Card for a man!

I really dislike making cards for men!
Fortunately this man likes golf so it made it slightly easier!
The gold ball was embossed with a cuttlebug embossing die and the golf bag and umbrella were from an old decoupage set but I decided to just use them as one layer instead of decoupaging them.

storage box

I made this fabric storage box for a friends birthday. It was from a pattern in a Tilda sewing book.
Yet again it is a project I want to make for myself but yet again just need to find the time to make it!

mmmmm what's cooking

I have loads and loads of recipes collected from relatives, magazines etc and wanted to store them somewhere other than thrown into a drawer so I decorated this box to make it into a recipe box.
The cards were printed on the computer and stamped with an old woodware clear stamp set.

'H' is for Heather

This is a birthday card for my niece who is fascinated by letters at the moment and loves finding a 'H' for Heather on signs and food boxes etc.
It has been decorated using die cut shapes from cuttlebug dies and sizzlit dies.

A couple of bags!

The challange on the Vanilla sugar site for May is to make a bag. I found some nice patterns that I was going to use but couldn't get the fabric I wanted locally so I will make them when I have found the fabric I want on-line and also when I have more free time!
The first bag I made was for a present for a friend- I still need to get around to making one of these 'buttercup' bags for myself!

The second bag I made is to store some of my puppets in which I used to use for teaching- I love the alphabet fabric and it's really thick cotton.

Christmas robin

This is my card for the Bubblyfunk 25th challenge for May.
The challenge was to make a card with red and green as the main colours and then as a bonus you could include your own background- mine has been stamped using a roller with a holly pattern, a tag- the circle may not be tag shaped but they are tags! and inchies- my inchies have been cut in half diagonally to make the corner triangles- triple bonus points!
The robin and holly leaves have been curved and slightly decoupaged- I love the effect and will be trying it with a lot more stamps.

beaded dragonfly

This beatiful dragonfly was made as part of the bubblyfunk cyber crop. I found the tutorial on you tube and was surprised at how easy it was to make!
I will be making a lot more of these and may try using double the amount of beads to try making a larger dragonfly.
