Tims May tag

I finished my tag in May, this was a close one. love how this tag turned out, I used all my favourite thing on here. 

I used all the things that meant a lot to me. I adore buttons and flowers so had to put them on here. Owls, of course. And Disney Mickey key, well, that was a given. I collect things with hearts on so added the bling heart. The lollypop speaks for itself. And found this little fairy door the other day and is was so cute I had to add it. This is my favourite tag so far. 

Here are all my tags this year so far. I put them on my cupboard door in my craft room.

Happy Crafting. 

Letter holder

I have not done some crating in a while. We have had some beautiful weather so we have been reinventing our back garden so most of my time has been on that. But I now need some crafting to bring me back to life, lol

My neighbour give me this letter holder as she did not want it anymore, it was a plain cream colour, so I had to change that. I have been collecting used postage stamps for a while just to use in my crafting, so thought it would looks nice down the side. I attached them with pva glue and then sealed them. I used decoupage paper on the front and used some on the inside which says 'I love you' (So cute). Finally added some flower lace to give it a bit of dimension.

And here it is in use, I think it looks so pretty. 

I fell a bit more human now I have done some crafting. 

Heart button canvas

Here is my latest creation.'

I had some old canvass in my bathroom that had seen better days, so was throwing them out. Then I had a brainwave, so decided to revamp them. So I painted one grey and, as my bathroom has an orange and white theme, I decidef to add a button heart. I just hot glued them in place. The other canvas I have planned to use my prima doll stamps. I'll be sure to show you all the end result.

Hope you have a nice weekend and happy crafting!

Easter basket

Look what I made for my girls for Easter. 

I made one for both my girls and they were both very happy with it. I just got a new basket with a liner. And placed a gift and some Easter goodies inside. 

Happy Easter!

New arrival

My nephew and niece had a new arrival on Friday. Harley was born weighing 9lb 6, the heavyweight. So I was busy buying baby clothes (I just love that), so I made them this card. 

I used my Marianne design dies. I love them, they're so cute, and I love the way you get the stamps and dies in the set. I coloured the baby image using my new water soluble wax pastels I found at Hobby Craft, and I must say I am in love with them 

I am going to play with them some more on my Prima Doll stamps soon.  

Happy crafting :)

Tim Holtz April's tag

This is my take on Tim's tag this month As usual I do not have all the supplies he has to hand, so we all have to make do with what we have. Most months I treat myself to what he uses in the tag, but, with just coming back off our holiday, and spending far too much in Disney, I had to make do. Overall I think I did a good job.

I used the Sizzix Moroccan card front die, I tried to cut the Grungeboard with it, but it wasn't working out, so just used some thin chipboard with distress inks on it. I used the die to cut out the mirror, which was a very thin sheet mirror-card, I had some glitter card, including that too. The cork would have been too thick to used with this thin die. I stamped the background as did not have his tissue tape. I also used my Martha Stewart pine punch, and the Stampin' Up flower die my friend had. So having her cut a few for me, this allowed me to play around with it. I added the little owl charm at the bottom, as I though he was cute. I really love how it turned out.

My Mothers Day gifts

Here is my Mother's Day gifts from my two beautiful and very thoughtful daughters. We just had a lazy day at home as we were still recovering from our hoilday so the girls made me a lovely roast dinner and I was allowed to craft for most of the day. I had a lovely day, thank you girls love you loads.
