Valentine's Treat Bag

Here is my treat bag for my husband for Valentine's Day.

Inside are three bottles of beer - hence the pun - a DVD, some of his favourite sweets and chocolate. All it took was a plain gift bag, stuck on tissue paper hearts, and a Tim Holtz cherub die. To make it look fuller, I stuffed it with crinkle tissue paper and heart confetti.

I must admit that I am quite proud of myself, for it's two weeks until Valentine's and I've made his present already! I wonder how long I can keep this streak up for! I just hope he likes it.

Happy crafting!

Baskets

Found this old basket in my friends shed, she was throwing it out as it had been there for a very long time, so I had to reuse it. I was thinking of using it for when I get new crafting stuff to place there and leave it on my desk, I get new stuff most of the time and I just put it away and then forget about it. I have many items in my craft room that have never been used. the basket  was very dirty whit I got it, so after scrubbing and cleaned it all I first wanted to paint it, yet after seeing it when was all clean, I loved the rustic look, so decided to leave it. I added some ribbon around the handle and then some small red flowers around the rim. It must admit that it looks so pretty now.

 And here it is with some of my new goodies in. Now to just use them.

Happy crafting! 

Tim Holtz Tag

Yes I finished my January tag and I am very pleased with it. Most of the time when Tim brings out a tag, I don't have any of the stuff he has to make it, but, luckily, I got some of his stuff in the sale this year so was
very happy. Can't wait until next month now to see what he is going to come up with.

Have fun crafting!

 

Hi, I am back and will try to make it work this time around.

I wanted an idea book to write down future projects and also keep track of all crafting products I want. I would always be looking around shops in awe, coming out with things that I didn't exactly need, or have the right equipment for, so I thought that it would be better for me to keep track. I found a plain notebook and, of course, I had to decorate it.

I used some glitter foam background paper, a paper pieced prima-doll stamp, and a tissue paper flower. Now to fill it with the things I want!

My nephew will be two years old on Wednesday, so made him this card.

Have a creative day! Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday card

Hi, I needed a quick card for my sister-in-law's birthday as April has just flew by and her Birthday is next week, have been so busy with my in-laws this week as they visited us so have not had time to craft  :(
So, I have come up with this tonight. I used Craftworkcards Candi dots have just ordered these and not had the time to play with them properly.

And used the stamps to go with the dots

Considering I did not have that much time, I think it turned out ok.

25th Anniversary card

Hi, my friends are having a Surprise party tonight to celebrate there 25th wedding Anniversary, they have 3 daughters who have organize all the party for tonight they think that they are just going to the place for a drink with family, what a surprise it will be for them. So have made them this card.

I used some fabric paper for the backing and I cut out a heart from my dies and placed some ribbon though the hole and tied a bow and added a pink heart gem. I stamped the image and gently water-coloured it so have a very soft feel to the card.

May be nursing a headache tomorrow so the only cure for a hangover is to craft all day (that's what I tell Shane lol)

Have fun crafting :)

Birthday card

Hi, here is a card I have made for my niece Molly's 13th birthday. I used Hannah Lynn stamps.

I was playing around using my new stamp on all different papers, then I tried embossing the image. I found that was the best looking one for this card as I think it needs to be bold. I used Tim Holtz on the edge dies. I didn't have any blue flowers, only had some white ones. Then had a brainwave I inked them up using Tims inks and then misted them with water, added a bit of stickles and tada blue flowers. 

Happy crafting
