And now let’s start the fun blog hop!!! If you came from Paulina's blog you’re on the right track! If you just happened to visit my blog, please CLICK HERE to start from the beginning.

Here is my project for the Blog Hop!!!!!!

I created a circus tent card and co-ordinating gift bag from a recycled bag that I just love the colours of.

For the card I painted Circus Rain Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added Stardust Stickles to her umbrella.

I used the gorgeous Sakura Lanterns Doohickey die to decorate the circus tent and the Lovely Lace Doohickey along the top of the opening.

I used the pennant from the Flag and Cloud Doohickey set to complete the circus tent.

I added some pink twine and 10mm roses from my stash to the top of the tent.

I used the Lovely Lace Doohickey again to create the circus ring at the bottom of the card.

On the recycled gift bag I used my favourite stamp from the Le Cirque Collection, Clown Tilda Dress, again painted with Distress Inks, and added Stardust Stickles to her skirt, ribbons and the heart she's holding.

I hope you have enjoyed visiting me today.

CD Card

 Good morning!  Today I'd like to share with you a fun card I have created using the Doohickey dies from Volume 19 - Music.  I made it for my brother's birthday but it would work equally well for a teenager I think.  I have used acetate and silver cardstock to create the CD background, drawing round an actual CD to get the correct size.  I used Spellbinder circle dies for the centre holes.

 I cut the tape player in silver, black and orange and then used different elements from each colour to create the tape player.

I have used the two star Doohickey dies in several colours on the card.

I have also used the vinyl record and musical note Doohickey dies.  The paper strip with stars on is from a Maja Design paper and the ribbon is from my stash.

I have added the die cuts on different thicknesses of foam pads to add lots of interesting dimension to the card.

Here's a side view showing the inside of the card which I covered in co-ordinating blue paper as it is visible through the hole in the CD from the front.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

May The Force Be With You!

 Good evening!  I am back after a little break with my latest card for Craft Heaven using the super cute stamps from the Galaxy Collection and paper from Maja Design.

My little nephew loves Star Wars so these two were perfect to use on his card.  The Maja Design paper was perfect for a 'starry sky'!  As always, I've painted the images with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have also added Glossy Accents to the droid, lightsabre and Tilda's boots.

I also used the moon stamp from the Galaxy Collection, stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink and shaded with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I've added some lustre with a Wink of Stella pen.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x
