On your Travels at Country View Crafts

Good morning Lovelies!!! I hope you are well! Woo Hoo - finally I get to reveal that I have joined the design team at Countryview Crafts! I can hardly believe my luck - not only is it my favourite shop - I also get to be teamies with an uber talented bunch who's work I have admired for a very long time now! Thanks Chris for the chance - I will do my very best! I hope you will enjoy joining me on this particular part of my crafting journey.

So the theme for this months challenge is 'On your Travels' ... there's still a couple of weeks to join in and the randomly drawn winner of the challenge will receive £20 to spend in the shop - and trust me that won't be a hard task as Susan stocks so much wonderful crafty goodness ...and postage is free! There are also chances to win guest design spots on the blog too. So what are you waiting for?

I have been playing with my file folders again and have made a journey file folder using lots of yummy Tim Holtz goodies. As soon as I saw the theme I thought of the Tim Time traveller stamp set which features inside this piece.


Here's the front of the folder - for the main folder I used distress stains and inks to create the colour - salty ocean, mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio, mustard seed, tea dye, walnut stain and  hickory smoke. I also used the cityscapes stamps and classics-1-stamp-set. plus the remnant rubs special-delivery


Inside I decorated the file folder using the time-travelers-travellers-stamp-set. I created tags using distress paints (evergreen bough and cracked pistachio), layering-stencil---treadstraveler and mesh.




This is the next page and tag.


I also added chit-chat stickers.


I will get more organised next time and produce a more detailed step by step post! But if you have any questions please ask!

I would like to enter my file folder into the stampsandstencils happy-holidays challenge..

Thats all for today! Thanks for visiting and I'll be around to check out what you have been up to later.

Hugs
