On one Friday afternoon (21.6.13)

Hello :)

 so i want to share with you a few bits I created yesterday afternoon, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to blog them but seems as I finished work earlier today I have a sneaky half hour to fit this in.

 I decopatched a plain and boring 'love' sign for our lounge. I used country, shabby chick papers to give it still a rustic look. It looks perfect infront of our moving in present from a good friend of mine (Orchid- Anna B).

 Some quick cards made from a gold, floral cardstock pack I had acquired a long time ago lol. 

 Another quick card using 'Teresa Collins - Fabrications paper pack' and a butterfly die from spellbinders. I never really use gold cardstock but the vintage paper and distressed butterfly go really well together.

 I shaped the butterflies wings to give it a 3D effect and added a trail of  3D glue dots covered with gold glitter .

Well Ive been given a task from the 'Bride to be' to make her a card post box.... well at first i didn't know what that was until she showed me a picture. So if I get time later (After our new cat is being collected) I will give it a go using my new crafters companion 'ultimate pro' which again hasn't been used yet.

I still have to make her hen party invites arghhhhh must get cracking, see you all soon :)

Thank you for visiting

A few bits I've made over the weekend :)

Good afternoon from sunny yet muggy Southampton.

I can actually move in my craft room!!!! HORRRRAY!! work surfaces still haven't arrived yet but its fine, I have my desk in front of the window, stereo all plugged in and all my craft bits away in there kind of correct places, HAHA, I have purchased storage drawers for all of my card stock and colored paper, painted an old unit and put my own personal touch on it, and taken off the doors of an old wardrobe and made some plain curtains to hide the contents of all my crafty bits :D among all that I have been enjoying the weather with Will and taking photos, BBQ's with family and friends, adventuring to Bournemouth beach and visiting their sea life center and watching the big cruise liners set off. I hope everyone enjoyed Fathers Day. Back to work tomorrow and what a hectic week I have ahead of me :( I love being busy but i'm sure we could all think of better places to spend our time!!

Thank you all for joining me today,  I have started making my own recipe book!!! So once i have completed it, I will share some snaps with you all. Take care

A Birthday present

Here is a birthday present for a friend of mine. I brought a 3D frame, used scripted and plain brown cardstock and added a few embellishments, one of which is on a spring (owl). As you can see my 3D acrylic glittery glue dots have been incorporated in my project yet again! Then to finish it all of I used my big shot to create my butterfly and glued it on useing pinflair.

Craft 3D photo frames

Hello :D

Just a quick one today , well I had the chance over the weekend to relax!! Which is a first!! Sooooo I thought hmmmm I want to make  something to go in my new craft room.  So I thought i'd combine the 3D photo frames and some stamped letters..... But what word to stamp, so I just thought 'CRAFT' as its simple and straight to the point tee hee. ( I'd like to make one for our bedroom Aswell, soon they will be all over the house!!!) so I stamped a floral heart from the 'Chloe' range and coloured it in with my pro markers, added a few 3D glue dots and covered them with glitter :),

 .I will post the finished frames once we have moved as everything is in boxes. :(
