Autumnal feels x

Hello you lovely lot

I do hope you are well and finding your way in to the the new normal after lockdown?? We have been away which was amazing, especially after seeing only the house walls for so long! A wee trip to our favourite place and lots of little walks to build up my strength again ....... just bliss

I even had some fun with my camera and caught these two shots! So pleased with myself

The fab new John Next Door Magazine is out and I had so much fun creating some fun Autumn inspired bits including a little Pumpkin and pretty wall hanging

My wee makes this time show just what you can do with the kit and lots of card! The Pumpkin is an SVG file from SVGCUTs but I have created a templates to help you make the other pieces!

a little 3D frame makes a great gift and card in one for someone Special

and the Wall Hanging could be changed to match any season with different colour ways

You can find your copy here and more inspiration from the Design Team and John too! Also there is sneak peeks of some of his new range and competitions too. Plenty step by steps to help you make some of the pieces including the little frame I made

Take care everyone and stay safe

Altenew Box Magazine xx

Afternoon you lovely lot

Are you all well, staying safe? I can't believe this craziness is still going on but at least we are trying to make the best of it

I've been taking time to get the last of my work done, make some cards to add to my own stash and also play with my Nintendo Switch Lite! Yes I treated myself to a switch and Animal Crossing with mu Christmas and Birthday vouchers I was hoarding for some strange reason lol. So now I'm happily created my own wee world while the real one is mad!!

Today I wanted to share a littler something I was so so so pleased with and can't believe how they came out! What am I talking about???? 

YES!! 

Its the fabulous Altenew Special Box Magazine

I was lucky to be asked to create some pieces to go along with the kit that comes with the magazine and the only brief was Wedding!

So as you know that's sooooo me! Not only that, I had my brothers invites on my desk so added their names fro the 'couple'! Sadly my brother and Jamielee to change their Wedding to next year so seeing their wee names in print sorta helps lol 

look at the group photo!! Just makes me so happy to see those makes look so fab

the main Invite, I used the layer stamps but only the first layer and coloured with my pens then added a printed vellum overlay! Makes it look soft but the copper makes it all pop!

I also made a cute little favour box and again used the stamps but this time layered them to create the perfect Altenew floral flower to decorate the box

You'll have to see the magazine for yourself to see all the fab creations the rest of the team came up with! Plus the kit is AMAMZING! that stamp set alone I'd buy it for hehehehe

Apart from working on some fun pieces I've still been keeping up with our wee Challenge Facebook group, have you checked it out yet??

Its great for getting you to use up your old stash and see what other have been doing. Its bad tho for reminding you what you might have in your stash that you've forgot hehehehe

Here's what I made for the All at Sea Challenge last week

the wool was odds and ends from other projects and the pattern a very old magazine one! So Its not just paper crafts! Why not join in?? This week is Anything Goes and we can't wait to see what you've been making!

Well, until next time
