Etsy Notebook - A Dream is a Wish the Heart Makes





Hi everyone,
Thank you for popping in to see me & welcome to all my new followers :)


Wow!  It has been a very busy week for me.  I am really looking forward to the weekend.  Have you got anything special planned?  I am hoping to just sit at my craft desk & design the weekend away :)  


I want to thank all of you who have so far entered my blog candy in celebration of the new & upcoming Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenge.  If you haven't already entered you can do so here.

When it has reached 25 entries I will then add more :)







There are also a few wonderful ladies who have entered the Design Team Call which I am very pleased about :)  I am looking for a quite a few designers so if you would like to know more, you can find out about it here.  I would love to have you part of the team :)







I am really excited about the new challenges & the Design Team & there is a lot of organizing to do so that I can get things in order & prepared for all the fun that is about to happen :)  So, I will try to be here as much as possible & will also let you know the adventures as they happen :)


If you would like to help out, it would be wonderful if you could post the DT Call badge on your blog for me & link it to this one.  It would really help spread the word for us.  The more DT ladies I have, the more inspiration you guys get when it comes to the challenges :)  If you do place it on your blog, please leave a comment to let me know.  I would be really grateful :)



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 :)


If you would like to pin this design to your Pinterest board:


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 :)


Big hugs
