WOW!

It has been an eventful 1st year at Crafty Matters with the advent of this blog a year ago, I have seen my little embellishments grace the pages of many magazines, blogs and websites. they have been sold in shops (bricks and mortar and online) and used in kits by Kim Archer @ Home and Funkstreet Designs

I have had the most wonderful, professional team of girls supporting me - Mardi, Charm, Lou and Vita- and until recently Katie- have provided so much inspiration each month for the Show and Tells, they have inspired me as well as everyone else who visits this blog.

So, what do we have for you this month- well its my birthday today- so the theme is Celebration

Charmane has used a little wink emoticon on this layout to set the mood of the theme. very effective!

Vita has created this gorgeous mini book- heres the details

Vita used the star bisque & scallop bisque.
The stars were covered with kindy glitz (teal & crystalina).
The scallop bisque were used layered with Love Elsie epoxy stickers. (doesnt that look good!)

Lou has used the Ceramic stars to great effect- they really suit the theme and i love how mounting them on circles highlights them even more.

and this beautiful layout from Mardi- celebrating 25 yrs years with Ian

Mardi has used a scalloped plaque and added rub ons - doesnt it fit beautifully on the layout??

and now for some more news…………
