Teddy Bea cupcake pincushion

Hi all hope you are well.

It's Papertake time again and this week is

Anything Goes.

with the option of using metal

eg. corner, charm etc.
Which is sponsored by 
Lili of the Valley and
Wild Orchid Crafts.

As you might know i have been teaching myself

to crochet, and trawling through the  web i

  found some fabulous creations. Cupcakes 

seem to be very popular, i then saw the 

 crochet creations by the wonderful Tab, she is so clever

she crochet booties, teddies and some 

delish cupcakes which i used as my inspiration.

I then trawled the Internet for patterns and 

came across a fab site here that has lots of free patterns

for just about anything.

so using bits from different patterns 

and 5 cupcake experiments later i made this.

I am so chuffed with it.

I then used jump rings to
add a tag made with a teddy Bea image

and coloured it with polychromos pencils

to match the cupcake.
Used coordinated pins and added
three metal charms,
a butterfly, flower and a handmade for you charm.

It's perfect now as a little gift for someone,
although i don't know who yet, all my rellie's 
might get them for christmas.lol.

Thanks for stopping by

take care 

Altered Pen Pot

Good morning all hope your well.

It's Teddy Bo Tuesday

and we still have another week for the 

current challenge which is to

Alter something.

This week i have made a pot for my

Polychromos pencils, because i bought

them individually over a period of time i

don't have a fancy tin to keep them in, so

needed a pot.

What better way than to recycle and 

this extra large baked bean tin was 

the perfect size for them all.

 

I made it to match the tissue box from last week.

I have coloured the Teddy Bea's with

my poly pencils.

The papers are from Raspberry Road, i resized 

them on the computer to fit.

I have edged the top and bottom with lace trim.

The flower bouquet is made with flowers from

Wild orchid crafts.

I have also added some paint fusion butterflies.

 

I hope you have been inspired

to have a go and make your own

pen pots, they are so easy to make

and your doing your bit by recycling,lol. 

I'ts also release day over at Teddy Bo and co
and there are some

fabulous new images and a new friend,

so go and check them out.

 Thanks for stopping by today
and i'll be back later
 for Papertake Weekly.

Strawberry Cream Pie Yum!

Hi all hope you all had a fab weekend

i've been busy crocheting, i am so into

this at the moment my card making seems

to have taken a back seat.

I thought i'd show you what i have been making.

I made this on Saturday night 

there are some fabulous crochet cakes out there

so i have been having a play and made

this Cream Pie.

All i can say it's a good job i can't eat them,
Have i made you hungry now?

Just Swimming along

Hi all hope you are all well.

Just thought i would pop on and show you my latest

card while no ones on the computer and i can

use it in peace.lol.

 I made this for the Teddy Bo blog

using one of the latest digi stamps

that was released on Tuesday,

isn't she just fab.

As soon i i saw her i thought of these bubble

papers from Magnolia, although i 

don't have much left of it now, i'll have to see

if i can get some more.

Teddy Bea is coloured in with Polychromos pencils 

and blended with sansodor.

The sentiment is from a mermaid stamp set i think

was by Woodware.

The sea weed flourishes are from a

Marianne creatables die.

I have also added a few touches of star dust stickles

i've nearly run out of that as well but i must

say it's the first glitter i turn to all the time, it

just goes with any colour you used.

Well hope you have a fab weekend and the weather

stays nice for you all.

Take care

Hi Cupcake

Hi all hope you've been enjoying this glorious weather.
I have found it hard to craft it's to warm
and i would rather be in the garden.

Anyway had a bit of a colour the other night 
and decided to make a card for some challenges
seen as i haven't for a while.


I'm entering 

Addicted to stamps - Cupcakes
The Shabby tea room - Relax and enjoy using
yellow, Pink and Greens 

What way to relax and enjoy,
sat in the middle of a giant cupcake..lol. 


The digi stamp is from Teddy Bo &Co due to be 
released on the 2nd of August,
i have coloured it with polychromos pencils.
The sentiment is from the cupcake stamp set 
from inkadinkado.
The papers are from Raspberry road one of their
new sets out called Pink Lemonade.
I have ruffled some pink and yellow seam binding.
The doily is a Marianne Creatables die.
Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.

Wow it's still warm and it's 9pm
i think it's going to be a hot one tonight.

Papertake challenge Sketch 58

Hi all i'm back with this weeks Papertake 

weekly challenge

it's sketch time.

and we are sponsored this week by 

Simon Says Stamp.

Finally used my Strawberry Tilda, she's been sat in the 

packet unopened for a while...tut tut.

That's not like me i usually open new stamps straight

away, but i have been crocheting more just lately

and had not got round to opening it.
Then it got buried under some papers,
and forgotten about ..oops  well

you get the picture.

I have used these fab papers from Raspberry Road

from the Wild Strawberry set.

I used my new Marianne creatables die

to make a jam pot cover, though i'm not happy

about where i have put the sentiment, 

it makes the red check paper look lopsided, i only

noticed it when i took the picture's after 

and i couldn't be bothered to start again.

I coloured the image with Polychromos pencils.

Sentiment is from LOTV,  and i have used 

a Martha Stewart Heart border punch.

Well thanks for looking ,i'm off to have 

some lunch then it's back into the garden i have 

a mountain of soil to spread out ready for grassing.
