Tempting Templates at Fab N Funky DT

Morning

Oooh now this week at Fab N Funky the challenge is.......................

"tempting templates"

Brave enough??????????????? come on give it a go, if I can do it anyone can. I have to admit to not being able to open the files but I got alot of help, (thanks LOU!) and then I was up and running.

The DT were lucky enough to choose a template from our wonderful sponsor..........

I'm Adela and I live in sunny Southern California with my husband and our two teenage girls! Crafting has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I love to sew, crochet, knit, draw, paper craft, stamp... I love anything related to crafting! With encouragement from many people, my love of paper crafting in 3D has led me to open an online shop which allows me to share some of my template designs. I feel so blessed and

I truly believe that God has given everyone their own special talents

and it is our privilege to share it with others.

Adela from Creations by AR has even got a FREEBIE section, so why not pop over and use one of the fab free templates and then join in with us on this challenge.

This is a Ribbon Keeper and it comes in 2 sizes, regular which I have made and large. It was really fun to make and not to difficult and I have to say the instructions are good.

I decorated with some lace and papers from My minds eye, I inked the edges and then added a flower, it was really fun to make. I think it would be quite a nice gift for a crafter, filled with some lush reels of ribbons!

I would also like to say a big HELLO to our new DT members, I am so glad you are joining us!!

Bring on the Men....Fab N Funky DT

Morning

Yep half way to the weekend, really can't come quick enough for me this week!! Looking forward to tonight though, off to Romford with my sister for our monthly card class, such a fab bunch of ladies they all are.. Its really tiring though, I will be up at 6am leave the house at 8am and wont be home until at least 11pm sometimes after that!! Phew I am worn out just thinking about it.

Enough of my boring old ramblings, the challenge for this week at

Fab n Funky is

Morning

Hello everyone, hope you are all well. I have had a bit of a break, feel like I have been gone for ages but its only just over a week. We went away for a few days and then when I came back I couldn't seem to get going again! We had a lovely few days in Saundersfoot, we walked through Lilyponds right up and over the cliffs to BarafundleBay, OMG its almost paradise there and also Stackpole Quay. If you live near there, I envy you, just beautiful! We stayed in a fab B&B called Cliff House in Saundersfoot, I would recommend for sure, very clean with sea/harbour views, a little terrace to sit on and a very scrummy breakfast. I was going to post some pics but I look minging in all of the photo's LOL!

Anyway this weeks theme at Digital Tuesday has been chosen by Ellie and it is

In The Garden/Outdoors

We are thrilled to be sponsored once again by Spesch Designer stamps, you must go take a look here!
