Another card

I found this card on someones blog whilst looking around I am sorry I can't tell you who's if anyone knows please share a link. This isn't an exact copy but the ladybird shape is the same. I used Stampin up petal stamps for the wings.

Thanks for looking

Birthday Cards

Here are two cards I made for friends little girls for their birthdays. This is a forever friends decoupage which was quickly put together.

This one was papermania stamps and the lettering cut out from my cuttlebug. Haven't had time to blog hop this week so I do apologise hopefully by the end of this week I will be caught up.

Christmas Crafting

Well it's been a while since I last posted I do apologise. Things have been busy here so I haven't really had time to get on the computer. I have taken loads of photos though so expect a few posts over the next few days. I found this frame in the local charity shop for a £1 and loved it as it was flat so I knew it wouldn't be that hard to alter.

I used some Bo Bunny paper and modge podge it on. Added a piece of Bazzil and some K&co sticker to spell out JOY. I am going to put a picture of the boys last Christmas in it.

I am looking forward to getting it out at Christmas.

I am sorry I haven't visited any ones blogs the last few weeks but I will hopefully have a good blop around this week.

Back to normal here

Well hubby has been back at work a week and things are back to normal :-( I have still been doing lots of crafting but none is finished though - I really should just stick to one project at a time. I have made some advent coasters though. These have been on so many blogs so they are certainly not my idea. I made these for my boys to go in their rooms. I am going to add a post it pad with the numbers on.

Well I will have loads to show you when it's all completed..........

Take care

A card and a addiction

Sorting through my stash yesterday I realised I have an awful lot of K&co paper. I don't buy embellishments or anything but I have enough paper pads to open a shop. One of my favourite collections is Amy Butler - I love her fabrics too and am buying a few fat quarters here and there to maybe one day make a quilt!!! I have framed Amy Butler paper on my bedroom wall and I have to say I have been asked where I got the framed art on my wall from lol! Whilst browsing the web last night I landed on the papertake weekly challenge blog. I liked the sketch so I had a go what do you think? Obviously using K&co Amy Butler lol. Have a great Wednesday I will not be doing woywdw this week as am having a HUGE sort out. Laura x

Whitespace

I struggle with whitespace. I feel it looks like I have put no effort into it. I admire other peoples pages they seem to make it look amazing. It's like 'the get out of bed look' that supermodels and celebrities manage to pull off effortless and look amazing. Me well the overweight, frizzy haired, smudged make up.... not quite the same is it.

I have an awful lot of pink in my stash. I like pink but as I am mainly scrapping about my 3 boys I don't use it that often. Well I did this LO using a sketch by twisted sketches and because I am in the picture I got to use pink. I think it still looks bare but it's been put in the album and I don't alter them when they are in there so this is how it's staying.

Hubby is back at work tomorrow so less crafting time for me but am hoping to still do a bit each night as I am in the swing of things now. Have a great Sunday everyone.

Mums Gifts

Last week on WOYWDW I had a tone of Blue awning on there. well this is what it was all for. This is a tag book I made with a poem about mothers. I saw this idea somewhere else on line but I can't work out where sorry. This is a box I made for it to go in the box was so easy to make as I have just bought a score-pal and they are amazing. The instructions for this box is on splitcoast stampers. Excuse the mess of the kitchen mum is in the process of having a new kitchen fitted.

Here is the card I made using my Cricut. I spent some time reading the instruction book and we are now friends and it's doing what I want it to do with out me screaming!!!!

Mum was so pleased with her gifts which is what I was nervous about. As for me I never want to see Blue Awning again!!!
