Butterfly Project

Members of Craft Swap Forum are currently involved in making butterflies for a very special project at the Houston Holocaust Museum. The museum's aim is to collect 1.5 million handmade butterflies in memory of the 1,500,000 children who died in the Holocaust. The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition, currently scheduled for Spring 2012. Further details can be found on their website at: http://www.hmh.org/minisite/butterfly/index.html

This is my first butterfly - made using stamps by Paper Bag Studios, Tim Holtz & Hero Arts, and Distress Inks.

Blue Twinchy

Made for the new challenge on the Small world of inchies blog... Blue Colours. I've used another stamp by paper Artsy.

Stripey Tag

Stripes is the latest theme by Tag You're It! - I decided to go for wonky ones! Stamps used on the tag are by Paper Artsy and Crafty Individuals, and the background was created using chalk inks.

Winter Frost

That is the theme on the Make a Moo or Two challenge this week. For this one I have used part of one my Christmas cards for the background, the image of the girl is by Paper Whimsey, and I've added some crystal ice stickles. I've also added an acetate snowflake at the top, but unfortunately this can't be seen on the scan!

Oooops! I have discovered that the reason the acetate snowflake did not show up in the scan was because it had dropped off - oh well, you will just have to use your imaginations!

Anything Goes challenge

A card made for the Anything Goes Challenge on Craftswap Forum... to use black and white plus one other colour. I've gone for my favourite pink, surprise, surprise! I've used a stamp by Laura Ashley for the background and an Anna Griffin stencil for the embossed centrepiece.

New beginnings...

... is this week's theme for Florrie's ATC challenge over on Craftswap Forum. I've called this one "First Day at School". Stamps used here are by Tim Holtz and Paperbag Studios.

My little ponies

This week's challenge theme on the Inchybyinch blog is horses... and to make your inchies into a cube!
