Welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations

Hello, welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations Blog, where I hope to be able to inspire you with my creations so you can come along with me on my journey!

I am super excited to be part of Scrap Of Your Life Design Team, a very first for me, so I am a little nervous, however I am looking forward to the next 6 months and the exciting projects and inspiration I can bring to you.

A little about me.....I have been crafting since I was around 18 years old (a long time ago) or thereabouts, and not always with paper crafts. I actually started cross-stitching, which then lead me into making teddy bears with embroidery on them. From here I moved into paper crafts, being introduced to Crafty Kids at the time and absolutely loved what they offered. I then met some wonderful, creative people along the way attending various craft workshops and enjoyed being with like minded people and creating to our hearts content. I have developed some wonderful friendships along the way, and created many various projects from cards, off the page designs and journals, and to date, a couple of scrap book pages. 

My craft room began in a very small spare bedroom in my very first home, and soon grew into a large space in a rumpus room when I got married and moved house. I've moved my space a few times, having bought another home with hubby, I grabbed a spare bedroom and since moved out again due to renovating our home, and now I am settled in my husband's shed! I have so much stuff, I don't want to move it back into the spare bedroom, so my husband is building me a "she shed, so watch this space!

For now, here is a video of my current craft space, where I have fun creating, hope you like it! 

Happy Crafting

Halloween Tags and Cards

Halloween! Spooky and scary.........unfortunately not something I am greatly into, although I have to say I did enjoy making these tags and cards using the awesome Simple Stories Say Cheese Halloween 12x12 paper and the the cute Hey Pumpkin Stickers. I created the tags first using Dylusions ready made tags in Black and chose a background for one from the Simple Stories sheet and the other I used a square stencil and used my orange blush nuvo mousse and created a raised bakcground at the top and bottom of the tag. They are so easy and simple to make, just using the papers, adding dimensional under the Boo Eek wording, tying some black and orange twine, adding glitter with glue and a little bit of Dylusions white spray set it off, then I added some of the stickers. The second tag, I used the same colour nuvo mousse with a splatter stencil and added that at the top and a little at the bottom, some Halloween washi tape and the skeleton acetate.   For the cards, I used some colourful brads

Polystyrene circle base and Lemon Craft Silence Papers

When I was sent this polystyrene circle base, at first I thought, "what does Julie expect me to do with this", so a little treat of white chocolate put me in a head space to create a picture perfect scenery using the Lemon Craft Silence paper collection, which is just so pretty. This project required some fussy cutting, and you know I am not a huge fan of fussy cutting, although my patience with this didn't wear thin, and I actually enjoyed it, maybe it was the combination of pretty papers, coffee and yes, as mentioned the white chocolate :-)  Firstly I started by tracing the circle base on one of the papers that already had a slight pink tinge through it, and then added more pink using the Tim Holtz spun sugar distress ink, this really made the paper pop. Once that was done, I added a strip of paper on the bottom of the base to add some colour. I then added some Webster fabric ribbon found in my stash that was just perfect for this project. I added a strip at the top of
