SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS

I have been invited to be a member of the Design Team for Let's Craft & Create.

I am very honoured and excited to be asked to be part of their team.  So a big thankyou to Mandy and Eileen.

Please come on over and check out our blog and take part in our fortnightly challenges.

GO DIGI

Today I would like to share with you a card I made for the lady who looks after number 2 son at Home Base Daycare once a week for me.  He will be leaving her in a couple of weeks to head to school so I have made this card for her.

The background papers and flower image are all digi's from  Pink Petticoat.  The ticket I have tea dyed a piece of card and then printed a digi ticket from Cuddly Buddly.  Ribbon and lace are from The Ribbon Girl.  The rose, pearls and butterfly are from my stash.
To finish the card off I have made a charm chain using some glass beads from Craft Runner.

I got this idea of using the combination of the background paper and image from a sample card from Pink Petticoat. (Thankyou) 

I will be entering this card into the fortnightly challenge running at the moment at Let's Craft & Create- Challenge # 25 GO DIGI.

FAIRIES

I am always on the look out for fun and interesting things to make.  Today I have made bottle cap fairy magnets.  The images I purchased from madebyjanet at Esty. 

Don't they just look soooooo cute.

Then I thought how could I present them to someone as a gift so I made this tag to put them on.  The papers I have used are from Beatrix Jennings.  I even brought out my sewing machine to add a little extra detail. Ribbon and lace from The Ribbon Girl,

(I tea dyed the ribbon and crinkled it myself)

butterfly die from Dienamics and pearls and flowers from my strash.

I am entering these into Let's Craft & Create Challenge #24 - Fairy Tales

EAT CAKE!!! (Second Entry)

Hi Everyone

This doesn't happen very often but I have managed to make a card to also enter into Challenge #23 over at Let's Craft and Create. (EAT CAKE)

A very simple little card made using digi papers from Cuddly Buddly www.cuddlybuddly.com.
I have 3d foam mounted the greeting and added some rhinestones.

Simple but nice I think.

EAT CAKE!!!

Hi Everyone

Today I would like to share with you a delightful wee cupcake and gift box I made.  The wrapper is made with a piece of cardstock and embossed with a Crafts-Too folder.  The cupcake itself will not leave you feeling guilty about the calories as it is made using a washcloth and a pair of baby socks.

To add a finishing touch I decided to make a wee gift box using a paper from the Grace Taylor Vintage Collection and decorated it with some ribbon, cork butterfly, paper rose, tag and a gorgeous wee teddy bear charm.

I am so pleased with the way it has all come together.


I will be entering this into the fortnightly challenges over at Let"s Craft & Create - Challenge #23 - EAT CAKE.

Thanks

TAG IT

Hello to all, sorry I have not posted for a while.  Some days I just don't know where my time goes.  My three boys kept me busy.

Anyway I did have some time up my sleeve today and I have made this tag.  The gorgeous papers I have used are from  Beatriz Jennings downloads from her Esty Shop.  The butterfly I have used a C.C Design die and finished it off with a paper rose. The ribbon is from Ribbon Girl and the lace and pearls are from my stash.

I am entering this tag into challenge # 22 over at Let's Craft and Create.

Baby

A friend of mine asked me to make a card and gift for a baby boy and girl.  This is what I came up with.

The cards have been made using digi images from Pink Petticoat http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/ 
(A awesome sight you must check out).

I have coloured the faces using copics and for the parms I have used the techinque of paper piecing. To embellish I added some flat back pearlsand rinestones, ribbon, glitter and some tiny button stars.

The gifts are a pair of socks and a flannel made up to look like a cupcake. To finish them off I have placed them in a clear acetate cupcake box, added some wood wool, ribbon and label.
