I decided to pack all of my card making paraphernalia up and in the process I came across a huge box of jewellery making items. Now this stuff didn't just magically appear in the cupboard!<br />
Jewellery making was once my other passion that got packed away because I just did not have the time for both card making and jewellery.<br />
I started to tinker with the gems and metals that I found in my box and wow I had found my creativity again, something I though may have been gone for good.<br />
<br />
I became so productive with my making that a year ago decided to set up an Etsy shop and try my hand at selling my pieces and I am please to say that things are not gong too bad.<br />
<br />
So what did you call your Etsy shop I hear you ask? well Eskimo Frosting of course what else?<br />
<br />
When I chose the name Eskimo Frosting or should I say when my husband chose the name Eskimo frosting years ago it was always meant to be for my jewellery making hobby/business but I switched to card making at the last minute. For quite awhile this blog has been dedicated to the art of card making. Well I'm about to switch again but I can't promise that the odd card or two won't find its way onto these pages!!!!<br />
<br />
Starting today I am going to post items of jewellery that I make and also pieces that inspire me along with the odd basic tutorial on how to make items of jewellery like attaching a clasp and shaping an ear wire.<br />
<br />

I was inspired to make this bracelet after a wonderful trip to the Mayan Riviera this year with my family. All the colourful outfits the ladies were wearing and the turquoise blue sea lapping at the shore. I just new what I was going to do with these lovely beads and sterling silver and I have to say I am rather pleased with the way it came out, so much so that it nearly never made it to the shop!</div>

I have been missing in action for a while now on and off but hopefully things will pick up. It seems that every time a get one thing sorted another pops up. I have to say it has been quite a year so far. As some of you know I had a house fire at the start of the year that meant I was out of my home from January to June. Having got that sorted we decided to take a holiday July for a little R&R. We ha a lovely time in Mexico and recharged our batteries. On arriving home on the 4/8/14 I received a letter informing me that my employer will be asking for voluntary redundancies! That was a bit of a shock to the system I can tell you. Then on top of that I ended up in hospital this Sunday 17/8/14 with a mystery allergic reaction that made my head neck and arms swell up! I was prescribed Steroids and Antihistamines to take the swelling down. Fingers crossed it seems to be working but I don't look very attractive at the Mo! I definitely think I have had my run of bad luck for this year, hopefully things can only get better.<br />
<br />
Enough moaning and on to more pleasant things. <span style="font-size: large;">We have a new challenge starting today over at <em><strong><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Divas by Design</a></span></strong></em> which is <span style="color: #741b47;"><strong><em>Pretty Pearls </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">Sponsored by <a href="http://www.ivanovachest.com/">Iva Nova Chest</a>............................</span></span><br />

For my card I have used the new Prima papers <em>Seashore. </em>The Image is by Wee Stamps called Goldie. All of the die cuts have been cut with the Doohickey kit club No1 and the image has been coloured with Copic Markers. I think she would have looked better if I had used my Distress marker though?<br />

I thought I would show the cover of my latest memory book for this one. The pages are not quite finished yet but I am really please with the way the cover turned out. Once I have finished the pages I will blog them too but my crafting mojo is on a bit of a go slow at the moment so I don't know when that will be!</div>

I am a little late with this post as I had a meeting with my builders this afternoon. I haven't mentioned before but we had a house fire back in January and have been struggle with the insurance company ever since to get back into our home. Finally things are picking up pace and it looks like every thing should be finished in the next 6 weeks. My kitchen has been ordered today along with the bathroom and tiles. I can get on and start ordering my new furniture and carpets now. Anyway enough of my excuses here is todays post.<br />

I have to say Santa was very good to me this year and I got some lovely pressies. I also ate my entire body weight in cakes and chocolates so it may be time for a new year detox! but the less said about that the better....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enough waffle and on to the real reason that I wrenched myself away from the chocolate box.....</div>

Christmas is almost here so for my SFTW DT team card I have made a another Christmas card using the Fabulous Spitz from Saturated Canary. This fits in nicely with the new challenge that starts today at <b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">SFTW</a>.</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<b><u><i>The theme for this challenge is to use some Red </i></u></b>on you project and as always at<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">SFTW</a></span></i></b> you must use either a digital stamp or a rubber stamp on your projects. Our generous sponsor for this challenge is <b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/">Saturated Canary</a></span></i></b> who kindly provided the team with some lovely image to use.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this cute little fella and as soon as I had coloured him with my Copic's I knew exactly which papers to use. I dug out my First Edition Christmas pad and finally after a year of hoarding used the candy cane papers. (well you have to wait for the right image don't you?).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I distressed the edges of al my papers and them layered them up onto a Craftwork card base. The gorgeous wreath cut using a memory box die has been heat embossed using white Frantage embossing powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used a Doohicky die for the lace at the bottom. The poinsettia flowers were cut using an old quick kutz die. </div>

For the card shape I used my Cricut and Elegant Edges cartridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I merged the shape in the Cricut craft room to make the card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then covered the card with some lush papers by GCD studios called Ella Blue.</div>

For my card I have used Retro Marci coloured with Copic's. The lush papers are My Minds eye Find your wings and fly. If you count all the layers of paper I think I am up to 7. I matted all of my patterned papers on to kraft card and then a white layer with a Martha Stewart punch around the page. The ovals are cut with nesties and the oh so cute buttons I cut using a Die-Namics die.<br />

I am a little late with this post but I do have a good excuse. Work has been a complete nightmare. I have been the only member of staff in on my section for the past 4 days and life has been a little hectic. My son is off camping today with the scouts so I had to go into work early and then rush home and pack his stuff. Thank heavens its Friday........<br />
<div>

As soon as I found out the challenge theme I new I was going to use this gorgeous digi</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Mo Manning. She is called <a href="http://mosdigitalpencil.com/">Harvest Fairy Apple </a>(hence the post name).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have coloured her using Copic's and a white pen for the spots on the apple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card shape I cute using a Go Create die which I got at Ally Pally in a lucky dip bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The papers are My Minds Eye traditional Christmas. The sparkle round the edge is a translucent rainbow embossing powder. The flowers have been cut using a very old quick Kutz die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The heart tag is a Doohicky die by Magnolia which was another buy from Ally Pally and would you believe only £10!!!!!!!</div>
