Ever After SimonSaysStamp Challenge Entry!

Today I entered my first ever challenge! The Simon Says Stamp & Show blog has a challenge open called 'Ever After'. The idea is to create something fairytale inspired! I love the idea of challenges, especially on a day where I want top create something but I'm not sure what. Having a theme is great because it gives you a starting point without dictating exactly what you make! I'm pretty happy with how the tag came out.

I decided to make a tag with a quote by W.H Auden - "The way to read fairytales is to throw yourself in". I used blues and golds and wanted to create a tag that kind of 'glowed' rather than sparkled. I'd love to hear what you think so please feel free to give me your thoughts/feedback. Now for some photos! :)

Allow me to introduce myself!

Hello all. I wanted to make a blog so that I could share my crafty adventures with others. So I thought I would start out by telling you all what I'm interested in! I'll just throw down my list and who knows, maybe we'll have something in common. So in no particular order!

Papercrafting, polymer clay, knitting, computers, video/computer games, consoles, sewing, beading and making jewellery, animals, nature, wildlife, learning, cinema, reading, crafts in general, shopping, sci-fi, science, mythology, veterinary medicine.

Phew! Well, thats all I can think of off the top of my head. I promise next time there will be a proper post. I just didn't wanna dive straight in there!
