickle Mayflower Cardstock Coupons also from Charmed Cards and Crafts

I've also used buttons and fibres to embellish the LO.

This LO is for the Elsie Flannigan Challenge #2 on UKS. Challenge was to take your favourite photo and change it to B & W for the LO.

I used my favourite photo of my mum on our girls holiday in Somerset last year. It was nice seeing her take a quiet moment beside the stream in Cheddar as she was always so busy at work and home.

The papers and sayings that I mounted onto chipboard (a picture is worth a thousand words / memories last forever / serene) are from K & Co's Hannah Scrap Pad To Go from Charmed Cards and Crafts as is the Prima flower.

I used the Ellison Tootsie Die Cut Alphabet for the large lettering and the phrase on vellum is "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart - Helen Keller"
