An announcement…….

I am so pleased to finally be able to share with you my new Design Team placement, I applied to join ArtiCrafts by Rebecca and was thrilled to bits when I found out I had been chosen to join her team.

My first challenge was to design a teapot from one of Rebecca’s cutting templates and after thinking about it for a while I thought that I would combine it with my love for Alice in Wonderland and here is what I came up with.

tea layout

Please pop over and visit Rebecca’s blog and have a browse in her shop, you will definitely find lots to chose from and if you cant choose buy them all lol!

I am looking forward to showing you more designs from Rebecca’s Challenges.

Simple and Elegant

I was rummaging in a recycling shop yesterday and bought some punchinello ribbon and ran it through my Big Shot and really like the effect I got so I teamed that up with some sentiment toppers I had from Hunkydory and I really like the simple, elegant effect these gave to my cards.
