It's been a busy start to the new year. Decorations are all down, house is clean and hubby and the boys are all back to work, college or school. I, on the other hand, have another month off before I start my new job. Hopefully, this will give me the opportunity to have a huge and very necessary, sort out of my crafty stash and my wardrobe.

Just wanted to share with you my project for this month over at The Crafting Café. The theme is Think Pink, very appropriate seeing how October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The sponsor this month is Aurora Wings and you must pop over to the web page to have a look at these amazing designs. The image I chose is called Autumn Rose. I used a technique that I have been dying to Lou http://www.blogger.com/profile/02409324892405485628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326011284961308062.post-53259685730722324342014-09-25T07:00:00.000+01:002014-09-25T07:00:05.448+01:00September challenge at The Crafting CafeHi everyone,
It's been a long time since I posted and it's been a very busy time in the Moore household. My eldest has left school , had his prom, GCSEs, started college and also got a job, all in the space of 5 months. Oh and I started a full time job too!
Any how, this month over at The Crafting Café, the challenge is Shades of One.

I chose to work with the image called Cider Apple and picked some colours that I don't work with very often.
I coloured the image with some soft pencils for a change and made an easel card with my scalloped and plain oval dies. hope you like it and would loveLou http://www.blogger.com/profile/02409324892405485628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326011284961308062.post-19927304259130407582014-07-06T00:08:00.003+01:002014-07-06T00:08:47.444+01:00A couple of commissionsThis week has been quite a busy one in crafting terms. My new kit came from Docrafts featuring some lovely new collections to work with over the next couple of months. I have also been working on a couple of commissions.
The first was for my friend at work to give to her husband who is a keen fisherman. I used a Pinflair Background Artist image and then blended my distress inks to add Lou http://www.blogger.com/profile/02409324892405485628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326011284961308062.post-25878437915740497112014-06-06T07:00:00.000+01:002014-06-06T07:00:00.346+01:00The Crafting Cafe June challengeHi everyone.
Here we are again with my project for the challenge over at The Crafting Café. This month's theme is Love and Marriage and our sponsor for this is Bugaboo Digital Stamps. I had never seen these before, but what a fab set of images we had to work with. I chose Ava and Deacon Love word for my project.

It's that time of the month again when I post my project for The Crafting Cafe blog. This month's sponsor is Oak Pond Creatons. I hadn't heard of these before but the images we were given to work with are adorable. Pop over to our blog during the month to see some other really cute images.

I'm a little bit late this month with my DT entry for The Crafting Café. It's been really busy since my last post. My eldest hit 16 and is about to leave school in 3 weeks, we had Mother's Day and Mum was 70 the same day and the following week was Hubby's and sister's birthdays. However, it is done.
The theme of this month's challenge was One for The Boys, a very suitable choice inLou http://www.blogger.com/profile/02409324892405485628noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326011284961308062.post-58725041036312654432014-03-06T07:00:00.000+00:002014-03-06T07:00:00.350+00:00Crafting Cafe March ChallengeHi everyone,
It's that time of the month again when I show my card for the challenge over at the Crafting Café. This month's brief was to make a clean and simple card using one of the lovely images from LEJ designs.
Now, some of my lovely crafty friends know that I don't do CAS cards very often, they are sooo out of my comfort zone, so I hope you like what I've done.

My middle son has been given the opportunity this year, to visit the WW1 battlefields of France and Belgium with his school. This got me thinking of a card I made last year using a beautiful stamp from Indigoblu called Blazing Poppies.
I kept the card quite simple, for me anyway, using quite a limited palette.

Each month we have a challenge and this month's sponsors are WOW! embossing powders. The theme of this month's challenge is embossing, either heat embossing or dry embossing.

Can't believe it's been over 6 months since my last post and what a busy 6 months it has been. I have had lots of Docrafts demos and been lucky enough to play with some really fab goodies.
Today, I wanted to share with you something I made for my demo in my friend's shop, Beacon Crafts in Sedgley.

Spent a fantastic day at the NEC yesterday at Stitches, the trade craft show with my dear friend Helen who owns a lovely little craft shop in Sedgley called Beacon Crafts.
Anyhow, because of this and also spending a very lovely weekend with hubby and the boys and also a baby shower for my friend Jodie, I haven't had much time to play since last week's offerings.

Thought I would just pop a little post on today to show you a little project that has been whizzing round my head for weeks, ever since I had my kit from Docrafts. Well, finally, after days of planning, here it is.
This post is called Ah Bisto because that's exactly what it is- an old granules can. I've used X cut dies to cut a base and then coverred it all in contrasting Lou http://www.blogger.com/profile/02409324892405485628noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326011284961308062.post-48269678674294421182013-02-11T15:44:00.001+00:002013-02-11T15:44:36.869+00:00Best laid plans and all thatHey everyone,
Just a little post today to let you know how stupid I am. Went to pay an instalment for my son's trip to France this morning and OMG what a panic, could not find my debit card anywhere. After careful thought, I realised I had left it in a shop in our local shopping centre yesterday.

Can't believe it's been so long since I last blogged.Last year was really manic and I seemed to have so many other things to do, my little crafty world got rather neglected.

Just thought I'd share a few more birthday cards that I have made over the last week, March and April are very busy months for us.
As you can see, I'm still in my inky, vintage mood at the moment, but that could all change this week with another demo for Docrafts at the weekend!
