Home...Is Where The Heart Is!

Well, it's been another eventful weekend, at Chez Williams'. Let me put it this way, between Carbon Monoxide alarms going off in the middle of the night, causing panic in the house as to what could've triggered it and then wondering if we would make it through the night without being killed by fumes. My Mum being bitten on her eyelid by an insect and an emergency trip to the GP's this morning, myself having an eye infection and my crafting mojo leaving the building...it was "one of those weekends"!! *phew ~ lol* Yes, you have to laugh or you would cry! hehe...

Anyway, enough about my tales of woe, today is the start of me finally being able to unveil all those crafting goodies that I was working on last month for Craftwork Cards' Cross Promotional Partnership with Spellbinders. To be honest, I've made so many...I might still be showing them, this time next month! Let me know if I start to bore you all... :)

And here is today's share, I hope you like it...

I decided it would be nice to make a freestanding picture frame, (there is a stand attached to the back which I forgot to photograph ~ doh!!) and as soon as I saw the colour of these gorgeous papers from the Sugared Almonds collection, I just thought...Tiffany's!! And that led me to think, my favourite actress is Audrey Hepburn and one of my favourite films, Breakfast At Tiffany's and voila...this is what came from that thought process.

On this project, I used the Rose Creations Die, Scalloped Circle, Foliage and Floral Flourishes, together with silver Candi, the Sugared Almond papers and some vintage ribbon.

And this card, which uses those gorgeous Sweet Meadow papers, Alphabits and Candi from The Classics, Project of the Month, has also winged it's way to CHA.

The inside of the card, where I die cut a heart and then doodled the words with a Kuretake Fineliner Drawing Pen.

Well, I hope you liked the first of the shares and remember, you can also check out more of the DT fabulous samples over on the Craftwork Cards blog. Today, there is the most stunning card from my blogging friend Lynda, that you really don't want to miss!

Hope you have a great week, everyone and thank you for visiting my blog to see all my creations! Hope you'll be back to see all my other samples.

See you soon.

I Can See Clearly Now...

Hi everyone and hope you're all having a great Wednesday.

As you know, every month the wonderful Craftwork Cards have a Project of The Month and this month is all about The Classics. It's a fabulous collection of all the great things you would expect from them, including enough blank cardstock and envelopes to make 24 cards, Candi, lots and lots of die cut messages in all shapes and sizes and the amazing new, Alphabits. All you need to do, is to add paper and adhesive...it's as easy as that!!!

I had so much fun with this kit and made lots of cards which I will show you over the next few days but this is the first of those shares and I hope you like it!

It's been a while since I've made an acetate card but I thought I'd give it another go and I am over the moon with how it turned out. I just hope the photos do the beauty of an acetate card justice...believe me, unless you're David Bailey, acetate isn't the easiest of products to photograph. lol

When you're making acetate cards, it's so hard to find really good quality acetate that will withstand the weight of embellishments and not become all droopy...so, if like me, you have had trouble in the past, then it will not be a problem any longer because I would recommend Craftwork Cards acetate. It's fabulous quality and it will not let you down...so to speak!! hehe...

Using a Tim Holtz stamp, I stamped onto the acetate with white Stazon and then adhered the pretty pink flowers that I made using the Rose Creations Spellbinders Die and papers from the Cottontail paper pack. I added some of those infamous Spellbinders flourishes that I might have mentioned how much I love, just once or twice in previous posts, some Candi and finally, a circle message from the Project of the Month.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day.

Thank you for stopping by and looking at all my little creations and for all your lovely comments.

See you soon.
