As a beginner I'm still trying to find my creative style.  I know it's simple and not fussy like the card above.  I'm trying to step outside my comfort zone and be more daring.  I like decoupage and have stepped into stamping and colouring which for me is a real challenge so I've been involved in a Fat Page group  which is making me try new things.

Spring Fat Page - Stamping & Colouring

Steampunk Fat Page - Distressing & Embossing

It's nice to see the end result when I try something new. x

BLOG PROMPT NO 3 - Shabby Chic Florals

Today's blog prompt was to make a card using a download from the Docrafts site.  My choice was the 'Shabby Chic Florals'.  I chose this because I like the colour purple and I wanted a simple but striking image.

I hope you like it.

5 reason Why You Should Craft

Hello Crafters,  What a glorious day it's been. .  I have always done some form of crafting - sewing - making bridal and evening wear, and now card making  Let me tell you 5 reasons why should craft

1. It's relaxing - i started while I was off sick from work and came across Create & Craft and it stopped me from going mad during those 3 months.

2. It's lovely to see the suprise when a recipent relises you made the card.

3. I refuse to pay shop prices when I can do it my self!

4. I'm learning new skills stamping, quilling.  I love to see the finished result of a card that I wasn't too sure where it was going.

5. Crafters are FABULOUS people,  Which was confirmed when I went to Hayling Island.

Come on give it a go - you know it makes sense. x
