SDC161: Flowers

Kristen is our hostess of the week and here is her challenge to you:

 We may be nearing towards the end of summer, and for most, the flowers are fully bloomed, but for me, some of the best flowers are yet to come.  I love the gigantic sunflowers and the autumn mums, and for that reason, I challenge you to use flowers in your creations this week. Have fun !

SDC159: Bows

Jackie is our hostess this week and here is her challenge for us:

Ribbons have been around since the Middle Ages. Merchants travelled the world, buying and selling ribbon, many of which had gold and silver in the silk. ribbons were a sign of nobility and worn only by the rich. By the seventh century ribbon was part of the fashion industry and was part of clothing.

Today ribbon has numerous uses, and it is a favourite crafting accessory, I have lots of it! 

You can make fabulous bows with it to adorn your cards, scrapbook page,  tags, journals etc.

So I would like to see you adding a bow to your project, if you don't have ribbons, bows can be made out of many mediums such as paper, clay, string to name but a few!

I looking forward to seeing your creations with a bow!

SDC: August Guest Designer

We are excited to welcome back one of our guest designers for the month of August.  Here's a refresher on more about Gay Peplow.

My name is Gay Peplow and you will find me mostly on my blog http://mustavcoffee-craftymusings.blogspot.co.uk/. I live in Surrey in the UK, have a very patient husband , two sons, a daughter-in-Law and two grand daughters. 

Since I was a very small child, I’ve loved the feel of paint in between my fingers, discovering clay was just magic, squidging it is a memory that has stayed with me since school. But I enjoy many forms of art, lino cutting, making 3D models even transforming the back of a lorry into the sea and then the following year into a city skyline for my son’s school fete!

I have had my blog now since 2007 and have really enjoyed making cards and linking up with the lovely crafty people I have encountered. I was on the design Team of the Craft Barn for a couple of years and really enjoyed it. My favourite style is probably clean and simple but it is also the most challenging, to achieve balance and place the elements of a design can take hours.

Stop on over to say hi and visit her throughout the month to check out her designer entries.
