Crafty Individuals ~ Hanging About!

Phew only just managed to get this done in time as the Crafty Individuals September challenge finishes tomorrow. Having a touch of crafters block at the moment, one of those weeks when nothing goes according to plan and everything I touch goes wrong LOL.. This hanging was all set to have some pretty lace all along the edge which I'd bought from my last trip to Dunelm mills. As I didn't have enough to go all the way around I nipped to Dunelm this morning to get some more, and now they don't sell lace anymore, I only went there a few weeks ago, so was not amused, but I still managed to buy a few other bits and bobs, well it would have been a wasted trip otherwise!!

Anyway I used some of the Melissa Frances papers again to make the heart which I finally edged with some german scrap instead. I stamped the CI - 148 stamp onto some gessoed cotton and coloured with distress inks. The heart was made with MF papers and cut with a sizzix die and then dry embossed. I added some lace, roses and trim and one of the CI chipboard swirls. Think this will have to be the last of my vintage shabby stuff,  I will hide the MF paper so I don't use it for a while : - D Sorry about the photo but without a decent camera now so still using my iphone.

Off to tidy my crafty corner as there is stuff everywhere and even though I am very untidy it is loads worse than usual & Dylan (the dog) is snuffling though the stash I dropped on the floor!

Have a great weekend & Happy Crafting XX
