crafty sentiments sketch #8

Hello!

I am Guest designing for Crafty Sentiments this month! We had a sketch to work with with the addition of using 3 different ribbons!

The image is one of Crafty sentiments stamps available HERE

I have coloured the cute bear with distress inks and added some glitter glue to finish.

You can just about see the 3rd ribbon on my flower!!

Mini Pizza box

Hello!

This little gift box was the class I taught at the Crafts 4 Eternity February crop. The instructions for this and other classes I have done will be on the new Crafts 4 Eternity blog soon.

The box is a little smaller than A6 in size and quick to make. Just like a pizza box the lid is attached to the base.

I have decorated the front with a Gorjuss Girl coloured with distress inks.

The papers are MME available HERE and the CS is Bazzill available HERE.

Snow & Ice

Hello!

These 2 layouts are from the Crafts 4 Eternity February crop last weekend.

The first is very minimal for me! I struggled to resist the urge to add embellishments lol!!

The photos were taken February 09 when we had a day of snow. Mikael was fascinated with the chunks of ice he found.

The photos on the second layout are from the same day and show the boys first snowman!

Snow day has lots of stitching on it, hand cut snowflakes and some flat back gems. The stitched snowflakes were made using the In-Stitch template Cozy Christmas (HERE)

The papers are all from the MME Colourful Christmas collection from (HERE)

crafts 4 eternity recipe challenge #22

Hello!!

Happy Sunday!!

and....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!

It's my lovely mum's birthday today, technically not as she is a leap year baby, but she celebrates her birthday on the 28th.

Today is also Crafts 4 Eternity recipe challenge day!! Hop over to the blog HERE to see the stunning DT gallery and the recipe. This week we have a digi stamp up for grabs! This cute little guy is called Roddy Robot. Roddy was designed for my youngest son, Alix who named him!

Here's my card this week....

I was inspired by fellow DT member Keeley's card HERE last week and added 2 strings of beads to the card. The lovely Tilda is coloured with distress inks. I forgot to finish off her necklace and bracelet before taking my photo (whoops!)

PP's are Basic grey Eskimo Kisses & MME Pretty Please (free with magazine)


The circle behind Tilda is fabric glued onto cardstock and cut with a scalloped nestie.
I've been playing about with flowers this week! These flowers are made from fabric glued onto cardstock, PP and paper roses.

Lastly I made a matching handbag charm for mum! It is a mixture of recycled handbag charms and beads from my stash.

That's it from me! I didn't get time to post the crop LO's & box so will be back with those soon.

Have a great day!

Thank-you's & a card

Hello!

Well the last few days have been eventful! lol! the crop on Sunday was great fun! Saturday my boiler broke and couldn't be fixed until Tuesday! We had no hot water or heating for 3 days! Monday I went to Birmingham for the stitches trade show, the car broke down! took us 5 hours to get home and we were freezing! I spent Tuesday getting this all fixed and sorted. But All done now, we are warm and mobile again lol!

Thank-you for all the lovely comments about the crepe paper flower, if you do make one leave me a link I'd love to see them.

Another Thank-you to my UKS team mate Nikki who sent me these lovely goodies....

Beautiful card hun! thank-you so much, hugs xx

I couldn't resit inking up these gorgeous stamps and as I had missed the crafts 4 eternity challenge a couple of weeks ago I used the sketch from that to make this card.

The PP are basic grey, CS is Bazzill. The image I coloured with distress inks. I added some glitter to the heart in the girls hand and for once no glitter glue!!! LOL!!

Hopefully I will be back before Sunday's Crafts 4 eternity challenge with 2 LO's and a little gift box from the crafts 4 eternity crop!

Thanks for stopping by take care

crafts 4 eternity recipe challenge #21

Hello!

Well another week has flown by again! Time for another Crafts 4 eternity recipe challenge. The DT girls have made you some beautiful inspiration again this week! Hop over to the c4e challenge blog HERE to see their beautiful work and the challenge details .

Here is my DT card!!

The PP is some VERY old DCWV paper from a value pack, I found this paper lurking in my stash lol!! I coloured some of the flowers on the PP with distress inks and it has been attacked with the glitter glue too! lol!!

Tilda is from the Magnolia club winter collection and is coloured with distress inks and H2o's. She has a lovely twinkle in real life.

The flowers I made by cutting five flower shapes from crepe paper. Lightly coloured the tips of the petals with distress inks. 4 flowers were folded and glued onto a small circle of card. The 5th flower was scrunched a little and added to the centre. Finished off with a few black seed beads.

As usual the glitter glue fell off the shelf and attacked the card!! It really wasn't me LOL! it has a life of it's own! lol!!

That's it from me for today I am at the Crafts 4 eternity crop today and tomorrow I'm off to the NEC for the Stitches show! Lot's of yumminess awaits!! lol!

Don't forget to hop over to the c4e blog!!

Thanks for stopping by
