Imagination Crafts - Anything Goes

Hello and welcome to you today.

Hope you have had a lovely weekend.

Its the 1st of September which means its
New Challenge Time over at 

Imagination Crafts Challenge Blog
Thanks to everyone who entered last months challenge the entries were stunning

September Challenge
The Theme is Anything Goes

I decided to go for a bit of Christmas this time as the
The Imagination Crafts Christmas Stencils are fabulous and so effective.

I've team the stencil up with the Mdf frame and Sparkle medium

which can both be found at the

Imagination Crafts Website

How to:

First paint your mdf with the stencil paint and leave to dry which really does dry quickly.

Using low tac tape lay your stencil onto your painted mdf frame and spread over your Sparkle Medium.

Paste Sparkle Medium onto the Star Mdf shape and attach using wet glue and leave to dry.

Finally add some ribbon to hang the frame with.

There is a fabulous prize of the £40 voucher to spend on Imagination Craft goodies so what are you waiting for. :)

Look forward to seeing your entry.

Pop on over to the Blog to see the super fabulous inspiration from the talented DT all ready to inspire you.

Thanks for stopping by and i hope to see you again soon.

Stay Safe and Happy Crafting till next time.

Come and join us Today 10am till 4pm at HQ in Retford Fabulous Demo's throughout the day.

Here is a little make i've done with the fabulous 

Christmas Stamps.

This is how the box started off  before I took to it with IndigoBlu GeeSso Good! Gesso.

We bin loads of these boxes in work so thought what a waste, so thought i'd take some home and have a crafty play with them.

I was asked by the lovely Carol Bignall to join in with the Creative Bloggers Hop. The hop happens every Monday with lots of inspirational bloggers taking part every week.

Now for the questions

1. What am I working on?
At the moment I am doing lots of prep for IndigoBlu.
2.How does my work differ from others in my genre?
I wouldn't say my work differ's from others at all but hope crafters enjoy what I do.
3. Why do I write/create what I do?
Simply because I love to create what I do as it puts a smile on my face.
4. How does your writing/creative process work?
I either have something in my head i'd like to create or I find inspiration from a item i see.
Now onto the 3 Wonderful Bloggers I picked to carry the baton next week.

Fun in The Sun - Polkadoodles

Hello and welcome to you today.

Its the middle of the month which means its DT midway inspiration for you.

With all the beautiful sunny weather we have had as late the

Polkadoodles Challenge

Is simply perfect for this time of the year

Fun in the Sun

 There is a fab prize on offer for you its the Brand New Work & Play 6 collection worth £10.99 and trust me its mega packed full of crafty goodness.

So here is my bit of inspiration for you.

I have used the Double Sprinkle of Kraft Cd

Such an adorable collection and the papers are to die for as I love Kraft Card.

Everything is from the Cd apart from the Spellbinder Grand Decorative Circle's, Kraft Card & 2 little wooden ladybirds.

To make the fence stand out as a stopper for the easel all I did was cut two slits in the flower paper and cut the fence posts longer then scored them and pushed them through the slits and stuck them down before matting onto the pink gingham paper.

For lots more inspiration from the talented team head on over to the Blog.

We look forward to seeing your fabulous entries, you have got to be in it to win it.

Beach Huts - Imagination Crafts

Hello and welcome to you today.

I hope you have been having lots of crafty fun.

I'm busy busy at the moment really need some more hours in the day.

We are half way through August already WOW time flies when your having fun.

We are also half way through the latest challenge over at 

Imagination Crafts Challenge Blog

We have had some fabulous entries already but with such a fab prize on offer if you have not entered yet, what are you waiting for ;).........

Here is a little piece of inspiration from me

Hope you like it.

 One thing about living at the seaside is there is always lots of sand.

I have used the
Beach Huts Stencil

First I used distress inks with my stencil to make the scene.

Then I taped the scene in the middle of the mount.

I added the sand into the frame then placed the mount on top and sealed the frame closed so the sand wont't fall out.

Such a simple piece but so effective 

It is now proudly hanging on my daughters bathroom wall and i'm already making another for my wall.

(The frame is from Ikea).

Head on over to the Blog for some super inspiration from the talented DT

We would love you to come and say HI.

Thanks so much for stopping by today 

I hope you will pop by again soon.

Stay Safe & Happy Crafting till next time.
