I didn't put it there!

Hello there!

This is one of the 5 books I made for the teachers at Mikael's school. The story is so sweet! about how God created teachers, it's a touching story about a group of people who work so hard to give our children the best education.

The book was made from chipboard. I made a stencil for the pages from a digi journaling shape. The PP is cosmo cricket storytime, the edges were all inked.


The story was printed onto card, and matt onto cs. The brackets and arrows were cut from chipboard, covered with PP and inked, this was the longest part of the project 2 brackets per page so loads of brackets!! I put i-player on and caught up with some TV I'd missed because of work!


A few buttons from stash, bound with my BIA and funky fibres to finish!

I have no idea if any of the teachers liked them, but the c4e crop girls did!! lol

Have a great day!

thanks for stopping by

c4e sketch #32

This weeks C4E sketch has been posted today. This week we are asking you to use stitching on your cards too! Real or faux, machine or hand whichever you prefer! Hop over HERE to see the sketch and fab DT cards!

This week I made a card and matching notebook. They are for a special little girl whose birthday I missed last week. She was Mikael's girlfriend for a while!!! LOL but he has moved on now to Lexi!!!

I bought the first set of gorjuss girl stamps from a seller on UKS a couple of weeks ago and haven't got round to using them till this week...OMG!!! so gorjuss!!! LOL My friend and fellow DT member sent me some stamped images from the second set too, so jealous I missed the set again!!

I have coloured this gorjuss girl with pencils.

The stitching is all done by hand and yes it has taken forever to complete this set!! lol The sewn frame technique I have used was shared on UKS on a LO. I have done a LO with this technique (may kit LO to be posted!!)

The Chipboard covers are cut from some packaging that came with a pack of paper.

I decorated all 4 sides of the chipboard covers. The PP is K&co from stash, as is the ribbon.

The inside pages are good quality copy paper with various gorjuss images stamped in one corner. I have left them un-coloured so Lauren can colour them herself.
I will leave you with some detail shots of the card I am loving these flower embellishments at the moment!

Have a great Sunday!

Birthday mini book 1

Hello
I finally got my hands on a BIA and used my sisters birthday as a excuse to try it out! Me thinks I will be doing a lot more with this new toy!!LOL
The card/book below was for my sister from my mum. Inside is the poem "don't quit". The papers are some old K&co papers from my stash, the stamped greeting is a new stamp I got free with a magazine sub. You will probably see it a lot at the mo!!! any way here it is....






Thanks for looking, take care

ssc wedding challenge

Hello, I finally managed to do the wedding cards for the weekend, just got to post them now!!LOL. I saw that Scrummy Stash cafe were running a wedding themed challenge this week too so here they are....

Yet again I left them to the last minute, raided my stash and was not 100% happy with the results, mum liked them tho!!!LOL

The following pictures are of the wedding stationary from my wedding last September. The complete set included, invites, RSVP's, Order of service (not pictured), poetry book, place cards, napkins, favour boxes, table no's etc. The design was kept simple and classic but took a long time to make them all, hundreds of pearl branches and roses to curls, cards to emboss and ribbon to wrap. We were pleased with the results and got a lot of postitive comments about the whole wedding. I made 5 bridesmaid dresses, my veil and mums shrug as well. There were a lot of late nights last year but totally worth it.

...there you go a wedding post!! hope you enjoyed and maybe got a few ideas too, thanks for looking.

take care all
