Thank you to all of you who took the time to view my Graphic45 DT call creations and left me lovely comments. I am so happy to have stretched my imagination and had the experience of entering my first design team call. However, I didn't make the grade and that's ok. I am not so disappointed. There are a LOT of fabulous designers out there and I know that I have a long way to go to be of that calibre. My 'style' - if I have one, is different and I like different. I aim to carry on creating and doing what I am doing - It's My Life!
I went shopping yesterday...to Primark! There are a lot of lovely items in the jewellery section that are scrap worthy. This is what I bought.
The black and diamond butterfly brooch was just 50p! The butterfly neckless was £1 and the rest were full price but nonetheless - still very cheap. I LOVE the little Eiffel Tower which will be very cute along with the French poodle for a project I have in mind. Also the charm bracelet has lots of charms and at even £3, they would be a LOT more if they had the word 'scrapbook' on it.
Another Eiffel Tower and Paris word.
Peacock feathers seem to be everywhere too now and these clips were only 50p each with another black feather attached.
I think my best buy has to be this peachy chiffon skirt. It is a size 16!!! Not my size and this is not really something I would wear at my age!!LOL. However, at £3, I shall cut it up and make lots of flowers. My little Miss Ashley's 5th birthday is at the end of this month and she is into everything pretty, bling and fru fru! *Ü* Not much different than any other 4 year old really.
So, my time will be used creating and making once again.
Happy crafting to you. Have a Super Sabbath.

Sorry to hear you didn't make the DT - perhaps next time. At least you were brave enough to try.

Beautiful buys in primark....I stepped inside there the other day and bought lots of roses...hadn't thought about the skirt into flowers idea tho (it will make my DH sigh if I get one for flowers :D)

I'm sure you're right about these lovely things being more if they had a scrapbooking label or pedigree! Great haul, though :). Sorry about the DT, but all kudos to you for thinking of trying.
