Crafty makes 28/01/08

hello friends,

What have you been up to this week?

I managed a few projects this week.

It was my nephews 1st birthday on friday, i made 2 cards for him.

They are a little different from what I normally make, much simpler in their design.

Materials used: square card blank, paper printed from freebie disk (crafters companion), ribbon from stash, chipboard letters from QVC kit.



Materials used: tri-fold card blank, papers from stash (k&co I think!), buttons and ribbon from paper mania, 'happy birthday' stickers QVC kit, 3d stickers from stash, see d's mini stamp, clear inkpad, brown inkpad, silver embossing powder.


Tecniques used: tearing,distressing, stamping and embossing.



The large number and letters were cut out, stamped using see d's mini stamp and heat embossed. A bit fiddly but worth the effort. The photo does not do it justice.




I managed 2 layouts this week. The 1st in memory of my dad whose birthday it would have been on wednesday. I think there is something missing from the bottom left corner, a subtitle? Anyway, I have put it away and will take another look at it later.

Materials used: papers from DCWV black & white prints stack, buttons and brads from paper mania. Large letters - stencil printed from computer, cut from black card, highlighted with white gel pen.

The 2nd layout has been waiting for a long time to be completed. I loved the photo because I never knew it had been taken, and it is rare to catch Mikael smiling!





Materials used: cardstock from paper mania, pattern paper from stash (creating keepsakes and K&co), accetate overlay printed from my computer, ribbons from stash, chipboard bees from QVC kit.



The journaling is in a little book centre left. I hand wrote the entry but wish I had used the computer now!





No ATC's this week, naughty girl...LOL. I will have to do some soon.



Have a crafty week
