Foiled!

The challenge on DCM this week is:

"....I would like you to utilise some plain old aluminium foil from your kitchen. You can scrunch it, die cut it, emboss it, ink it, coil it, cover chipboard - or anything else that you choose!....."

Took me a while to think up something for this one as I wanted the foil to be as subtle as possible! This is my contribution:


I started by covering the card with red Bazzill c.s. and then layered some DP from Bo Bunny. Then I added two strips of Bazzill c.s. in light blue and red to the bottom of the card, the red piece having been run through my Bigshot with the Cuttlebug circle flowers embossing folder. I stamped Tilda and her watering can and coloured with Brushables and added a little glitter dust to her wings. This was then layered onto kitchen foil and light blue Bazzill c.s. and mounted onto the card with foam pads. I then covered a slide (is that what you call them?) with more foil and ran it through my Big Shot using the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. Fixed a Pink Petticoat sentiment to the back of it. Finally, added some flowers from Poppicrafts and some blue brads from my craft box.

It's Blog Candy Time!

I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space
