Mum's the Word

Good morning,

It's Friday again which means it's time for our next challenge over at Polkadoodles, but first some news about Nikky's latest collection. We have a brand new CD available which includes a set of ten adorable themed 'Work & Play' characters for only £8.99 - click HERE for more information.

And for the next two weeks our new theme is

'MUM'S THE WORD'

We would love to see your projects especially for 'Mum' - will it be a Mother's Day card, a birthday card or just a little something special - the choice is yours. Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

I made a little word book using the template from the 'Candy Doodles CD'. I covered it in pretty papers from the 'Cherryblossom Lane CD' and then added lots of extra embellishments, also from the same CD. These make great gifts and you can add some little photos inside as a surprise element.

Hope you can join us this time.

Hugz, Jan xx

Autumn

Hi there crafters,

It's Friday challenge time over at the Polkadoodles challenge blog and this week's theme is 'AUTUMN'.

I love the colour palette that this week's challenge offers and decided to make a word book for my DT project using the letters and template from the 'Candy Doodles' CD.

Here's four easy steps to make your own word book:

Step One:  

Print out your chosen papers (details of where to find mine below):

Brown polkadot - Picknix 2 'Gingerbread Twist'

Red polkadot - Pen & Paper Circle 3

Orange crosses - Sugar Birdies

Brown circles - Paper Boutique Vol 1

Step Two:  

Cover your letters and template with chosen papers 

and cut around the letters.

Step Three:  

Align the letters and trim all pieces to the same length, 

punch and secure with your chosen fastening.

Step Four:  

Embellish to your hearts content!  

All my embellishments are printed from the 'Sundae of Seasons' CD.  

A couple of ribbon ties, some bling and the little 'FUN' pennants 

are from my stash.

Hope you like my project this week - don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog for some more great inspiration from my fab teamies.  I shall look forward to seeing your entries.

Hugz, Jan xx
