Bermuda bay wedding invites

😝 So I write this post from my bed 😝

Happy Thursday everyone! Myself and mini me are taking it slowww today. We've been up and had breakfast but decided to return to bed for another hour 😍. There's a few things that need ticking on our to do list but they can wait for now.

"Life becomes so fast pace, sometimes we need to just give ourselves that down time"

So true!

So a friend of mine asked me to make her wedding invitations 😬. I was so excited. We came up with a beautiful and elegant idea of using a retired stampin up die set 'so detailed thinlit dies'. (This is one of the dies that I will never part with!) The end result were 35 of these 😊

I wanted to say a little thank you for asking me to make her invites, so I decorated two stampin up delivery parcel boxes so that she can give her parents and in-laws a little gift when sending them their invites.

I absolutely loved making these for Katie and her future husband ❤️

*I could nod off again*

So before I fall back to sleep I must start my day

I hope you all love these invitations as much as I do. Have a fabulous day!

raspberry pots

Morning 🤪 it's Tuesday, the sun's shining and..... I'm at work, atleast only till 2pm then my X3 days off can commence I'm so excited!

I have posted a few examples of decorating the raspberry pots that work keep for me, so I thought I'd add another one to my collection.

This little beauty was decorated for my friends birthday on Sunday. It was filled with her favourite choccys 💚 why not upcycle or re use pots that you have. These pots are such a handy size 👌.

Check out my website for further details on the prized peony bundle that has been used here.

🌞 Have a fab day! 🌞

#ecoconciouscrafting-jiffy bag

Upcycling a jiffy bag

Morning morning! It's that time again.

The ecoconcious blog hop is back! This morning I'd like to share an old jiffy bag I cut to size and upcycled. This jiffy bag once held a gift I had purchased for a friend. Before throwing it away I thought of ways I could upcycle it so it can be used once again. I trimmed it to the size I wanted, heat embossed and die cut a floral image out of the new 'prized peony' stamp set, added a sentiment and a few pearls and this is the end result. Cute right? This jiffy bag will be used for cards I am currently working on to ensure all the little pieces do not get lost. If you have a jiffy bag around why not try this idea.😊

I'm off to start the roast as the in-laws will be round soon.

Enjoy the rest of your sunday!

Lots of love
