Hello Cupcake!

Hi all,

What a busy week this has been! Lots of meetings and deadlines at work, Saturday shopping with my friend, Sunday cooking (wanted to try something new, but boy was it fiddly!), Monday going to the movies with the hubs (sneak preview of Jack Ryan, can't really recommend it unfortunately); I can hardly remember the days that led up to this one! However, it really is Wednesday evening again and that means a new Treasured Times Challenge! 'ANYTHING GOES' this time, so come on over and share your lovely projects! The winner will get two digis of their choice from the Treasured Times store :) Here's my make:

I pimped a little notebook that I wanted to use for keeping track of upcoming challenges. This is my first attempt at ribbon pleating, I found it pretty difficult to get it all even and straight, but I am pretty happy about this first try.

Materials:
* Digi: Magda by Julie Santiago, coloured with Spectrum Noirs & Promarkers
* Papermania Sweet Nothings DP
* Seedless Preserve Distress Ink
* Petaloo Flora Doodles Flowers
* Dovecraft Cupcake Boutique Wooden Sentiments, coloured with a marker to match the colour scheme
* Ribbon from stash

Challenges:
* Created with Love (Color Challenge: Pink and Purple)
* Allsorts (Use Ribbon, but no Bows)
* Suzy Bees (Cute and Sweet)
* Incy Wincy (Add Texture)
* Craft Your Passion (Cool Colours)
* Polka Doodles (Anything Goes/Girly)
* Diva's by Design (Use Ribbon)
* Natalie & Amy (One for the Girlies)
* Muse Challenge (Inspiration by Muse's card) I've used the cupcake theme
* CMC Copic Challenge (Anything Goes)

Not a Card!

Hello again :)

<<<If you're looking for my Platypus Creek DT make, scroll down a little to my previous post>>>

Another challenge at Delightful Challenges, the theme is "Anything but a Card". There's so many things you can do, perhaps you'd like to make a bookmark, a gift tag, pimp a notebook or even make some jewelry! I chose to alter a match box that had been lying around in my craft room for quite a while now. I really wanted to do something with it, but never got around to it. Until this challenge that is! I think it would work really well as a gift card holder, or filled with sweets :) I've actually used the match box sleeve as a template and made a new one from card stock, as the original was a bit tatty and I was having problems sticking the card to the sides where you strike the matches. I then used some contrasting DP to cover up the seam in the corner. Hope you can join us and share your non-card ideas with us, I'm very curious to see what you will come up with.

Materials:
* Tulips from the Digital Delights Holland Mieke set, coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs
* Hunkydory Cameo & Echo Park A Walk in the Park DPs
* Gems, pearls, lace and ribbon from stash

We are being sponsored by Scrapy Land this week, our winner will receive a 20 dollar gift card for their store:
