DCS: Show Us Saturday #1

Happy New Year to all of you :)

I hope you all had a fantastic time & enjoyed celebrations.

This last week has been quite hectic with trying to relax & enjoy the festive season with my family & friends but now that my business is up & running it's a bit hard to not think about all the things that need to be done. However, I tried my best with not touching my laptop :)  Now I can get back into it again.

Last week I participated in the My Project Monday over at Dreamtime Craft Supplies blog & showed you that I was hopefully going to find the time to pretty up my planner pages. I am happy to say that I did actually do it.

I bought my planner last year but didn't get to use it much so I figured why not re-model it for 2016?!

I first needed to find a planner printable that co-ordinated with the planner page colours. Luckily, I found a blog called Laughing & Losing It where Christina has made this gorgeous hedgehog planner printable. I just had to have it in my planner :) Thanks so much Christina for making this available.

I have to admit that it took me a while to figure out what I was going to do to change the dates but after a little bit of thinking & looking at all those pretty planners on my Pinterest board, I came up with a solution.

I used my Little Lizzie font Die-Versions die to create the days & dates of the week & stuck everything down with Ranger Glossy Accents...wow, do you know how strong that stuff is as a glue? Talk about dry fast! lol

I only wrote in a few things on the planner pages that are in accordance to my business blog but I will write in all the other to-do items later.  I just didn't want to bore you with my business stuff lol.

I had a good time putting together my planner pages & will definitely be doing it again. Even though this is the first time I have done this to any planner of mine, I am pretty happy with the outcome. It was good to finally get some time to get some crafting done even if it was to decorate a planner lol.

Have you created anything in the last week?
Enter it into Show Us Saturday over at Dreamtime Craft Designs blog?
You may just get your project featured on the blog. Go check it out.

I really hope you had a great Christmas & New Year.
Here's to a fantastic 2016!

Thanks for popping by & happy crafting

P.S  I really need to update the design of this blog as it's driving me crazy lol. 

DCS: My Project Monday #1 - Pretty Planner

Now that it is coming up to the New Year I figured that I really should be using my Erin Condren Planner.

I did actually purchase it during this year but I never really got around to putting it to proper use. Therefore, I have decided not to purchase another one & to use the one I already have. However, due to the planner not having the correct corresponding days & dates of 2016 I really need to come up with a creative plan of how to make the planner work for me.

Even though I am incredibly run off my feet with my online paper craft store, Dreamtime Craft Supplies, I will definitely find time adjusting & decorating the planner my project for this week for DCS My Project Monday #1.

I intend to use the items in the pic to decorate the planner with & will share them with you in another post when it is complete.  You know how it is, sometimes you plan to use products but when you actually get down to creating you end up using different items lol.

I would like to enter this project into the following online events:

Dreamtime Designs Challenge Winner!

Hello Friends :)

Wow, it has been quite a while since I have been here.

My apologies for being away. Many of you probably thought that I wouldn't be back but as you know life tends to get in the way sometimes & we simply have little or no control over it.  However, it feels great to be back :)

There are a few things that have changed since the last time I was here.  Unfortunately, I am sorry to say that one of the changes was ending our Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenges.  I knew that I would be away for a few months so I had to do the right thing by the Design Team & myself by closing the challenges.  It was pretty hard to close it all down but at least the ladies & I still stay in touch via our Facebook group which is great.

In saying that, I offer my deepest apologies for causing any inconvenience to all of you for not announcing the winner of Challenge #3 any earlier.

Today, right now I will let you know who the winner is.  Are you ready?

We had a FABULOUS sponsor

Through the Craftroom Door

offering the winner a full 12 month subscription to their magazine.

Thank you so much Colleen :)

The WINNER is:

 #1 - Lisa S

from

Adventures In Cardland 

Congratulations Lisa S.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the DDCC Design Team.  Thank you ladies for all of the great designs you created for the challenges & for all of the support you gave me when I was going through that rough time.  I am ever-so grateful to all of you.

A very special thank you to my friend Roberta for looking after the team, my blog & everything else that you did while I was away.  Thank you so much hun & I hope you get better soon xx

I would also like to thank all of you who participated & followed us through our wonderful venture :)  It was so much fun & I hope you had fun too.
