I made the roses using two different sizes of cheery lynn Tea roses die. they are so easy to cut and stick together. I love them.

 

the single rose stamp was a gift from my friend and fellow DT member Sarah Swire but it doesn't have a name on the wooden block so I can't tell you who makes it.

 

the frame is a Marianne Die CR1241

I love this image!

I've had this stamp a long time now but I still love her.

they were posted out to me very quickly and will definiately buy from them again. I love their stamps.

 

the feathers were cut using some parchment type paper and the die was free with Simply cards and Papercraft magazine this month.

Homemade magazine has the matching stamp set so I'm tempted to buy that aswell.

New Years Resolution..... January = Check

 

Hello crafters,

 

I'm here with my January project today. Some of my docraft refugee buddies will already know that my New year resolution is to try at least one Pinterest project each month for 2015.

I keep saving all the amazing things I see but spend so much time looking at things and not actually making anything so that is going to change.

 

hmmm do I sound confident?

 

so.... its January 18th and I've tried a slimming world recipe and they was amazing!

I've added that to my January pin board if anyone wants to try it, trust me, it was yummy, even my husband loved it!

 

hmmm but recipes are not really crafting are they so I thought I'd find something better and as Pickle had inspired me to learn to crochet I thought that would be a good first project.

as I said though, im a total beginner so I cant make amazing things yet and decided a scarf would be a good starting point.

 

I searched pinterst (for more hours than I want to admit to) and found a Puff stitch scarf. perfec!

 

I did two rows twice and undid them but on the third attempt something in my pea brain clicked and I was off......

 

its so puffy and soft, I love it!

MY FIRST OFFICIAL CROCHET SCARF.

 

giving myself a pat on the back here. LOL

HERE is the original pin and free pattern. its so easy to follow.

 

If anyone would like to join me in the Pinterest Per Month challenge please comment and let us know where we can see your projects.

 

My good friend Margaret has finished her January project aswell so I really hope you pop over to her blog and check it out. what an amazingly talented lady she is.

 

awww I'm excited about February now.... hmmm what shall I make?

you will have to pop back and find out.

 

thank you for any comments you may wish to learn and we would really love to have you join us and show us what you are making this month.

 

happy crafting,

hugs Suzanne2

Happy new Year!!!

 

wow 2014 flew by didn't it.

 

so here we are in 2015 and our first challenge this year at creative inspirations is to use a ribbon

 

simple aye?

 

of course it is. here is my card...

 

 

I chose organza ribbon for this card and worked round that adding the Impression Obsession heart sticks, I just love that die.

 

I stamped and embossed some vellum which looks nicer in real life.

 

I've also added lots of stickles and some pearls.

 

I hope you will join in our challenge this week at Creative Inspirations

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all make, that's the best part of being on the DT.
