sugar and spice

You know that feeling..."no mojo' ? Well before Christmas I felt flat, I felt like my mojo had left me forever. Then Christmas came, I had a good rest (sort of) LOL !!! And BAM !!!!!!! It's back. Project Life has changed me, seriously, I'm crafting for me not just the shop, I'm finding it so quick, simple yet, still creative, I'm doing it my way not the PL way, but that's OK, I don't think the PL police are going to get me :) :) I'm so lucky to be on the Jones Crafts Design Team as I get to play with so many lovely things, one of them being KaiserCrafts Captured Moments, their version of PL..... it's gorgeous !!!!

I've used Snap Shots and Favourite Things on these ones and now here's a few PL ones along with a JilliBean one This one above, is work in progress This is my first one I did, not much embellishing compared to...

So this month I worked on the Mini Cupboard with the Art of Life papers….of course !! I also used the KaiserColour Paint in Antique White  I always paint the edges first and then go on to paint the rest, then I covered it in some of the papers from the range.  To make the "Knobs" I mixed up some WOW Embossing Powder and WOW Melt-It, heated it in a foil case and poured into a silicone mould, once set (approx. 1 min...
