As promised - New goodies

Hi everyone, what awful weather we have had today eh !  Yesterday ran away with me yet again and I didn't get much crafting time again!!!!!!!! As promised yesterday please see my new goodies that I purchased at the NEC.
No where near what I would normally buy but I am pleased with my new stash.

This is what I was able to complete yesterday evening with my little bit of craft time


I used my new Inkylicious stamps, chipped sapphire distressed ink, the Inkylicious mountains and valleys dusting tool and highlighted with a little glitter glue.  Hope you like it.  Enjoy your evening

Another Christmas Card


Hi everyone, hope that life is treating you all well.  Sorry for the lack of posts recently, life has been a little hectic.  I completed this card last week, I was quite pleased with the results as I completed it in a limited amount of time.  I felt so craft starved I had to do some crafting or I felt I would combust.  I used the Inkylicious film strip - Clarity mini Christmas stamp set and an Indigo Blu Christmas sentiment.  I stamped everything in Black Momento Ink and added some Stardust glitter glue just to high light areas.

Next I would like to say a big thank you to my good friend Wendy, we had a fantastic trip to the NEC yesterday.  It was an early start and a very busy day but well worth it.  We walked our little legs off and fought our way through the crowds.  One thing I did think was a little off was the fact we had to pay £10 to park!!!!   I brought a few goodies which I will try and post a picture online a little later today.

A big thank you to Sally Holmes @ Crafty Salutations for my fantastic Blog Candy win on Saturday, I was so pleased on Monday when my package popped through the door.  Have a look at her blog (theres a link at the side).  I really want to try and do a little crafting later and try out my new goodies. Enjoy your Remembrance day everyone and thank you so much for dropping by.

Love and hugs
Tracy

Weekend Away

Hi everyone hope you are all well.  The nights are drawing in, and its getting cold outside, but we were lucky enough to have a weekend away in Norfolk last week.  We stayed in a lovely lodge on a lake so my husband and son could do some fishing and I got to do some crafting.  I started my Christmas cards.  My stash supplies were limited as car space was a problem with all their fishing gear.  This is what i managed to complete.







Hope you like my creations.  Have a good weekend, thank you for stopping by.

Last Minute Entry

Hi all, I hope that you have enjoyed your weekend! Gosh hasn't it been a wet one today.  I am sharing my entry to the Indigo Blu challenge today, and I have had a mare trying to complete it.  I had something very definite in mind and it just hasn't worked out - I have walked away from this so many times.  I hope you like it! The challenge is Things with Wings - All the stamps used are off the Grand Tour II set.  I have combined Distressed inks, chalks, Flitterglu and sequins waste to adapt my background.  Thats all for now.  Thanks for popping in Tracy xxxxx

Birthday Decorations

Hello everyone hope that this post finds you well.  I have had a busy time making birthday decorations for my daughters 21st Birthday.  I made boxes and a banner which has taken some time to complete so I thought I would share them with you.


 

I had loads to make, it was hard going but worthwhile when she said how pleased she was with them and all her friends were blown away with them.

Last but not least is a picture of the card I made her.



All that remains is for me to say sorry for not posting anything for a while, have a pleasant evening 
 and thank you for taking the time to drop by x. Take care x Tracy x

Such Great Service

Good evening hope you are all well.  I know I have told you all this before but I will say it again, I am so lucky to live next door to Bellaboo.  I placed an order online late yesterday afternoon and Kate delivered it to me yesterday night!  Such great service.  Thank you so much Kate I really appreciate it.  I was very naughty and ordered myself some more Indigo Blu stamps.  I had a little play with some of the stamps today and thought I would share them with you.


This one was created with my New Grand Tour II and I stamps and Tim Holtz faded jeans distressed inks


This one is made using Sewing Mends the Soul stamps and Tim Holtz vintage photo and tattered rose distressed inks.  This isn't a new set but I just love the stamp set.


This card is an 8x8 it uses my new Enjoy Life stamps and Tim Holtz spiced marmalade, mustard seed and black soot distressed inks and some sequin waste.  I got this set as its full of different phrases.

Hope you like them.  Thank you for stopping by.  Enjoy the rest of your evening.  Tracy xxxx

Crop Creations

Hope your weekend is going well everyone.  Today I thought I would share a few cards that I created at the Bellaboo crop on Tuesday.  They all use Tim Holtz distressed inks and my Inkdusters, Inkylicious stamps and Black card. All the cards are 6x6 sizes.



I had to add a bow on this card as I had a little ink on my fingers and marked the card.  Argggggghhhhh annoying.  


I did one like this a few weeks ago that was an 8x8 size and I used a different sentiment.  I got the idea for this one from a demo that Sally from Crafty Salutations.  I just love the fact that everytime I do this I get a very different effect.  I love Inkdusters thank you Inkylicious.  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Thank you for stopping by.
