10 Tiny Toes EVENT 2


Hello my friends.
 
Wow everyone, we had over 70 submissions for our first Not Just Cards challenge.
I think that is amazing. Thankyou to everyone who played along with us.
Your support is greatly appreciated by everyone on the Design Team.
 
Now that our first challenge is successfully wrapping up, it is time to share some new inspiration for our second challenge.
 
For my first project this fortnight, I choose to work with some darling Digi Stamps 4 Joy images.
I created this brag book with matching wallet.
I thought this might be a lovely gift for a new mother or grand-mother.


 
I used some Graphics 45 paper for the wallet and as matts for the tri-fold pullout.
For my front images, I have used an additional fussy cut layer of vellum
over my original coloured images. I thought this gave my wallet some softness.
I also gave my wallet small accordion sides, allowing additional images or ephemera
to be added by the recipient.

 Be inspired by fellow design team members.
and most importantly, have fun creating.
 
Remember to stop by on Thursday to check out my next NJC project.
Thankyou and Happy Crafting.

Charlie Fishing Post-it Note Holder


Happy Fathers Day to all my Australian friends.
 
 
And since today is Father's Day here down under,
I thought I would bring you my second Not Just Cards (NJC) Project.
 
My father-in-law likes fishing, so I made him this adorable little post-it note holder.
It could also be used to hold a little calendar, or maybe a list of important dates on the back.



I used an adorable little Charlie Fishing Digi for this project, and the base is cut using The Cutting Cafe's Calendar Holder template. I first created a cereal box board base, then covered this with American Crafts' Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party Fascinating Friends paper.
I just love this image with this paper. For the fishing line I just used some black sewing thread.

Happy Crafting All.

Ballerina en Pointe

Hello Everybody.
 
September is upon us, and in Australia, the 1st of September is the first day of Spring.
 
What better way to celebrate than to bring you my very first
Not Just Cards (NJC) Design Team project.
Not only is this my first project, it is Not Just Cards (NJC) first challenge.
 

For this canvas I wanted lots of flowers, elegant lines and a light airy feel that was still striking.
I found this beautiful Aurora Wings ballerina image just perfect. So soft and feminine
with long beautiful lines (and flowers of course). 
After colouring her with my Promarkers, I added shimmer to her dress
(and shoes), her wings and her flowers.
I also added shimmer to all the die cuts and a little to the background.
I hope you love her as much as I do.
