I am now a DT member for THE HOBBY HOUSE.

A very good morning to you all! The weekend is over so quickly:(
Last night I received some exciting news..... I have been chosen along side 11 other wonderful talented crafters to be part of The Hobby House's new Design Team.  Our creations will be on the new challenge blog which I do believe begins on the 1st June!!!! And maybe also shown on Create and Craft TV where the lovely talented Chris from The Hobby House demonstrates:)... This is such an amazing and exciting Team for me to be part of!!! :)
I have used there products for a few years now, but over the last few months I have really become addicted to them:) The colour pallete of there pearls, ribbon and toppers all beautifully co-ordinate. They have recently added beautiful card too there ever increasing range too:). You will have probably noticed that I don't make a card or project without a little bling, so there products are a perfect match for me:). When I got news that I was to be part of the Heartfelt Creations design Team I wanted too also find some products that complemented my designs.... and The Hobby House products do just that!!!!
So  if you are not familiar with The Hobby House products hop over to there website...you will find Embellishments, flowers, ribbon, stamps, accessories (including dies, paper pads, punches to name just a few) charms, Toppers (including KennyK, Wee Stamps), all that beautifully co-ordinate together soooo well !!! http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/. Also do take a look at there blog and see all of the other lucky DT members :) HERE
I am unable to show you my designs that I submitted to them for the DT call at the moment ... you will get to see these later, but I have chosen a few of my projects to give you an idea of some of there products.... and what you could create with them ...

So I would just like to say a big thank you to The Hobby House for giving me this amazing and exciting opportunity x I am honoured to be part of the team!!!! x
I will be back later with a new project to share with you all :) x

Wee Little Bird House

Happy Thursday my fellow blogging friends. Firstly I would like to again say a big thank you for your lovely comments that you leave on my projects..... it is a joy to wake up everyday and see that my blog has been visited..... It makes my day!!!! Thank you also to all my new followers, I really do try and visit every ones blog and leave a comment, but I apologise if I haven't yet....... I am really busy at the moment, but I promise I will get round to all of your lovely blogs soon:).
So to my project that I would like to share with you today....... An altered Bird House! This really was a fun project to make. The bird house itself is from a company called Tando Creative, I got this at Ally Pally a few weeks back. It comes flat packed and is really easy to assemble and decorate....... I really should have taken pictures during the make, but as always I got carried away with the moment, but maybe I could do some video tutorials in the future ........ this is on my list of things that I would like to do......so watch this space:). Ok! back to the Bird House....... I chose papers from The Nitwit Collections - Country Lady: Available from LOTV.

 

•  I used a craft knife and scissors to cut with. Only adhere the paper one side first then cut and then adhere the other side, else you won't see where you need to cut! I inked all the edges using Victorian Velvet distress inks.
• Now assemble the house.... this is really easy as the base has slits in and you just slot them together. The roof just needs gluing in position.
• Once all assembled you are now ready to decorate.  I have gone to town with this part:).
• Most of the items I have used are from The Hobby House - The images are Sweet Blossom toppers (Wee Stamps, by Sylvia Zet). I have cut these out.
• The roses are Wedding Day and Raspberry Truffle - The Hobby House.
• The leaves and flourish are Spellbinder: Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.
• The tiny birds - Marianne Design Creatables.
• Pearl Brads -The Hobby House
• Tiny pearls - Mei Flower
• Tiny flower buds - Anne Marie Designs
• Other pearls and lace  - my Stash
• I have finished of with adding lots of Stickles Glitter - Diamond..... I think I have a little bit of an addiction with this product :).

Here are some more photo's to show you the house in a little more detail .........
