Forever Autumn over at Oak House Studio

Morning blogland, friends, followers and family. I have great news this week, after my three months on the Oak house Studio design team I have been invited to stay and join the senior design team.  

So September is here and we are into Autumn, a beautiful time of year with the changing leaves and berries on the trees. Over at Oak House Studio this month the theme for the September challenge is Autumn and we are looking forward to seeing all your fabulous cards and crafts with an Autumn theme.  Details of how to enter can be found on our facebook page HERE. 

I have been busy using some fabulous stamps from Oak House Studio and their wonderful coloured inks, everything used on my DT samples can be found HERE in the shop.

If you're visiting our facebook page please  give us a like, and why not join our facebook group inkspired by Oak House Studio where you can add your autumn challenge entry. 

Fairy Princess and A Lovely Light Plum card

Another special offer from Papermilldirect this week, a lovely 160gm light plum card at £4.50 for a small box.

This card and gift box were made for my granddaughter, a very girly girl who loves pinks and purples.

They were cut out using the Silhouette Cameo and a Silhouette Store cutting file.  I used the special offer plum card with white linen and grey for the card, and plum and ice cream pink (which was a special offer card a few weeks ago) with daffodil yellow for the crown and wand. 

The Papermilldirect Design Team blogs are below, check out what they have made this week:

Catching up on Tim's Tags

Hello friends, followers and blogland.  Life has been very busy recently with my OH being ill and having to take him for regular hospital visits and treatment, on top of having the grandchildren stay for the last two weeks.  I spent a few hours crafting yesterday evening and managed to catch up with Tim's 2014 tags, what fun I had getting messy and de-stressing.  Here are June and July's tags, August's tag is still work in progress.

I made two tags as I wasn't happy with the first background but they both looked fine when finished.

Loved trying out the different techniques, especially on the sea horse tag.  The sand effect turned out better than I though as I didn't have any distress embossing powders or the correct coloured glitter.
