Bathroom Hanger

All I need now is some rope to hang it on the bathroom door.

Cupcakes

And here are the cupcakes .....

Cupcake Stands

The china ones are so pretty and seem to be everywhere in the shops now but they are quite expensive.  I wondered if it would be possible to make some from thick card.  It was and now I cant stop making them!  There are so many ways to decorate them too.  With a good coat of varnish on the top they should be pretty hardwearing and shouldn't get any greasy smudges on them.  Of course, you don't have to put cakes on them, they can be very pretty in their own right too!

Baby Card

This is the card I made for my sister's new baby girl. I used the clever pram design from Sara at the Time for Crafting website. You can see the TFC Website here www.timeforcrafting.co.uk and I thoroughly recommend a visit :)

Notebooks

Here are two lovely little notebooks made from the instructions from the Time for Crafting eMag Christmas Issue (you can find this at www.timeforcrafting.co.uk in the VIP area). They are so easy to make once you know how so I think I will definitely be making more of these for little extra Christmas pressies :))

Lovely birthday cards

Had a lovely birthday yesterday and had such lovely cards from my crafting forum friends I wanted to show them off. Thank you ladies.

Sara (left) and Glennis (right)
Loving the colours on Sara's card and it has such lovely textures too,
and Glennis' card with the shoes....perfect

Nanna, beautiful stitching on the card, hard to see in the picture but lovely work and Fudgebabe's card is really irredescent and a lovely image from Crafty Individuals
unless I am much mistaken lol

This cute little gift bag and start card is from Marion and is
absolutely gorgeous

Lizz's card is beautifully decoupaged and Linda has been playing
with her Cuttlebug I think, love the colours and the simplicity
of the card, really effective. And thank you to Linda too for all
the little extra bits and pieces she put inside the card.

Christa, such a beautiful cat card, decoupaged and cuttlebugged
and layered, its gorgeous

New Cards

Some cards I made recently with some new rubber stamps and some of the lovely Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Pads - why didn't I buy these sooner, they are so wonderful to use and give fantastic effects.
























Cute and fun *fat cat* card!





















"New Baby" card, image from one of Joanna Sheen's cd's, stamped monogram using some lovely new stamps I recently bought which are completely interchangeable and great for these little monograms. I used a scallop edged die in my cuttlebug to cut a silver background to mount it on and I am really pleased with the effect - apologies for the flash flare!

Re-vamped Craft Room

At long last my craft room is finished - and here are the pictures of it - better late than never!

No Posts!

Just don't seem to have had the time to post anything on here lately! I really must get better organised and start taking pictures of my cards and putting them on here. At the moment though my craft room is having a complete re-vamp - hooray! The downside is that all the crafty stuff is in boxes all over the house so I can't make anything at all. The ceiling has been done and plastered and one of the walls has also been plastered as it was really rough and nasty! Hopefully the new flooring will go down next week when all the painting is finished then its off to Ikea for some lovely new storage furniture and shelving. Then comes the fun part - getting everything sorted and put back in a lovely, clean, organised and bright craft room - yay, can't wait :)

Thank You!

This is a thank you to all the lovely ladies from the TFC Forum who sent me cards to cheer me up while things were tough. I received such a lovely array of cards and here they are so you can enjoy them too.

THANK YOU ALL

Kath's lovely index box she made me, complete with some index cards to get me started - still trying to decide whether to use it for recipes or garden stuff though Kath :)

Sara's 'hug' card - this made me smile when I opened the envelope.

This one was from Marion R - great expression on the owl's face.

Maggie's wistful lady - lovely rubber stamp.

Lovely sillouette image from Lizz.

Linda's gorgeous butterflies - you cant see on the scan but they are really irredescent and really pop out at you.

Such a cute kitty from Glennis.

This one is from Eileen and looks amazing - note to self, ask how she did this :)

A lovey card from Colleen, I really like the image of the lady's face.
