New release time at Jellypark Friends and a new Challenge announcement

Happy Friday, I hope you are all well on this cold January morning.

It's been one of those weeks for me that I can't wait to see the back of so I spent some relaxing time in the craft room yesterday.

There is a new challenge over at the Jellypark Friends Challenge Blog and the theme is Buttons and Bows so we would love to see projects that have either buttons or bows on them or if you're feeling extravagant both lol.

There are also two brand new release images which are available from the Jellypark Store today and here is the first one.

Isn't is sew sweet, pardon the pun lol. I coloured it with promarkers and embroidered around it. I then cut around the edge with pinking shears and die cut some coordinating buttons and silver scissors.

It certainly meets the button side of the challenge theme, not a bow in sight for this one but I managed to incorporate both elements in my other card in the post above :o).

Pop on over to the challenge blog where there is a wealth of beautiful makes from the wonderful Jellypark Design Team.

Happy Crafting

Challenges:-


Brown sugar challenge - anything goes

New year starts with a new project and new Jellypark Challenge

Happy New Year everyone and I really hope all of your crafty dreams come true this year.

I haven't been creating as much lately, sometimes other commitments just don't allow but I miss it so much and have decided to make more time.

I wanted to do a tutorial for Jellypark and realised that I needed a new version of my Blog Challenge Calendar for 2014. I've been using one of these for quite a while. I like to have the information right in front of me in paper form as I don't always have access to the internet from my craft room. It has been a really handy way for me to keep track of everything.

I have had a wonderful couple of days creating the tutorial for the jellypark store it's free to download so pop on over there for a look :o)

I used a fantastic 2014 calendar download also one of the new releases Resolution List digi from Jellypark for this project. I also used some of my own digital creations which I have decided to sell in my Etsy shop as an instant download. The notelets I created for my Papercraft Essentials magazine project have proved to be very popular and I hope you like these ones just as much :o).

Here is my make and as I said the tutorial is available for free over at the Jellypark Store.

My Blog Challenge Desk Calendar also fits the theme for our current challenge over on the Jellypark Friends blog which is "New beginnings", it features a calendar, a resolution list (which I won't stick to) and also it's appropriate because I am starting the new year by being bold and finally selling my digital artwork myself.

New challenge over at Jellypark friends and the theme is ABC

Hello and Happy Halloween

 

My little girl and I carved the pumpkin, it's by far the best one we've ever done :o)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hope you are all well. Today I am able to blog about the calendar that I created for Papercraft Essentials Magazine it is also for the ABC - Anything but a card Challenge over on the Jellypark Friends Challenge Blog

 

I've had such lovely feedback about it and am so delighted that so many people are recreating it. All of the digis I used are available from the store here.

 

Here are a couple of pictures.

 

I chose not to use any digi's on the front because I wanted the inside to be an extra special surprise :o)

 

 

Each page is themed to it's relevant month, ie mum and daughter in March (UK Mothers Day) though it could easily be swapped for May. Spring has the super cute sheep. School's out for summer in July, flip flop in August etc.

 

It was an absolute delight to make and now I've filled in all of my friends and families birthdays and all of the other special occasions, it's something that will be used for years and years to come.

 

I have a new project coming soon so watch this space ;o)

 

Over at the Challenge Blog there are also 2 new release images which are perfect for the current challenge theme being super cute tags.

 

That's all from me for now.

Happy Crafting Folks.

Papercraft Essentials Magazine issue 99

Evening folks, just a quickie post about the fact that my Papercraft Essentials Magazine popped through the letter box the other day. Why is that so interesting I hear you ask....I'm in it, that's why.    I have a wonderful 2 page spread with a fantastico project for you. I used lots and lots of Jellypark images. The main feature of the project is the amazing Calendar digis which are also available from Jellypark.

 

Here's a pic of the front cover. I'd show you the inside but don't want to spoil the surprise for those of you who haven't got it yet lol. Page 34 by the way he he.

 

I enjoyed making the calendar so very much and to see it photographed professionally was just wonderful. To top it all the lovely people at the magazine sent it back to me so I get to utilise it.

Happy Crafting Folks
