Totally Gorjuss Challenge 25 - Texture - DT


Today I have my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. This week's challenge is to use texture on your card. Now I struggled with this for a while as all I could think to use was embossing and as I still need to buy a die cutting machine I had no way of doing that so in the end I used some very touchy feely lace and ribbon for my texture. I have used one of my favourite Gorjuss Girls, I always find this one a joy to colour and I love the little birdy, so cute! I hope you can join us this week as we love to visit you all and see all your fab creations.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 23 - Hearts - DT


Good morning, hope everyone is ok and looking forward to Easter. I am sorry for my lack of posts but Blogger has not been my friend of late and has refused to upload my piccies but he seems ok today. Thank you to everyone who asked about Ben, I took him to the doctors and he has a chest infection and is on antibiotics and seems to be getting much better now, at least he has a couple of weeks off school to recover. Last Saturday was a new challenge over on Totally Gorjuss and this week's challenge is to use hearts. I have used one of my favourite Gorjuss Girls as she has little hearts all over her dress, I think she was the first Gorjuss Girl I bought. Hop over to the blog to see all the other girlies cards and to join in the fun!

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 18 - DT - Flower Power

Good evening, hope you are all having a great weekend. We are in the middle of doing up our bathroom at the minute, well I say 'we' it is more my husband with me overseeing. We have been in the house 3 years and the bathroom was awful, all blue and white tiles with shells and things on but the saving grace was the bath suite itself was white and perfect so we don't need to change that. We pulled all the tiles off and last week filled in lots of holes and my hubbie today bless him has sanded down all the walls and they are pretty good now but he was covered from head to toe in dust afterwards ...lol! Anyway the fun begins now as it is paint time and I have chosen some gorgeous mosiac glass tiles for around the edge of the bath and over the sink - couldn't afford to do the whole room at £50 a pack !!! but I love them so it will be worth it. New taps and accessories are all on my list and hopefully by the end of April we will be done ... have to get a bit each month but it will be worth the wait, I am very excited about the whole thing, can you tell !! Anyway enough of my babbling and onto a new challenge over at Totally Gorjuss, Net chose 'flower power' as the theme this week so it was perfect for me as I love my flowers and I couldn't resist paper piecing her dress. Hop over to the blog to see all the other ladies gorgeous cards and to join in the fun.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge DT - Paper Piecing


Good morning. Today I have my DT card for Totally Gorjuss, it is a day late I am afraid as we were out all day yesterday and I didn't get chance to post it. This week's challenge is paper piecing and I really enjoyed this one. I don't often do this technique but I am going to from now on as it creates a lovely effect. Hop over to the blog to see all the other DT's creations and join in the fun.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge DT - Dimension


Hello, hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend so far. Today is another challenge over on Totally Gorjuss and this weeks challenge is 'Dimension'. I don't normally add dimension to a card, I suppose I don't have the patience for all the cutting out and layering but I have to admit I enjoyed making this card. I have used one of my favourite Gorjuss Girls and layered her dress for the dimension, the pictures are not great I am afraid. I have been trying for a few days now to get a better one but it has been so dull and grey it hasn't happened, I think I need a daylight lamp - must drop hints to the hubbie as it is my birthday in March. LOL! Anyway hop over to the blog to see all the other girls fantastic cards and to join in the fun!

Have a great weekend.
