A New Week

Craft-Cycle Week
I do apologise I scheduled this post for the 26th October?? Obviously baby brain!

Good Morning Splodgy Splodgers,



How are you all? Did you enjoy the weekend? I know there was a few craft fairs on and lots on T.V. shows so I am sure you weren't bored!

Well Done to Crafty Chris on winning the blog candy :-)

This weeks theme is 'Craft-Cycle!' We all end up with lots of unwanted materials when we craft and with 'recycling' being so popular now we decided to spend a week on the blog showcasing projects that have being created using recycled materials that we would usually throw out. When we bought Hollys milk cartons in bulk they came in corrugated card boxes, I try my hardest to recycle and my bags are always popping come pick up day so I used some in my scrapbooking which I will share later in the week. When Kay from Indigo-Blu came to Suzicraft for a demo day she found some old rusty screws outside so she used them on a mannequin and it looked so effective. So...enough babbling from me....Kathleen is first this week to showcase her project using a inner tube from wrapping paper.

"Using the inner tube from a roll of wrapping paper I inked the 8x8" Brick Mask and 

embossed with a die cutting machine. 
I then cut some spellbinders leaves which I inked using walnut stain and my 
SplodgeAway Mat. I cut 3 circles out of the same card and made flowers with them.
 The  white flowers were cut from the left over pieces of tissue from another 
project.  An off cut of card, spellbinders circle and indigo Blu stamp gave me the
 sentiment which was inked with fired brick and my SplodgeAway Mat"

Why don't you try using some cardboard tubes on your creations and email them over to susan@suzicraft.com. We would love to see your projects using re-cycled goodies and we will post them onto the blog.

Thank you Kathleen for a great card. I love the tube idea, saves money on buying kraft paper or card.

Check back tomorrow to see what Angela has used on her project.

Have a lovely day and thank you for calling by,

Susan xx

Congratulations :-)

Rae and Shell's Fantastic Projects

Good Evening All,

I am running a little late tonight. Tom and I had an unexpected day off together so we decided to go Christmas shopping and I really don't know where the day has gone??

Today Rae is showcasing another fairy themed project for us and Shell has also created an amazing door sign for her craft room where she creates all of her wonderful designs.

Tonight we will also be revealing the winner of the GiveAway so make sure you check back tonight at 9pm where I will post the winner :-)



Rae has created a beautiful tag.

"For this project I went with "fairy" tale theme. Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen.

I have used a whole myriad of masks to get lots of layers again on this project. The masks used are the alphabet border, the runes and pentacle from the Gothic Alter layout, then the Leaf the Lot for a subtle hint of shimmer. Then the square edged Brick mask and the fantasy Unicorn Stenskape were embossed with. I also used one of my fave masks - one of the very first Splodge masks of Unicorns and Mermaids."

Shell has used the Fairy Dust Layout Mask alongside her amazing colouring to create this beautiful door sign. I think it is just soo cute.

Thank you to both Rae and Shell this week for your beautiful pieces of work. Don't forget you can click on the link and divert to Shell and Rae's blog where I promise you will not be disappointed in what you find.

Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you for following us,

Zoe's Fairy Card and GiveAway

 Good Morning Splodgers,

I can't believe it is Wednesday already! We still have 3 days left on the SplodgeAway GiveAway so don't forget to enter to win some lovely crafting stash...

Today Zoe in sharing her beautiful Fairy project. Zoe has used the 'Fantasy Fairy' StenSkape on a tag and I think it is very effective.

"So here it is, I blended various Distress Ink splashed bit of water and dried, 

I used the gorgeous 'Fantasy Fairy' StenSkape in black. I only used part of the flower 

on the mask as I only wanted the buds, added couple of words, the butterfly I made by
 putting Maemeri iridescent texture paste into a silicon mould and leaving it over night 
to set." 

WOW! I love it Zoe, thank you so much for your amazing work.

Check out Zoe's work for more inspiration. 

Thank you for calling by and see you tomorrow :-)
