Giveaway.......

Hi everyone!

So I have decided it's about time for me to have another giveaway.

First up I'd better show you what's up for offer.

That's it, you guessed it. Does it look Tempting? Well wait there is more.

You not only get the four Moulds pictured here, But also the other two styles of Cherubs, the other size of bottles, that's eight moulds!, but in addition to this you will receive one 475g box of rapid set white resin to start creating!

How does that sound? Sounds awesome to me....

So how can I win you say? Well it's pretty simple actually.

All you have to do is spread the word. Send your friends over to the blog and get them to leave a comment with your name in it (something like Tina Dalton sent me for example).

The person's name that is left the most times wins.

Thats pretty easy right?

Ok just a few ground rules 

1. The comment must be left in this posts comment section.(send your friends the link)

2. Only one comment per person will be counted ( so no need to post hundreds of times each)

3. I will announce the winner on the 5th of October.

Now go to it. Spread the word and win yourself some goodies to play with.

Spring is in the air.....

Yep it's here alright, and none to soon I say. There is just something about the light spring brings after the grey winter period that just makes my heart sing. I have to say the blossom trees are bulging with flowers. Just so beautiful.

Now some of you may or may not know but i accepted and new position within my company a few months back. It's a job with a much greater responsibility to the company, and has taken me some time to transition and bear the weight of the work. I've just this week worked out all the kinks and I'm moving along like a well oiled waggon now, and have been busting to get back in my studio to play. I've had several small play dates this week, but today I am home and have been in there since the wee small hours. The sun is streaming in my window and I'm playing along to my hearts content. Olive and Scarlett are playing chasey and running in and out of the cat door ( my window looks over their cat run) and occasionally stop to check out what I'm doing.

I decided that I needed to make a start on Christmas cards, because it would be here before we knew it, so I have the melt pot out and am making some wax Christmas cameos to use on my cards. I'm going with an all white theme and it's actually pretty challenging sticking to it. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not afraid of colour.

I've just recently celebrated my birthday and I'm feeling like i need to share the love. What about we have another give away? I know we had some give aways when I started my Facebook page, but I think it's time we did it again. I'll formulate a plan tonight and let you all know how it will work tomorrow. What do you reckon? Well I'm excited! hahahahah

Tina Dalton has been busy playing away lately creating so many gorgeous Layouts, and I know she has fallen in love with the Cherubs I have just released. She did a layout recently where she antiqued one to make it look like old stone. It's just divine isn't it! Pop over to her blog to see the full layout and what else she has been up too. 

The Cherubs really are gorgeous, and they come in three different poses. Check them out here if you'd like to. 

Earlier this week I signed up and started an e-course with the amazing Kelly Rae Roberts. Oh my word, can that lady inspire you to get it done! I've been learning so many things about how to handle and build my creative business. I have been struggling of late with getting everything done. Struggling with the little voice inside your head that tells you should be doing this, or you should be doing that. You should be cleaning, or working harder, or spending more time with family. What every it is that stops you from doing exactly what you want to be doing. Well we do need reminding from time to time that it's ok. It's ok to spend your weekend creating, not cleaning. It's ok to think about paint and paper and making stuff all the time instead of reading the newspaper. She reminded me of this this week. and Im taking the time to stop, re-evaluate and reset. Starting today! It's play day. Now that I've told you all about it i have to get back to finishing my cards.

Have Fun!

New Design Team work.

Take a look at what Davinia has been doing using her Design Team pack from Moulds by Mel. These are a simply stunning example of how versatile the moulds from Mould's by Mel can be. 

Not much else to be said really, these are gorgeous and so beautiful.

Moulds by Mel New design team member........

Good morning everyone, I would just like to take this moment to introduce a very exciting new member to the Moulds by Mel Design Team. We are so lucky and privileged to have Davinia apart of our little team and I'm sure you are just going to love her work just as much as me. Ill let Davinia tell you a little more about herself, but we look forward to her first projects that should be up to view very soon. 

I'm Davinia and I'm a jewellery artist working predominantly with Polymer Clay.

Back in 2010 I took a class in working with Precious Metal clay with the idea of making my own components and findings. Really enjoyed it but found it rather expensive and open flames were involved.  But during that class we practised making textures and shapes with polymer clay before attempting the same on the PMC and I found the polymer clay so much fun to work with I haven't looked back.

I started with someones unwanted pasta machine and a small plastic container with half a dozen colours of Premo Polymer clay. Now I have a cupboard full of clay paraphernalia, from texture plates, cutting blades and cookie cutters, to books and magazines, embossing powders, mica powders, paints and anything I think I can use with clay.

That's the beauty of polymer, it can be manipulated to look like almost anything, from gem stones to metal. It can be squashed, twisted, cut, sliced, molded, painted, polished and if you don't like it just roll it up and start again.

Polymer clay and molds were meant for each other and I'm so excited to be a member of Mel's design team and being given the opportunity to create exciting pieces using her wonderful Moulds




Stop by Davinia's blog to see what she is up to

thanks so much for joining in!!!

I have been busy behind the scenes playing with the moulds. Yay for me! I am completely in love with several of them, like desperately, and use them over and over again.I recently had the pleasure of a scrappy weekend away with my two besties to a small wheat belt town named Hyden. We gave each other a challenge to complete on the weekend sometime. My 'Angelica" layout was my out come. My challenge was do do grungy, make my own flowers and not to have a bow. (you'll come to know how much I love a big bow! hahaha) I am completely excited with my layout, i just love it, and i used Moulds my Mel's teddy bear mould. He is just so adorable.

This next layout that I have done was using a vintage button mould that we I have available. It's great for flower centres and I must have used it at least three or four time over the last few weeks. It's big and makes a statement. 

I really enjoyed doing this layout also, having to sit and think what your actually bucket list is. Mine seemed to be all big stuff. Not sure if that makes me to ambitious or Im happy and content with what I have now? I used the Stirling Rose mould to make the hot pink roses I have used here.

The seahorse, what can I say. He's delicate and fragile, but I just love him for some reason. I was so glad I could use him as I have wanted to for the longest time, luckily I recently had breakfast in this most incredible spot down south. It was such a divine morning. Nothing better than Chai and pancakes on the beach, and I mean literally on the beach.

I want to just take this moment to thank a few people (again you all say! hahaha), Im just so lucky and blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing and awesome people that I consider to be my friends, what would we do without them? Firstly to Jenny and Tina. xxxx You know why, and what for. Seriously amazing friends! Moulds by Mel is and would be nothing without you two. xx Secondly I would like to thank Tomorrow's Memories and all the team there, especially Vicki, Jo and Clori for believe in me and this little product and supporting me as I venture out into this big bad world. Thank you. xxx Tomorrow's Memories are stocking Moulds by Mel, so you have a chance to see them in person and up close. Pop into the store sometime, you won't be disappointed, it's a gorgeous shop. xx

For those of you who aren't lucky enough to be able to visit, you can view and purchase Mould by Mel in my Etsy store. xx

Thanks for stopping by. Pop back soon, I will have details of a blog hop that is happening this weekend, Lots of prizes to be won, and tonnes of creative inspiration to be had. xxx
