Summer time fun

Hi guys, just popping by with a card i've been making here and there, as you know were helping Kay to get her house sorted, it needed a few more jobs doing than we thought so I've been helping with that or looking after Tegan instead, however i just couldn't resist making this display just for fun!

I've used the fab new house template 470 713 510 made by Dutch Doobadoo as a beach hut this time, if you wish to see the house one i made please scroll down,

I used some wood effect paper to make the hut adding 3D foam pads on the door panels to add depth and on the top of the roof too,

Tilda and Edwin are coloured with my distress re-inkers and have been fussy cut out then layered onto the display with foam pads (Tilda) and acetate Edwin,

The kraft sprocket from DD I used as a nautical type embellishment on the top,

to give the sea effect I added some shells, and seaweed type dies on top of some cheesecloth, the waves were made using a on the edge die,

Closer view of Tilda and beach effect, the fence is a Doo hickey lovely fence die and I have added vintage photo to give an a weathered look,

the waves have a hint of crackle paint on them,

Edwin has dots of liquid pearl on the star fish and the flag die is by La La Land crafts,

Time for a break

Hi guys, I thought I'd pop by today with a creation I've made using one of the latest products from Dutch Doobadoo,

This is ome of a pack of four apron shapes made out of MDF code Mini Album 460440060 that you get in the pack,

I have so loved making this and have used some of the new Maja design coffee in the Arbour design papers, I made a pocket shape using one of them and added the gorgeous paper art border on top again from DD,
code 472948020

The adorable flowers are a mixture from Sweet Lilac and ones from my stash and I have used some of  the gorgeous pearl string available at Live and Love crafts, i cut down a hint of a doily to peek behind too,

The clock is again from another Maja design paper Vintage Autumn Basics XVI and is again from Live and Love crafts as is the seam binding I've used for the ties,

 I've also used the  fabby paper art kraft kitchenware again from DD 479002004 of course to give the kitchen feel to the project this time!!! some I raised up with 3D glue to give depth to the project,

To finish it off I added a tag from the paper pad and some of the delicate paper art butterflies 472948007 so love these and use them nearly all the time,

I have a few ideas running through my head for the three other aprons too, I just need the time!!!! lol

talking of which, Kay is nearly getting her house hopefully!! she should have got the keys today but it looks like she may not now, when she does get them we are helping out with a bit of decorating etc so I may be here and there a while, but i should soon have my craft room back!!!!

trying to craft on a smallish table in your bedroom for eight months and having to move everything to do one thing then move it again to do another has driven me mad!!!! lol

so anyway enough of my rambling!!, hope you like what I've created, thanks so much for your continued visits I so try to get back to you but with Tegan here 24/7 and she shouts Nanna where are you and looks so adorable I just can't resist her!!!!!

Happy Crafting1

Welcome to your new home

Hi guys, I'm back today with our latest challenge for we do doobadoo which is 

pins and pearls,

I've made this display for my Daughter and her hubby who are moving into their new home soon, we will be helping them with a few jobs which need doing first like painting and decorating etc so I made their card now lol,

As you know Kay's not into overly fussy or fancy so I've tried to keep it fussy free well for me at least!!!

Some of the DD products were in my latest DT package and were fab timing for what i needed to make,

I cut the house shape out of card stock and Maja Design paper from Live and love crafts then using another of the DD templates adapted the window and the door, I used the window template but left a border round, I didn't want a perfect look to the border so it kept in with the shabby chic theme, I stained the frame with distress ink here and there and add acetate behind with a small piece of another Maja design paper behind that,

the brick effect is made with a new soft board as is the roof design, all links below,

Closer view of soft board and window, to finish off the roof and to add some pearl detail I added a couple of paper art butterfly and a pearl flourish for their tails,

At the bottom of the display is one of the new paper art fences  and in front are a couple of the paper art flowers, as you can see there are a couple of pearls on here too,  the tree is a la la la crafts die and i added pearls on this also for blossom, 

the DD paper art keys I slightly edged with distress ink in vintage photo,

For the front garden of the house I used a  DD brick stencil with grunge paste for texture and detail, I should have heat dried this as it made my card  base wobble lol,

here too you can see the pins  I got from Live and Love crafts,used with my flowers from Sweet Lilac, Tilda with Ice and on the road Tilda are coloured with my copics then fussy cut out,  too these I have then added a strip or two of acetate behind to make them stand up,

Closer view of brick stencil,
