A few more photos of the projects I made on Easter sunday:

A Crafty Easter Sunday!

Many thanks to Bibi for hosting our craft day on Easter sunday! Had a lovely day - from 11:00 am to 10:00pm we crafted to our hearts content. I made little easter treats - acetate sour cream cartons stamped with paint dabbers and filled with mini eggs.


It was Bibi's birthday on the 10th and I'd planned to make a cupcake tower but the stand didn't arrive so just made cupcakes - they did turn out well though :)

We managed to do a few projects, a clock kit from Cleo's undomesticated scrapbook kits, Bibi bought us all a chipboard monogram, Sam bought us a mirror and I bought little tin pails(didn't get round to doing anything with that yet)and I altered a wooden birdhouse I bought from Paperchase.

February - already!

Happy 2009, I know i'm a bit late :) Had found it really difficult to get back into the swing of things after having time off for Christmas but back to normal now. This weekend was UKScrappers Cybercrop - a Murder Mystery themed one this time, I was a CSI! Didn't manage to meet the deadline for most of the classes but did manage to earn 100 points for the Mystery kit I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.

The other 3 LOs I completed were based on 3 classes from the CC.

Merry Christmas!

Hi out there, haven't update my blog for a while - my excuse is that I hadn't been well and only recovered fully at the end of October. Again I've not been prepared and made christmas cards at the last minute! Had a great crafting session with friends last weekend making cards inspired by Tim Holtz 12 tags of christmas.

Hope you like the photos.

I bought a new pair of shoes to go with a dress I bought for New Year - yes for those that know me I did say a dress :)

The shoes looked a bit plain so I glimmer misted them!

More artsy craftsy

Had a lovely craft session with the girls today, playing with slide mailers, metal embossing and paint - just what the Dr. ordered!

I feel like last weekend has inspired me so much - hadn't done much in the way of crafting in the last month or so as have still been suffering a bit. Just need to keep it up, had planned to make a start on Christmas cards in August but so far have only managed to make 3!

Thought i'd upload some more photos of the projects I made last weekend.

Artsy Craftsy

Last weekend spent a fabulous 2 days in Newport Pagnell doing a workshop run by Linda Brown of LB Crafts and Leandra Franich of PaperArtsy. The workshop was fantastic, great new techniques using paints, metal embossing and bead making from UTEE. My favourite was the Gothic Arch, combining stamping on fabric, a bit of sewing, and metal embossing. I want to make

another one! They're going to hold another one next year -i'll definately be going :)

I've not done much in the the way of scrapbooking for a while, but have actually pulled my sewing machine out and used it! Bought some new bedroom furniture and decided to make curtains too. Bought some satin ribbon and stamped my favourite Heidi Swapp Damask stamp on it then created rosettes to put at the top of the tabs, also created embelishments by stamping the damask stamp on shrink plastic.
