I really am very bad at this blogging I get so into my crafting that I really don't have any time to blog about what i have made. Hopefully over the next few days with it being Christmas i will have more time to show you all what I have been making.

I've had these tigger stickers for so long and i found them the other when i was tiding up. I love using the colour orange at the mo, unsure why as i usually hate that colour!

2008-07-20T20:55:00.000+01:00

Long Time No See

2008-07-09T20:27:00.000+01:00

Just Bex- Challenge1- A Few Of My Favourite Things

2008-05-17T20:03:00.000+01:00

Did this a while ago only just got around to blogging it. I don't like how it turned out but its growing on me

I'm On A Roll!

2008-05-14T17:23:00.000+01:00

I'm on a roll, its because I'm crafting to calm me down for my exam which I have tomorrow! so I'm using it to give me a break. So I've been using the challenges over on the Just Bex forum which this week is the big challenge week. The first card i made was for Challenge 9-A hole Lotta fun! which was making a card with holes in it, its so simple but i think it gives a great card!

The next card which i made was for Challenge 2-Papermania, which was to use 3 different patterned papers, i used 3 for the traffic lights but two are from the same piece of the paper and the other one was my doodlebug leftover paper which is obvious. Again i got out my papernation decoupage which i haven't used before.

Just Bex- Challenge 8-Colours Of The Rainbow

2008-05-13T15:13:00.000+01:00

For this challenge you had to use the colours if the rainbow, so i decided to go for a child's card. I got out my Papernation decoupage out. From the picture you can't really tell but the dinosaur is green, i coloured in the tail bits yellow which again hasn't come up in the picture. The paper in which i used is Basic Grey but I'm not sure, just using my stash again! The happy birthday is a Pebbles Inc Rub on which i just love them!

Just Bex- Challenge 4- Take One Envelope

2008-05-13T10:01:00.000+01:00

The challenge was to make a bag out of a A4or A5 envelope, well it took me about 3 attempts. Lucky I had brought a few to have a play with! I also trimmed the top to make the bag not so long looking. I plan to make a matching card to go with it, to give to my mum for her birthday which is approaching fast. The paper in which i used was the papermania.

Haven't blogged in a while?

2008-05-12T18:31:00.000+01:00

I had promised myself that i would blog everyday! well! as you can see i haven't really made the effort, but i have still been crafting away. A break from making all the 18Th thank you cards i made a happy birthday card to fill up my stash of cards and again use some of it up. I used some paper which i get free with a crafting mag.

Raining Flowers

2008-04-29T12:36:00.000+01:00

I used the raining flowers Penny Black stamp and the paper was free with a magazine. I watercoloured the image.

Emm Another Thank You Card

2008-04-24T17:28:00.000+01:00

This is another thank you card, i used my magnolias and the paper is free papers from a magazine, but can't the remember the name! i like this card i found it really refreshing and summery!

Flowery Magnolias

2008-04-22T17:26:00.000+01:00

This is a thank you card which i made to say thank you for all the presents i received for my birthday, again I'm trying to use up my never ending stash, but i like the challenge of trying to use it all up!

Glittery Fishies

2008-04-20T11:24:00.000+01:00

This was a commission card, they asked for fishing so i fished out my papernation decoupage. I know its a very simple card but i really like how it turned out. I got out my stickles and added glitter to the fish, you can't see in the picture.

CupCakes

2008-04-19T11:52:00.000+01:00

OMG!! i haven't blogged in nearly 2 months!

Well anyway I've still been crafting really trying to use up all this stash but some how it isn't going down? Anyway this card i made trying to use up my doodlebug love/cupcake stickers. Also i used my pebbles rub on, i just love these i need to get some more i think!

Just Bex-Big Challenge 3- A recipe

2008-02-24T20:57:00.000Z

I only choose to make a Easter card as it was the only paper which i had that all coordinated and plus i had the buttons out already (the rabbit) from doing the last challenge.

Just Bex-Big Challenge 7- Tart it up

2008-02-19T18:35:00.000Z

For this challenge i decidied to tart up my box which i put my stamps in. Again i got my papermania spring paper pack out

Just Bex-Big Challenge 1- A template

2008-02-19T18:19:00.000Z

This picture is really bad, i did thought i took it straight but i didn't obviously. It didn't help when i flipped it either. I decided to do a easter card as it is quickly appoaching and i have no cards, so i got out my new papermania paper pack which has been very unused since i got it, and i got out my easter buttons which i have had since last easter and never got round to using them.

Just Bex-Big Challenge 6- Black and white .....

2008-02-19T10:12:00.001Z

For this challenge you had to make a card or layout using just black and white and one other colour.

So the other colour which i used was silver. I stamped the flowers on the black background and white embossed them white and then went around them in silver.

Just bex- Big Challenge 2- Monocrome Madness

2008-02-17T14:57:00.000Z

I am so determined to do all the Just Bex Challenges this week for the big challenge. Also i have such a huge pile to scrapbook pictures that its about time that i started working my way through them so to start with i did a scrapbook page. For this challenge you had to use only one colour but you could use different shades of it. I choose to use pink on both my scrapbook layout and the card.

Just Bex- January Challenge 10- It got an edge

2008-01-31T22:36:00.000Z

I love using scallops at the moment and this was the challenge so couldn't wait to get started ,usually cards take me hours this one only took me 15 minutes!

Just Bex- January Challenge 8- Cardlift

2008-01-28T17:52:00.000Z

i did a massive clear out this afternoon of my craft box in which i always throw things into and found this stamped images and this leftover paper. So instead of throwing it in the bin i made a card out of it.

Just Bex- 25th January Challenge- Painting

2008-01-27T20:39:00.000Z

I didn't read the rules very well, as i have just noticed they said either a layout or a card oops. I altered a notepad (i really love doing these at the moment). Well anyway i found these notepads in Woolworth's for only 14p! so i had it alter it I'm really trying to use up my ever growing craft stash!. I used a heidihi chipboard butterfly i painted with my acrylic paint and then i added some stickles all over to create a polka dot effect with pink, gold and white glitter.

Just Bex- January Challenge 5- Ribbon Galore

2008-01-18T19:29:00.000Z

It really took some doing using up my ribbon. I have personalised my cheerleading notebook, i used the colours of my squad for the ribbon. i also used my new papermania paper which i couldn't resist from my local craft store.

Just Bex- January Challenge 3- First Template of 2008!

2008-01-13T21:21:00.000Z

I love using templates, and i just love the templates set by Sue on the Just bex site. I used a Magnolia stamp sent to me generously by Melanie also a member of Just bex site. She sent me so many and i have nearly water coloured all of them they are so addictive and they turn out so beautifully. I made this card for a girl I work with as it's her birthday in February.

Also this week i had a delivery of some wonderful Penny Black stamp they are some of the newest ones out and could not resist. Haven't used them yet as i have been water colouring the Magnolias! May be if i get some time this week i will stamp them and colour them!

Over Christmas i have been extremely busy crafty. It must be all my new stash which has now extremely overgrown my craft area. Anyway i made a stationary set for 4 female members of my family. I used Papermania paper to cover the front along with stickles glitter glue and Heidi hi buttons. I am really pleased in the way in which they turned out.

Just Bex- October Challenge 3- Old and New

2007-10-22T14:21:00.000+01:00

For this challenge you had to make 2 cards one with old paper and the other with new paper. So got out my new papermania paper which i brought 2 weeks ago and haven't had time to play with it, with it i made a birthday card for a close friend at college as it's her birthday in a week ( the one with the girl on it). The older paper i don't even though the name of the paper because it was left over from ages ago and just made the card with a Penny Black Stamp and left it blank to put a message in it at a later date! Sorry for the really bad picture, but my camera's dead so had to scan them.

Hopefully this works as since yesterday blogspot hasn't been

working!
