Dens Crafty Diary: Guest Designer

Warning- photo heavy!!

I was extremely chuffed when the ladies from A Trip Down Memory Lane contacted me and asked if I would be a guest designer for them for April.

I waited for my surprise box of goodies they were going to send me to arrive and I was so thrilled to see that it was all right up my street. They sent me the latest releases in from CHA- Bo Bunny Gabrielle range and they are absolutely beautiful.

Luckily I love butterflies and flowers so got to work ...The gallery is up now so I can at last show you what I came up with..If you want to see the other projects from the design team you can see them here.

The colours of these papers are gorgeous..

On the first browny toned one I punched the butterflies from some tissue paper that one of the boys had his shirt wrapped in from one of those American shops they all get their stuff from nowadays. When he unwrapped it I whipped it quick before he screwed it all up - what are us crafters like !!

I used some of Tim Holtz's tissue tape to make a rosettey flower.

Did a bit of stamping on this one.Good old tissue tape again!

Last but not least a mini concertina book and a card...

This was all new to me but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Having seen those cute butterflies, I noticed that R had bought her boyfriend a tshirt from that shop and made her secretly save the tissue paper it was wrapped in after he had opened his presents ;-); 12 April 2011 at 08:57
