Show Us Some Love Challenge Number 3 - Open-Minded Crafting Fun

Morning All

Don't know where the time has gone already in February and the theme this week at Open-Minded Crafting Fun is of course Show us some love

We have lots of sponsors for you this fortnight and they are as follows:

Inky Impressions

Fantasy Stampers Challenge #3 Love and Cherish

Wow we are on Challenge number 3 already at Fantasy Stampers now ladies/gents here is a quick rule that some peeps are forgetting this is a Stamp Challenge that means no digi images at all, OK that's over lets get on to the challenge

We were set the theme of Love and Cherish, well that's hard for me as I don't do love and Cherish very well, so I found this particular challenge theme rather difficult as my hubby is the same no romance between us so as we have a couple of weddings coming up in the family soon, I decided I would make a wedding card and of course had to use my LOTV stamps for this one too.  So here is what I came up with

I used papermania capsule backing papers, prisma flowers and ribbon and gems from stash as said above stamp is from LOTV coloured in with PrismaPencils and used the online image as a guide to colour as I am useless at picking my own. lol.

We hope you will come and join in with us and you never know your name may be picked as the winner.

Lots of Love Alison xxx

Morning

Good Morning to everybody

Feeling a bit better again today, although still achy but at least the headache as gone.  I have another candle to showcase today which I made this morning before having breakfast.  

I ordered a lovely stamp from LOTV yesterday so hoping it will arrive soon so I can have a play with it for my DT card with Fantasy Stampers.  The Lovely Annie made me a watermark for my cards and have had a play with it this morning and it is beautiful.  A BIG THANK YOU Annie.  

Well here is my candle had a lot of trouble with this mould as it comes in two halves and when I put it together I noticed that one side does not quite seal and it leaks fixed it for now by putting some blue tac to form a seal and am going to contact the company to see if I can exchange it.

Sorry about the poor picture quality but the light in here is not very good today.

and

Here is a little thank you card for the Soap Kitchen who have helped me sort my recipe out for my soap which went horribly wrong when I bought new moulds, have used the watermark that Annie designed for me I just love it.

Well am off to do a bit of blog hopping then I need to go the shop to get fresh veg for tonight's dinner.

Love Alison 

Afternoon All its not raining yippee

Afternoon all

I tried to get caught up with everybody's post yesterday but just could not sit at the computer long enough to catch up so will do that today as I am feeling slightly better today thank goodness still have a headache though.  I am typing this while on the phone  (holding) trying to get someone out to rod the drain that the shower water goes into as its full of silt, well they have made a tentative appointment for this afternoon so just have to wait and see if they turn up.

I  have been on another candle making spree with another new mould that arrived yesterday and have to say I am delighted with how this candle has turned out.  Used White Musk as a perfume as I love the smell of it and I always keep the first candle I make with each mould as a sample to show people at craft fairs etc.

So what do you think?

Well am off to catch up with everybody's wonderful creations and also do some long awaited DT Work.

Morning All

Hi Everybody

Just a quick post today as I am not feeling too good again, I will not give in to this crazy Fibromyalgia but today I am listening to my body, really tired, headache and very lethargic achy and just generally feeling unwell.  Hate it, Hate it!

Today's make for you is a beaded bookmark, needless to say that this will the only thing beaded I will ever make as my poor fingers and wrists afterwards ached for days, but I did enjoy making it at the time, even though a few curse words were flying around lol.

Am off to do a bit of blog hopping now, to catch up with everyone and then I need to make a thank you card for the staff at the Soap Kitchen who have been so helpful in answering questions regarding the change in my soap as I have bought new moulds.

Bye for now

Afternoon Everybody

Hello, its been a dry day here today on Dartmoor or at least for the afternoon it has.  Alan had the day off work today as I had to go for a medical for DWP, just waiting for report now.

Sarah put some ice in the freezer last night and I had heard of Ice candles but never tried to make one before so as I was making a candle for a friend I decided to have a play, these candles are very fragile and so will not be travelling any great distances as I could not guarantee that they would arrive in one bit.  But they do look lovely, this one is scented with Heliotrope and smells gorgeous.

Sorry about the picture its a little dark but you can see the holes in the candle this is where the ice was think they look beautiful.  Well I finally caught up with my DT blogs and my own blogging last night and am off in a sec to see all your wonderful creations since I turned the computer off about 11.30pm.

Alan took Bella out for a long run through the woods earlier this afternoon and when they got back they both got in the shower together both full of mud, poor old Bella looked like a drowned rat lol.

Well am off to look at your wonderful creations.  

Bye for now Alison
