Say Hi to Ellen!

I'm back again with another creative blog for you. I visited Holland this time and loved Ellen's blog which has a real vintage feel and such beautifully crafted items. Loved the pin cushion and paper flowers. Ellen is a real talent and has such a range of projects from cards to lavender sachets. She also uses some of my most favourite bears The Tatty Teddys, I have a small collection of them at home myself. So if you want some crafty inspiration, take some time and visit Ellen HERE.

Cards from Kianel

Gorgeous box made entirely from die cuts

Altered Pringle Tube

Evening everyone!

Tonight I am bringing you a wonderful French blog from Kianel. She is so inventive with her projects and has made some gorgeous baskets and even altered a Pringle tube. Her colouring of the sweet Magnolias is so beautiful. I love her colours, embellishments and her use of die cuts.

There is just sooo much to see on her blog which is full of one project after another from stunning shaped cards to altered items.

Do take time to visit Kianel HERE you certainly won't be disappointed.

Here is just a taste of what is to come.

Meet Teri Anderson

Hi my dears, Anthonette here to bring you one of my all-time favorite card designers, Teri Anderson. You can visit Teri and her blog, A bit this. A bit of that. 

She is such a amazing talent. Check out this Hello card. I absolutely love baker's twine, so this card made me say WOW! I even made a similar card because I was so inspired.

She is one of the Go To Gals for Paper Crafts magazine. She's also on the design teams for several manufacturers (like Technique Tuesday, Lawn Fawn, GCD Studios, and Paper Smooches).

I immediately fell in love with her style 2 years ago. In her own words, she describes her style as:

It's kind of a "where it takes me style". I like clean and graphic, but I like fun and cute. It depends a lot on the products I am using.

I met Teri over a year ago and got to see her when she was teaching at a local Scrapbook Expo earlier this year. She is such a sweetie!

I had a hard time narrowing down what cards to show you, since I love everything she makes.

Stop by Teri's blog today and enjoy. Tell her you saw her on Inspirational. Thanks and have a great day!

Little Miss Sunshine

How cute is this Xmas Decoration

Morning everyone! Well what can I say about this next lady - Kath is just the nicest, funniest lady you could meet and yes we have in fact met and had a great time discussing all things crafty. Many of you will know Kath already as her craftng skills stretch far and wide. She is a master of the Hero Arts and uses those stamps in the most amazing ways and always leaves me thinking "I'd never have thought of that!!" If you haven't already visited her blog, well! you are in for a treat, her posts are so funny and witty. Now Kath also has a furry helper "The Budster" and he often hijacks her blog and has little giveaways unbeknown to his mum!!

Kath is currently counting down the days until she meets the Lord of The Crafters - the one and only Tim Holtz. She really is a busy lady and will be heading to the SECC in a few days time to demo for Fiskars.

So pull up a chair and prepare to be inspired and entertained. You can visit Kath HERE.
