Some Jewellry

Well I had a go at making a Bangle for the CB swap Racehsian is hosting, Im not confident enough to try beading a bracelet I need some practice, so I made a bangle instead, I just love the colour of the Stone it's stunning.

Some Christmas Cards

Well I know it's only August but I need to make a start on my Chistmas Cards for Family and friends as I will have a lot to make this year. I bought some Paper Stacks from Anita's Christmas Range Black and Silver and stamped some Penny Black images from the Clear stamp set. I love the stamps they are gorgeous and every card has some sparkle and glitter.

Ive received some Gorgeous Raks, and Swaps here are a few from Queenie, the notebook and ATC, The Image Swap from CB Ladies, Rak from Shellyhope and Sher-Lynn, that you ladies you are all so kind :)

Stamperama

I was kindly given the tickets from CB and had a fantastic time, I took my mum on Sunday 10th August, it was a lovely dry sunny day, we arrived early which was good, although I spent far too much money but treated myself to some lovely Penny Black stamps and some Christmas Papers and Decoupage.. I can highly recommend it and will be going again :)

This is my entry for Pollycrafts "Fairy" Challenge , I downloaded the image from Chris's Blog and just used for Glitter pens to colour her in, the border was created with Metallic Rubs in Purple and pink and I added glitter Glue to the top, I then Stuck on Beaded Ribbon from Dunelm to the Bottom and decorated with Gems, Coloured in a Peel off, Purple and added to the bottom.

New Makes

I finally managed to get some crafting done this week and I made 2 cards last night, the first one is a leaving Card for Jenny from CB HQ which I need to post off.. With the Second one I wanted to make it a little different so I used my gorgeous Laura Ashley papers with the Stamp I won in CB Crafty Giveaways I chose the Pink ink as I wanted it to give it some colour I will add a sentiment to it before I post it out to a special friend :)

Blog Candy

Chris over at Pollycrafts has some Blog Candy up for grabs, pop over to her site, leave her a message and just add a link to her blog on yours. good luck

Sequins' no glue challenge

Well this was a challenge and a half for me. make a card without using Glue or tape well what a challenge so here was my entry, the base card every element was sewn on. The zigzag paper was attached down the left side with zigzag stitch, then a tacking stitch across the top, the star paper was just attached at the bottom. bit I added some beads down the right side sewn on . I then used braids sewn in place at an angle to house the bookmark and stop it falling out, someone gave me this idea previously on another Card I made so I thought I would try it so I made a simple bookmark with 2 stamped images in Silver and Green and added a poinsettia to the top finished with a braid ribbon.

Birthday Cards

I made a few cards for July Birthdays they all seem to be floral themed :) but they where quick to make and they all turned out ok in the end.. Thanks the Tiggertastic for the image of the flower which I coloured in oranges this times to tie in the the papers and ribbon on the middle card, I think that image is so versatile it will fit with any colour scheme.. Sarah also sent me the large flower which is on the last card too thanks again hun.

Recent Makes
