Carol's Workshop

So on Saturday I attended a workshop by Carol (Krafty Pieces) and made the most beautiful notebook.  Everything was altered including the inside pages which are as pretty as the cover.  I really enjoyed myself and never realised I needed a Bind it All machine until the end of the day!

As you can see, it really is a beautiful notebook!

Thanks for looking.

Matchbox and ATC

Today was the monthly Bramford Crop, so last night was spent altering a matchbox ready for the swap.  The theme was 'Ladies'.  This was my first altered matchbox but I had an idea of how the outside would look after finding some Bubbles Born to Shop stamps in my stash, however I found the inside a bit more difficult.

         

Bramford has a monthly ATC challenge and this month's theme was 'Spring'.  I used the lovely goodies from the recent Tim Holtz TSV on QVC, I love the tiny stamp set! 

I really enjoyed the chllenges and will be taking part again next month!

Thanks for stopping by.

I've arrived...

So maybe I'm coming to the party a little late but I thought it was about time to get my attempt at a crafting blog up and running! I'm not sure how it will go so please be patient as I take my first steps. 

Why now, well I finally have my craft room organised (with a little help) meaning that I'm ready to start creating at home again.  There are still a few final touches but all in all it's a great room and I'm really pleased with my new space.

My first challenge is to complete an ATC on the theme of Spring, plus to alter a matchbox with the theme of Ladies, these are for a crop I attend a week Saturday (5th March).  I haven't attempted either an ATC or an altered matchbox before so it should be a real challenge!  I'll put some photo's on when I'm finished.

Could this become additive I'm wondering??!!
