Quilling challenge over at Trimmies

Hi guys,

Rozzy over at Trimmies is doing a quilling challenge. She has given us a pattern to follow just to get the feel for it. Quite a few of us said that we had quilling papers hidden in the cupboards and that we had given it a go but then put it all away. So the challenge was born. I really enjoyed doing this card and it was great to put old techniques back into practise.

Thanks for looking!

Please tell me what you think.

Well Paperlace1 as worked me ragged today on my 4th lesson in parchment and the results are above. I am gobsmacked that I have made this. I enjoyed every minute in making this project.

Left over nesties

HI guys,

Yes.......still playing with the nesties. I was looking at the outsides left over from my mad cutting session and wondered what I could do them. I didn't want any waste. So I made the below card. Nice and simple.

Flower Pot Pocket Card

Hi guys,

I found a wonderful site for the splitcoaststampers. I found the instructions for the Flower Pot Pocket card and this is my attempt. I am very happy with it and just have to make the envelope for it. I am going to give this to my future mother in law for her birthday next week.

New nesties

Well I got around to play with my new nesties and I love them. I used autumn colours which to me is different shades of browns. I did embossed the thank you with copper embossing powder. It is a simple thank you and I really like it.

Another crafting day

Hi guys,

Had another brilliant crafting day at Paperlace, Katie and Glassman's house. I had my second lesson in parchment and did some gridwork. I think the project should have taken me just over an hour but with all the chatting it turned into an all day thing. I got some new nesties which are brilliant and Paperlace played with these while I did my parchment.

Thanks for looking.

Hi guys,

There is a wonderful challenge on Crafty pad. It is a sketch and this is my offering. I did something a little bit different with cutting the fancy edge and putting paper on the inside of the card so that it showed through. I have enjoyed making this card.
