Week 314 - Satin and Lace

Good Morning Everyone,

Well it soon rolls around to another Saturday and hello to everyone that has taken the time to pop in.

I hope that you have all enjoyed a lovely week and that the weekend has lots in store.

I am really busy getting samples ready for the Christmas Tattered Lace shows on Create and Craft at the end of next week!!! really! in the first week in June!!

 

Well, back to the matter in hand today. 

Our lovely Wendy has asked the Team to make some projects using ~

 

Satin and Lace

and this is my creation for today ~

 

 

I have slightly pushed the boundaries of the title as I have used one of Joanna Sheen's gorgeous lace dies instead of actual lace (hope this is acceptable!) I have included the satin in the ribbon to neaten the edge of the lace.  We have all of her newest designs on our website letscreateartandcrafts.co.uk if you like the look of it pop onto the web and check them all out - there are some fabulous designs that need very little effort to achieve something really special.

The image is one of my favourites from Penny Black and I have used Spectrum Noir aqua markers to colour - we made this in class this week and everyone enjoyed the project.

We have 2 excellent sponsors for this weeks Challenge at Allsorts and the design team have done a stunning job as always so please pop along and take a look.
Must dash now back to Christmas!
Have a lovely weekend and please leave me a comment, you know I love to hear from you all.
Take care and hope to see you again next week,
Bye for now

Penny Black and More Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all enjoying a lovely Sunday whatever you are doing.  I am having a day off!!!  at home, not going out of the door.  I was very tempted to have a pj day but thought that might be pushing it a little too far!

I have had the absolute pleasure of being a guest on the Penny Black and More Challenge this week which is the Sister Challenge to the Allsorts and our lovely Brenda is Chief organiser of this too.  The theme for this week is 

Pink, Girly and Swirly

and this is my offering.

It looks a little paler than is real life but I think you can get the idea.  It certainly ticks the boxes required I think with the assortment of Kaisercraft background papers, the flowers and the swirly pearls.  I put the feather in for good measure just to make sure it was girlie enough as you know it isn't always my area of expertise! I just love this image such a Penny Black classic and I have coloured it with pro-markers.

The Penny Black and More Blog is gorgeous and they have some fabulous girls on the Design Team so pop along and have a peep at all the lovely designs and why not have a go too!

I notices as I was signing into the Blog that this is my 100 post! it doesn't seem five minutes since I was sweating over my first post - time certainly does fly.

I would like to thank all of you for sticking with me and hears to the next 100! 

Enjoy the rest of your day and I will be popping back tomorrow with the last few cards from the CHA Spellbinder shows.  I am starting to prepare my next show samples tomorrow, at the moment I cant share what the dies are but all I can say is ...............................  just amazing!!!!!! 

I will leave you on that note ....... sorry to be a tease but will be shot at dawn if I divulge anymore at this stage!

Bye for now

and thankyou for popping in

Jo xx
