Candy's Handmade Creations

We had a frame that came in damaged into the shop and decided to give it a dressing up. Here I have used Prima and Kaiser flowers, Kaiser bling swirls and pearl bead ribbon and  some shells that I had in my stash. We can make these frames to order any colour you would like, depends of course what we have left in stock.   Looks better in real life, had fun doing this one mostly because blue is my favourite colour. 

Come and join me and the girls at http://www.scrapbookfantasies.com.au for my weekly card classes. The class starts at 10am every Monday morning and all you have to bring is yourself and your card making gear.   This is last weeks class  7th January: We played with heat embossing and a bit of stamping and also cutting out, just a little.       This weeks class 14th January: We played with pan pastels all the girls had a lot of fun. They really enjoyed using them.           

Once a month at http://www.scrapbookfantasies.com.au they hold there card club which is free to anyone who wishes to come, it is usually held on the 2nd Saturday of each month.  This months theme is monocromatic cards mine was pink. Colours where put into a hat and you had to pick one out .  You have to make a certain amount of cards I usually make 12 as it is an easy number of cards to make and any leftovers I usually put in my spare card box for birthdays etc. This is my pink card    I have stamped the rocking chair with ordinary pink ink and then embossed with pink embossing powder the teddy bear onto the chair.  Then you if you wish can purchase a kit for $2.50 and make a card. This then goes into a competition and the customers get to vote. You are allowed to add to these kits all I have added is the bling swirl and the small flowers.   This is the card I have made: 

Every month at http://www.scrapbookfantasies.com.au  they have an adult and kids page competition  and a card challenge(copic and traditional) these kits cost only $5.00. You have to use at least a piece of everything in the kit and not allowed to add anything except inks etc. Here are my pages and cards:   This page is the Adult page competition.     I have used the $5.00 kit For the background I have used some irredescent medium mixed with some black acrylic paint and then put over a mask. Then I dribbled some white liquitex ink over the top.   I try and do the kids competition pages as well every month.
