Magazine Love....

The new issue of Adore Magazine is out here.

I have put together a couple of pages that I am simply loving....

Those purple chairs are to die for....

Again the same chair but this time its abit more pink, but still loving it. I also would love to have my desk looking this tidy at all times.

Those chairs are so gorgeous, I wonder where can i get one....

Would look great in a nook corner of even in a very elegant looking library.

This picture evoked a sense of peace and tranquilty in me when I saw it. It shows such class and pretiness its like you do not want to dirty anything in there.

Great photo....

Green is not my fave colour but I do love this arrangment.

There was a couple more pages and article of great interest and lots of beautiful pics to adore...I think the title suits...Thank s again for giving something to go home to and enjoy.....

The magazine can be found here.

That's all..have a great read

Crafty Weekends

Hello all...the weekend is here again so let's get crafty.

Anybody who reads my blog would know that I started this post last week and I am now going to be making it into a weekly post every Sunday or Monday. It's going to be a coverage of the projects I have been doing in the weekend. It could be about anything from card making to items for home decor.

So this weekend it was card making again, and now that I am getting into the hang of this I feel that my own design and inspiration is starting to flow more freely. 

 

So I started with these items - paper lace trim, purple wavy trim, ornate decorative scrapbook paper, cream metallic card stock, and rub-on stamp.

Then from there I decided on showcasing the beautiful ornate paper I had used. I decided to add the lace paper on the edge then placing the purple trim on top to create a popping colour combination.

 

Eh voila beautiful, elegant, ornate and simple.

The card is now featured in my shop.

Here are some pics of the other stuff I created which can also be found in the shop.

 

That's all for now.......

Success on Etsy

As many of you know I started an Etsy shop but was totally unaware of all the details and hard work that goes with having a shop be it an online shop or a brick and mortar one.

After reading like a zillion articles, eBook, and blog post about selling techniques and ways to improve your shop I decided to put up a list of some of the one's I have been reading lately.

Today I am showcasing Handmadeology which I think is one of the best repository of articles and help tips for any body wishing to sell on Etsy. If you are in the handmade circle and you are not aware of Handmadeology then you need to start now....by reading these articles:

Handmadeology also have a pro version which you have to pay to get access to, but it is worth the $10 bucks.

That is all for now...
