2 ways with pins

****There are still spaces for this years Craft Weekend I am arranging in October click HERE for more details****

Hi everyone I have 2 creations for you today the first is a card and I have used the gorgeous stamp from the Crafts and Me Sara Burrier range called "The Leap" available HERE the I have then coloured with promarkers and added sparkle with sakura stardust pens. I have inked all the edges to give a more distressed look. I have added some ribbon (from Papermania), flowers (from Mulberry Crafts UK) and pins (from Crafty Emma's Store) to finish it off. The paper is an old one from Dovecrafts Charcoal Prints pack.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:
Card makin' Mamas - Something old (the DP is years old)
Sketches by Carly - I have used their great sketch
4 Crafty chicks - Pins
Crafty Ribbon - Love is red and black
Moving along with the times - Blooming marvelous
Paper crafting Journey - Flowers

For my second creation I have made a bag charm using a big nappy pin :D For my main image I have used the fun Hannah Lynn "Alice Lost" image. I stamped her in Hydrangea stazon (you can get different colours of Stazon HERE) Then used my heat gun to shrink it down and put it on an eye pin with some beads before attaching it to the pin. I think I will be making some more of these it is a great way to use up odd beads and charms.

I am entering this pin for the following challenges:
Cafty Catz - Things with wings (I have used a butterfly and a dragonfly charm)
Fariy fun Fridays - Anything but a card

I hope you are all having a good weekend and don't forget there is still time to join the current Crafts and Me challenge which is pink and sparkly.

Huge hugs

I am mega jealous of who ever wins this one let me tell you :D

So now you want to know what you have to do well it is nice and simple we want you to use flowers. They can be in the image you use or on the DP or can be one of the many flower dies in the Marianne D range. As long as there is a flower there somewhere and you have used a Marianne D product you will be in the running to win this lot.
The DT have done an incredible job this month with the samples for you all so make sure that you check them out and leave them some love.
For my card I have Used Marianne D creatables Mini poinsettia, Pine Tree branch and Bell and Bauble that I have used the bell die and cut it out of shrink plastic to use as a charm. I have cut the window on the card with Spellbinders labels die and then inked everything with my dreamweaver stencil brushes. The sentiment is from the Cats life press range at Crafty Emma's Store.
