Crafty Creations - photo inspiration!

Bernie has challenged us with an inspirational photo

this week at Crafty Creations,

and what a lovely picture.

I love the wood,mirror, wreath and the fabrics

and have taken my inspiration from

them all!

I knew I had a beautiful dp that reminded me of the fabrics.

Delicious Doodles gorgeous driftwood frame

was perfect for my mirror element.

The wreath I echoed with punched leaves

and yet more teeny weeny fimo flowers.

I'm sure you will see this lovely digi stamp

by Teri often now!

Polka Doodles....Pretty Tuff.....Address book

I was so busy creating this fun Address book

using the new Polkadoodles Pretty tough cd

that I didn't manage a project

for this weeks challenge.

But It was really lovely to see it on TV

on Wednesday in Dawn Bibby's hands

while Nikki and Tracie did the show

 - hope you managed to catch it!

It was Tracie from the DT's TV debut

and she was great!

This cd is brilliant if like

me there are lots of boy's/men to create for!

I used all papers from the cd.

Hand coloured all the b&w stampies

with Promarkers, but they

all come in colour too for a quicky project!

And I used my bind-it-all

that Reubs bought me for my birthday and I do love it.

It was refreshing to have a good long crafty play!
