November Pinterest Project

hi crafty friends,

 

Phew I just about made it here on time.

 

today is the day for us to show our November Pinterest project and I've ben running late on everything just lately but here it is......

 

 

I made this long stem crochet rose.

 

 

its not perfect but I'm still pleased with it.

 

it needs a couple more leaves but I wanted to get it posted so the next one with have more.

i'm not sure if I will manage a dozen roses as I get bored with the same pattern but I think 6 would look nice together.

 

Please pop over to see what Margaret has made this month by clicking here

and also visit Carollyn's blog to see her creation. i'm sure you will love them both!

 

thank you for visiting me today and I hope you like my rose.

you can find the pattern on my pinterst board called Pins and Needles.

leave me a message if you ned a link.

 

I can't believe we are now about to start December. Margaret, we almost completed our new year's resolution for 2015 and we were lucky enough to have Carollyn join us.

thank you to both of you for keeping me going.

 

hugs Suzanne xx

Dreaming of a White Christmas

 

wow we are only one month away from Christmas today.

 

so its not surprising I have a Christmas card to show you today.

 

Our theme at creative inspirations is white on white

 

 

first, I apologise for my poor photography skills. this dark weather isn't my favorite time of year.

I really need to make myself a light box.

 

my card looks nicer in real life I promise!

Ive used tim holtz brick embossing folder and a snowflake folder.

the door is a joy crafts die called home sweet home.

the wreath is made with MS branch punch.

the sentiment is crafters companion.

 

I also added a few gems.

 

I hope you will join us this week. I will visit as many blogs as I can to see your white cards.

creative inspirations challenge.

Its time for another challenge and we have a great prize up for grabs

 

find out what it is here

 

 

our theme is nice and easy this week as we would like to see your Christmas projects.

 

I have got to send a few cards to family abroad so I like to keep those ones flat for their long journey.

 

I had to add this detail photo because it amuses me how it plays tricks with my eyes...

it really looks like I've used the negative space here..... or is it just me?

Its actually the diecut ive used which shows clearing in the picture below.

 

I've used an apple blossom music note die from www.craftstash.co.uk

I love this die, it can be used for so many different occasions, I even used it with the sentiment 'just a note' get it? note.... music note?

LOL well I liked it!

 

I hope a few of you will come and join us this week and I always look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comments.
