Good Morning Everyone! I mentioned last week that I spent the Saturday before last at the Craft Show in Sandown getting inky and messy and having lots of fun taking part in the Workshops run by Ali-Craft. I finally got around to taking photos of what I made. I took part in 4 Workshops and here is what I made at two of them. First up is a card made using Distress stains, inks, masking and Tim

We have a great theme for you this week on the Pollycraft Challenge blog which is...  These are a few of my favourite things I have made a card using my favourite Pollycraft Critter, spots and stripes which are also my favourite, my favourite spotty buttons and my favourite gingham

I have been playing with the gorgeous Echo Park Times and Seasons for the past few days and some lovely Sprocket dies I borrowed from a crafty Friend and I thought they would work really well to make a card using the lovely sketch by Clare for this fortnight's Fiskarettes Sketch Challenge.  I had initially thought of using flowers where the circles but replaced them with cogs which gave

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you had a good week and are having a good Weekend. I am planning to do some crafting today. I have made a lovely soup for my lunch to keep me warm as it is really cold here today! I received a gorgeous package of goodies from Katharina at Whiff of Joy this week and had so much fun playing with the postcard stamp and the gorgeous ribbons! I used some lovely Tilda

Hello Everyone! Woohoo it's Wednesday! Only a few more days until the weekend! I had a bit of a crafty session last night making cards I can't show you as they are for a Magazine Commission. They are in a totally new style for me so I have really been enjoying the Challenge!  I have a a little sweetie from the latest release from Sugar Nellie today. This

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend, I had a fab time on Saturday at the Sandown craft show. I spent the whole day there and took part in four workshops run by Ali-craft. I learnt lots of new techniques and met lots of lovely ladies at the same time. I spent most of the day yesterday cleaning and tidying up as I hadn't cleaned properly for quite a while! Too much crafting to

Good Afternoon Everyone! I hope you are having a good day and are getting ready for the weekend. I have a card today for two Challenges using the adorable Tiddly Inks Wryn. I used Wryn on a card a few days ago and couldn't resist colouring her up again in a completely different style. I followed the colour scheme of yellow, orange, green and blue from the Tiddlyinks Challenge and used various

Good Morning Everyone! The girls on the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog are getting ready for Valentine's Day with this fortnight's theme which is 'Love is in the air' and I have taken this quite literally for the card I have made for the Challenge. I have used the fun 'Penguin Trio' from the latest release at Whiff of Joy who are floating through the air clutching their heart shaped balloons.

Good Morning! I hope you are having a good week so far. You have probably noticed some changes on my blog lately, I decided to try out a new template and I have also upgraded to the new blogger interface. It took me a while to take the leap as I was a bit worried it may mess up my blog but it is slowly growing on me. One of the features is the ability to have extra large photos displayed so I am

Good Morning Everyone! I don't have any new cards to show you today but I thought I would show you my new Embossing folder storage. I used to store my folders in a large black zip up folder with my dies but I was running out of space in my second folder so needed a cheaper and more easily accessible way to store my embossing folders. I came accross this binder at the weekend from Paperchase....

Good Morning Everyone! It's Monday (booooo!) but luckily we are back to our regular Monday Challenges on the Pollycraft Challenge blog (yaaaaay!!!) so at least there is something good to look forward to now on Mondays. Cazza has come up with a fabulous theme for you this week....Bingo! She has put together a grid and you will need to pick three items in a line and feature them on your card.

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are having a good Weekend so far. I don't normally have a lot of spare time to take part in all the Challenges I enjoy but made a special effort when I saw that the By Lori Designs Colour Challenges were back. I have used a favourite By Lori Designs image I bought a while ago from Claudia and co and coloured her in to match the colour scheme for the Challenge.

Hello again, I am back with my latest 12 days of Whimsy Projects. I can't believe tomorrow is the last day! I have had so much fun trying these mixed media Projects and have learnt a lot.For day 9, I made a tag which I inked with distress inks and then stamped with a Hero Arts stamp before spraying with glimmer mist. I love the effect the glimmer mist gave to the stamped background. I layered up

Good Morning Everyone! My Nanny, who celebrated her 90th Birthday this year, moved house at the end of last month. She had been in her old flat for a long time so it was quite an upheaval but she had been wanting to move for quite a while so we are all pleased she is now settled in her new Home.I made her a little card to celebrate using some lovely bright summery colours. I love this Echo Park

Hello Again! As promised yesterday, I am back with my 6th day of Whimsy Project. The tutorial was to make Yuletide tin ornaments and I have had to adapt it a bit as I didn't have any tins and I couldn't find any to buy locally either so I used some square Kraft boxes I had at home instead.I started off with the larger box and made this painting it with Tim Holtz distress ink and adding Prima

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are well and had a good weekend. Mine was very productive. I did nearly all my Christmas shopping, went out for a lovely meal with my hubby, wrapped presents, did some cleaning and even managed to fit in some crafting time! I am here with a reminder that there is still time for you to join in with our Pollycraft Christmas fun Challenge. We are exactly half way

Good Morning Everyone! I am very excited today as I am today's host for the Whiff of Joy Advent Calendar.

Good Morning Everyone! I have something a little bit different for you today...I have been wanting to try some different styles of crafting for a while now but never seem to have the time or never really know where to start. My good Friend Petra is a Master of mixed media and creates beautiful pieces of art which I adore so when she told me about the 12 days of Whimsy and the wonderful tutorials
