Spooky days are here again!

Hi all.
Yes, it's Halloween 🦇 today.
The day for all witches and warlocks to dress up and pretend they're children collecting sweets at your front door. Don't trust em I tell ya!!! They're 😈 evil!
Especially the really cute ones who usually have a front tooth missing 😂😂😂
MUAHAHAHA!

OK, so I've lost the plot.... Again!

Back to business -

Here's my Halloween card which features my hand drawn and fussy cut tree branch with Tattered Lace skulls dangling from it.


Hope you like! 😊
Have a scarily fun Halloween 🦇

Snowglobes are fun!

Hi all!
Just letting everyone know that my new post on the Luv Crafts blog is up today and I featured this uber lovely snow globe!

Don't forget to share your makes with us as the DT always love to see what you've been creating too.

Luv Crafts update!

Hi all!
I completely forgot to post the photos of my projects which I made for the Luv Crafts show last week.
I did put a sneaky peek on my original blog post but not the full pictures.
Here's the Mdf Bauble tree which I painted black and silver :-
The next one is a snow globe and I've decorated it with Studio Light paper collections, front and back.

The final item is the Mdf sleigh which, sadly, I didn't have time to make for the show but I've finished it this week and it's quite cute! Painted with Luv Crafts puff paste, shimmer magic and viva decor chalky paints. 

That's all for today folks. 
I'm off for a busy day as today is my birthday 🎂 and I'm going to eat lots of goodies lots of times! What else can a...?? year old do  🤣🤣🤣

2 Published pieces!

Hi all!
So, my subscription mags arrived this morning and I'm happily in both of them!
In Papercraft Inspirations (issue 184 December 2018) this months theme is Gatefold cards and my card, along with 2 others by the Reader Tester Team, is featured and it just shows how much fun you can have by playing with different card folds from time to time. Stepping out of the old comfort zone and spicing things up can be fun! LMHO!

coloured





At the same time, I sent a little card to Creative Stamping Magazine (issue 63) and this is also published on page 9! I used a paper pack by Kaisercraft (Holly Jolly) and an altenew santa stamp, both from 2017! I think it turned out quite lovely :)



I created the background using a stamp by Chloe Endean with embossing powder and distress ink over the top :)

Now, don't forget to tune in to Hochanda TV on Monday 8th October (4pm) to watch our JO from Luv Crafts bringing you some lovely MDF Christmas goodies to play with! There's only 1 hour to grab the best bargains around and you can enter this fab competition too!

Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Exhausted!

Hi all!
Well, as the OH had his op (previous post) and came home on Saturday (3 days early for being a good patient!), I have been running around a little like the proverbial headless chicken trying to care for him, do the usual day to day stuff and fit some crafting in where possible! Life just seems to be one mad round of eat, sleep, headless chicken, repeat!!!
However, (!) next Monday, on Hochanda TV, the lovely Jo Luv has a LuvCrafts show and she has some fabulous MDF for you to play with .
Our DT have been busy creating some super items to share with you and I managed to chuck a couple of my own in, in-between the headless chicken routine!
I have a little sneak peek for you here to gaze at!



Tee hee!
I hope that intrigues you enough to join us on Monday 8/10 on Hochanda!
