More Blog Candy & Only 3 Days Left!

Happy Fun Friday Everyone!

Thank goodness the weekend is here.  I feel like this week has been the longest ever lol.

I haven't been doing anything that makes me feel like that but I guess I have just been hanging for the weekend to get here.  

I have got a lot that I want to do in regards to mainly getting the new & up-coming Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenge organised & also picking out & finalizing the all new Design Team.  I am so excited :)

I have had more entries to the DT Call than I thought I would have & would like to thank all of you who have been extremely keen in wanting to become involved in my new little adventure.  Without you guys, this wouldn't be possible.  So thank you very much :)  All of you have submitted some wonderful designs & I am truly finding it difficult to choose who I would love on the Design Team.

Which reminds me to remind you that there is only 3 days left for you to submit your entry to my DT Call if you haven't done so already.  There is still enough time for you to get into your craft room & do what you do best in there.  Go lock yourself away for a while & show me your 'Anything Goes with Ribbon' themed design & submit it to be in the new Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenge DT.  You can enter here:

I have been working hard to try & ensure that our new challenges & this blog is like no other.  After a week of putting some thoughts & ideas together, I am happy to say that we are going to be quite, quite unique from all of the others & this blog will not just be a 'stop over' just to see the new challenge for that month.  To me & hopefully to you too, it will be much, much more than just a place to go for a challenge :)

I am trying to construct something different not only into the challenges but it's system that will go along with it.  I can't ( or won't lol ) tell you much right now as you will have to wait & see on the 1st October.  However, I will tell you this....  

DDCC will be a fun-filled place where we can all get to know one another, where we can creep inside eachother's craft rooms, where we can offer advice & ideas to eachother, where we can come for support & discussions, where we can learn different techniques & other factors from one another etc.  Most of all though...to have HEAPS of fun!

 That my friends... is my goal :)  

It is also my goal to find out exactly what you would love to find here.

What would you love to have happen here?  What would you like to see?

What would you like help with?  What would you class as FUN? :)

I would love to hear your feedback on this so please let me know in the comments so that I can build this around ALL of us.  I can't wait to see your ideas :)  Feel free to comment away :)

Also, if you see this blog changing with new additions etc then you will know that we are one step closer to  achieving the one stop challenge blog :)  Oh & btw, did you notice that I have changed the look of my blog?  I haven't totally finished it yet but just wondering if you are ok with the font?  Can you read it ok?  Would love a little feedback on this.  I would hate to think that you are having trouble reading my rambles lol.  If it is too hard to read, I will change it back to the original font.  No harm done & I promise I won't be offended.

Alrighty....talking about rambling...I will move on :)

Have you entered the blog candy yet?  If not, please do so.  Why?  

Well, as promised, due to reaching more than 25 entries I am now adding blog candy number two :)  So, now not only will there be one winner but now there will be two winners :)  

Today I am adding this candy into the basket.

When there are 50 entries, I will add some more :)

You can add your entry here.

Good luck :)

What else can I tell you?  Oh, that's right....I am having a 'Destash Sale'.

I have made a new photo album on my Facebook in which I am adding all the items from my stash that I no longer require.  You can get to the album here.

If you see something you want simply write 'sold' in the comments section of that item.  When you have finished 'shopping' let me know & I will PM you with the final total & payment details.  

There is only a handful of items there at the moment but I will be adding more items tonight & over the weekend.  In actual fact, I will be adding more items each time I find something that I don't necessarily need anymore.

So come on over & grab yourself a bargain.

Talking about Facebook...I am also hosting a giveaway this weekend :)

A few weeks ago I created these little Tilda Notelets.

They are 3 x 3 inches in size & there are four of them.  They can also be used as gift tags if you like.

I was going to add them to my Etsy shop but decided that I would rather give them away to you :)  You can enter the giveaway here.

My Daughter is about to go to Youth Group so I had better go & get her dinner ready :)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Big hugs

Spring Girl Home Decor & Another Announcement :)

Hi everyone :)

Welcome back my friends & a cheery big welcome to all my new followers :)  

It's so great to have you visit :)  Also before I go on, thank you to all of you who have left me such lovely comments this past week.  I still have a few of you to come visit but I will get there :)

I have a new design to share with you but before I do, I just want to let you know that there have been quite a few entries to my DT Call for the new upcoming Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenge.  Thank you so much for your entries.  You guys are making it so difficult for me to choose who I am going to have on my team.  Such fabulous designs & I honestly feel priviledged that you are all keen to be part of the new design team :)

If you haven't entered to the DT Call & would like to, you can submit your entry here.  There is still some time left for you to enter :)

There are a few entries to the blog candy too in celebration of the Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenge.

If you haven't submitted your entry for that yet, you can do so here.

Tomorrow I will be adding more items to the blog candy as I promised I would when there was 25 entries.  I will let you know when I have added more :)

Some other exciting news for you :)

I have been absolutely busting to tell you but thought I had better wait.

Anyyyywayyyy..... I can tell you now :)

I think it was about two days after I had announced the DT Call that I received an email from a wonderful lady asking 'me' to join their Design Team :)   I couldn't believe it!  lol  Wow!!

I was & still am very excited to say the least :)

Sooo....who am I a designer for?  Hmmmm...guess...lol

Maybe this will help.....

Yep...that's right :)  The Aussie Big Eyed Besties Team :)

I am sooo honoured to be a part of this wonderful team & thank you to Sherri Baldy for wanting me on your team :)  I am so excited.   

The challenge blog only opened up a month or so ago & we definately need more players.  Why not come over & win some gorgeous Besties for yourself?  We would love to see you there.

You can find the Aussie Bestie challenge blog here :)

Phew, after all that I am exhausted already lol

Would you like to see my latest design?

Here is is :)

As you can see I have used one of the Big Eyed Besties for the next challenge which is:

Spring Is In The Air.

I would love to see a few familiar faces submit their entries :)

I used the following Copic colours:

Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, R20

Hair: E21, 25, 29, 50

Bows: RV10, 13, 14, 32

Outfit / Boots / Paper: RV02, 10, 23, Y00, 02, 06, G21, 82, 94, E11, 53, C0, 1, 3

I had lots of fun playing with the Frantage...still using the toaster but I will get a heat gun soon lol.  I used some Glossy Accents on her boots & necklace but I guess it's a little hard to see.

I have used a fair few new items & supplies that I have ordered over the last few weeks such as the Spellbinders Lacey Squares Nesties, Cottage Cutz Grass Border Die & the Inkadinkadoo Garden Flower stamps.

I added some beads, ribbon & lace from my stash.  While I was in there hunting around I found that cute little 'celebrate life' charm, the white flowers & spiral.  I put them together & voila..a dangling charm lol.

I have stitched the DP's with my sewing machine (getting better at this lol...about time).  Used my cloud dies & then gave them a little Frantage to add some texture.  

Due to it being a Spring design, I thought I had better add some butterflies & on the right hand corner you will find a dragonfly too :)  Found it hiding in my stash.

Do you like my bow?  Goodness me...I tell ya...I really don't like working with organza ..it drives me crazy lol.  I'm ok making the bows etc, it's when I have to cut the tails of the bow.  Do you think I can ever get these straight?  Takes me ages & many attempts lol.  The tails get smaller & smaller lol.  However, I got there in the end.  I guess a little bit of persistence pays off :)

It wouldn't be one of my designs if I didn't add just a few lil' pearls, now would it? lol  I also frantaged the fence & added a little bit of Stickles to the flowers, butterflies etc.

All in all I had a lot of fun creating this design especially colouring the Bestie :)

Hi everyone,

Annnnywayyyy :)

Finally, I have a chance to show you my latest design.

I hope you like it :)

I actually coloured this cute lil' Easter Daisy & the Toadstool quite some time ago & decided that I couldn't just throw her away. So I created a nice little home for her instead :)  

I can't remember right now where exactly I got the sentiment from but I will look into it if you need me to. I used the postcard Mini Backgrounds stamp from the Whimsy Sentiments Collection.

I got out me ole' favourite heart punch out & also used the DP's & cardstock from my scrap stash :)  Love it when I can use them up :)

I have machine sewn this design, added some lace that I bought on Etsy last week & some lovely red ribbon that was in my stash :)  

I also decided on cute little pink flowers using the C.C. Designs Five Point Flowers die.  I added a little sparkle of Stickles to them & popped in a few little pearls.

I completed the design by adding my own computer generated title.  

It was a lot of fun to put together & I achieved my goal in making the notepad re-fillable :)

Sorry but this time I can't provide the Copic colours that I used due to not documenting them back then.  Like I said, it was a while ago that I coloured her in lol.

Well, I had better go & get my Daughter organized for bed as she has a big day tomorrow.

She hasn't been happy for quite some time in her current school so we went & had an interview with the high school that is local to us & thankfully she was accepted :)  Therefore, it is her last day tomorrow & her friends are putting a little farewell together during & after school.  They are all heading to go ice skating tomorrow night & then staying at her friends afterwards.  

Zoe is really excited but Mummy will be at home all alone lol.  It's ok, there is plenty of designing & Dreamtime Design Craft Challenge organizing to do too.  

So don't forget ladies to enter your submission to the DT Call.  We would love to have you :)

Thank you for coming to visit & all the lovely comments are really appreciated :)  I try very hard to get to all of your blogs & I will return the visit as soon as I can :)
