'Groovy'

Doesn't every woman 'Love Shoes'

I sure hope you do 'cause Lisa is Hosting our

Latest Challenge over at Just Us Girls 

choosing just that as it is Word Week!
We have a new Guest Designer for September.
Welcome Linda from
http://linscraftcorner-linda.blogspot.com/
 Lovely to have you join us this month.

I just love the awesome STAMPlorations Groovy Shoes
stamp set I used here.
I heat embossed  my image in black

then adding Brusho's in Brilliant Red & Black.
on water colour paper.
I wanted something a little different - bold and dramatic
and remembered I had some brightly coloured
Gelly Plate Pulls that I had made when my friend Cheryl
came to stay a while back.
I backed my shoe with red card stock, popped it
onto a cut out piece of the gelly plate pull.
It is a shame I couldn't get the silver metallic paint
I used to show up on the photograph as it really looks fabulous.
Again I framed it with red great and onto black card base.
Added a touch of silver splatters,WOS to the shoe sole
and a girl needed some bling on that groovy shoe.
The sentiment is also from the stamp set above.

Don't forget to pop over to Our Blog to check out
more shoe inspiration from our September Guest
Linda and the Team -  come join us this week.
You could just be chosen as Chic of the Week
and then be in the running for
Guest Designer in November.

Thanks for dropping in. Love reading your comments!

Happy Birthday Wishes

Hello There Crafty Friends.

There has been a slight change over at the
Mix It Up Challenge Blog

We have decided to showcase all the
Designers Creations together
on the first of the month so - 

from now it will give you so much more inspiration to get you

running to your craft room to play.
But don't panic you still have the whole month to do so.

This month we have a new twist for our

Anything Goes Challenge - it's Inlaid Die Cuts.

Of course this is optional.

Some time ago I purchased the 

CUTplorations Trendy Spring Blooms

and the stamps as a set. This time only using 

the dies for my inlaid die cuts.

The background has been created with

 Brusho's in different colours. 

My base is coloured card stock. 

After laying myinlaid dies to the background 

I then added 2 small pieces

of striped dp the match. 

Sentiment is from SU Avant Garden and

added a few Nuvo Drops to finish.

Thanks for dropping in and don't forget

to pop over and see what the other

Mixed Up Girls created.

We'd love to see you join us this month.

It's time to get 'KRAFTY'

Hello Crafty Friends - time for another posting for

Cardz 4 Galz and it's one of my favourites

Use Kraft Card Stock.

Julie has chosen the Theme for this fortnight.

Off course my card base is KRAFT.

I also used it as a backing for my

embossed feature which is from 

Couture Creations Ambrosia. This was inked up with

Nuvo Lavender Mousse/Colour Blast Paste

Golden Olive Metallic Gilding Polish and

Apricot Inka Gold.

My sentiment is from MFT - Simply Fab Sayings

inked in Memento Teal Zeal.

The B has been highlighted with 

Nuvo Blue Glitter Gloss and adding

Nuvo Blue Lagoon Glitter drops to the side.

(trying to show you the shimmer)

Hope you will pop over to The Cardz 4 Galz Blog
