Some great fun to help charity!!

Isobel goes to Jackie's workshops every month too & every year Isobel sells tickets for Breast Cancer Research but Isobel doesn't just sell the tickets, she comes up with fun ways of doing it while making sure there is something in it for everyone!! Last year was a raffle but this year was much more fun! We got to play bingo & it was a great giggle as Isobel called the numbers but put her own crafty spin on the number calling anyhow there was a prize for a line & then one for full house & even though I didn't win :( lol I still came away with a gift from Isobel!!

Look at what ALL of the crafters who were at Jackie's workshop came away with from the very very generous Isobel!!

A goodie bag packed so full that I couldn't get it all back in the bag!

Then there was this little bag full of punched out leaves, ferns, flowers & butterflies that Isobel gave out to everyone at the workshop!

The plus side to all of Isobels amazing generosity is that she raised €150 for Breast Cancer Research!!

Jackie Mooney's August 21st Workshop

I am very late posting about this workshop but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it any less than I normally do!

Once again Jackie didn't disappoint with the 6 fabulous cards she had come up with for us to do!!!

Here are the gorgeous creations!

I love gorjuss girl stamps & this one was such a cutie!!

This one is different to how Jackie done it but that is because I made a mistake & had to compromise. You can see how it should look here on Jackie's blog.

The papers on this were gorgeous.

Again I was too busy chit chatting & not listening to the teacher lol so I had to compromise again! You can see the way it should have looked on Jackie's blog.

A great card for a man & I always struggle with male themed cards but not with Jackie about I don't!!

A very luxurious card this one was! Jackie is enjoying playing with her Cricut which means we get fabby new projects every month now!!

This was my fave (& probably everyone else who was there) because of those teenie tiny pencils made from cocktail sticks!! Isn't that just the best idea ever & then there is that Sassy Cheryl image that is just too cute!!

Looking forward to the September workshop now!!!

Wedding LO

I've been wanting to get into scrap booking more & decided when I was out in my craft room today to try get another LO done!

The flowers were made using a mix of crepe paper, tulle & just plain white paper!!

I used my heat gun again to melt the black ribbon!

I love the effect this gives.

The "Mr & Mrs" & the flourishes were again cut using my eCraft!!

LOTV Christening Card

This was a card for an order. I just love this LOTV stamp.

The flourishes were cut using my eCraft & all the pink card was glittered using the Crafters Companion Glitter Spray. The image was coloured using ProMarkers.

These are the combos I used

Mulberry, Fushia & Blossom

Blush & Soft Peach

Forest Green & Pear Green

Arctic Blue & Powder Blue

Gold & Canary.

Button Cards

So my crafty friend Ang who is part of the facebook group that I'm in set a challenge for a card swap this month & it was a brilliant challenge!

We had to use buttons as the main focus of the card so no using as embellishments.

Ang posted this link to give us some inspiration & I love the technique.

This is what I came up with.

I used my eCraft & MTC to cut out the circles & rings to make the giant button.

I tore paper to make the "hills" & used ProMarkers to colour the sky & add some birds. I stamped the sentiment which is a from a Hero Arts set in Distress ink & added some Glamour Dust to the tops of the hills!!

I made a second card for the challenge because I was out in my craft room making a card for an order & had a brain wave!

this is what I came up with

The buttons are handmade again!

I used my heat tool to melt the organza ribbon, it looks fantastic. I got the idea from here. This lady will be teaching at the GBCE which I will be going to on the 30th of September & I CAN'T WAIT!!!
