CraftyHands #13 Travel Challenge

 Good Afternoon, i am sorry this is late going up, totally forgot to schedule for last Friday.

A new challenge started on Friday over at Craftyhands 

Sandie picked the theme for this challenge 
and it is Travel

We want to see anything that is related to Travel
Please be sure to follow our rules...Travel must be the main theme of your entry...a small token/embellishment just will not do.

Tonya has this lovely set of goodies for the prize



So here is my project





I used KraftyHands 'Man About Town' cd, this is a great cd for male cards (which i always struggle to do)

Love the colours that are in the range.

This is a 6x6 gatefold card.

Pop across to the blog and have a nosey at what the rest of the DT have made some of their makes are stunning. 


Hope to see some of your lovely makes entered.

Good luck and have fun.

First sample for CraftyHands DT

Good Morning folks

Well as you know i have been accepted on to the CraftyHands design team.

So as it's Friday that means only one thing it is time for a new challenge over on the blog

This fortnight's challenge is 'Anything Goes'

This is the prize you could win



So this is my first sample for the design team. I am currently waiting for my card payment terminal arriving so decided to make myself a receipt book i can take with me to fairs. 
I just love the Gorjuss range and have some of last years releases and have recently purchased some of the new range that has just came out.


The book is made using elements from both.
And is 8"x8" in size.

All the papers, decoupage and single photo's are from the a4 ultimate kits of both years.


The front page has papers from the kit and features 'New Heights' decoupage.






Page 2 has papers from the kit matted with silver mirror card

I have made a pocket with the leftover paper and have added toppers from the kit (all matted onto silver mirror card


Page 3 has papers from the kit, a pocket with leftover paper matted onto silver mirror card.

'The Pretend Friend' decoupage



a close up of the decoupage


Page 4 has papers from last years kit, decoupage from the new kit out now (can't find a name for her). :(

I have only made up 4 pages just now as will add more as i need them.

This is joined together with rings which i brightened up with some scraps of ribbon.
