Christmas Wall Hanger






Afternoon. Here is a little project I did this morning. It's a christmas wall hanger, another item to add to my home made decorations. :) For this project I used craft paper and the dotty paper I had in my stash box. Think it came with a magazine. The punch outs are from Making Memories, the fabric ribbon is from Ewe and Me, the pins are from Bee Crafty and the snow flakes are from Hobby Craft. I managed to squeeze in a little Tilda angel image too, and coloured her in pro markers. The little calendar is from Hobby Craft too. I attached the bits and pieces together with craft wire and made some little paper beads at the bottom. This project took me about an hour from start to finish so it was a fast one. Had lots of fun making it never the less. I am away to make some soup now for my boys when they come home from school starving as ever. Thanks for looking.

Card and matching bauble






Evening. Finally got time this evening to prepare a card and a christmas tree bauble for my lovely granny, that lives in Finland. She is past 90 and an amazing person, so I thought I'd make her something extra on top of her presents this christmas. I liked this weeks Mojo sketch so much, thought I'd be perfect for even a small project, like the bauble. For Christmas stamping all year the challenge is "your favourite sketch", I have a few favourites, but this one is definitely one of them. I purchased the bauble last year in Tesco's, it came in a pack of four. It was very cheap, if I can remember right it was £5 or less for the pack. The papers I used on these little projects are from Paper Adventures and The Paper Company Studio. For the card I used a little Tilda angel image and for the bauble her little star. I coloured these in with pro markers. The bling is from the poundshop, and the ribbon on the bauble from stash. On the back of the bauble I put a little picture of my three boys, her great grand children and I put some white tiny antique glass beads in the bauble too. They are from Mill Hill. There was a bit on hang cutting involved in this, but I also used my cuttlebug machine and some spell binders to get the shapes. Thank you for coming past. :)

Glitter Tilda snow scene card




Afternoon. Winter is surely coming, it's very frosty here today. So fittingly I have made a christmas card featuring a Tilda image masked onto a snow scene. I coloured this in with pro markers and used some Reeves Glitter Glue to make it shiny. All the papers, ribbons, buttons and cutouts are from a freebie from a magazine I got my hands on called "Simply Homemade", really love the colours. The bling is from Ebay, the wooden snowflakes from Hobby Craft and the pins are from Bee Crafty in Elgin. The little aqua snowflake was a brad from Dovecraft, but I cut the bits at the back of it to use it as a charm. The little wooden "merry christmas" sign I purchased in a local shop called Ewe and Me for £1. Had lots of fun making this. Nearly sorted with all my christmas cards for this christmas, been doing it for months. :) Have a good week.

Sparkling Tilda




Ohh...bought this magazine today called "Homemade". Didn't know you were going to get gorgeous papers and embellishments with it. So I have used some of the papers to make this card. Surprised, papers were good quality, sometimes when you get freebies from magz, they are too flimsy to make anything with, but these were good. I used a Magnolia Tilda image and masked her onto a heart and coloured her in with pro markers. She is sparkly, perfect for todays bon fire night with all the fireworks. Everything on this card is from the freebies from the mag, except the image and the pins, which are purchased in Bee Crafty in Elgin. Thanks for coming by, better get myself in gear to take the boys our for some fireworks. Have a great night.

Finally weekend, and a bit of rest after the busy week I have had with my boys. Tonight is bonfire night so that will be fun. Here is a project I have made, I am determined to have lots of home made christmas decorations so here is one of them. I have made christmas bunting using lots of Magnolia Tilda and Edwin images. And objects too. I coloured all of them in with pro markers. The papers and punch outs and bling is all Making Memories. The wooden hearts are from Hobby Craft and the gorgeous fabric ribbons I purchased in Ewe and Me in Aberlour. T:) here was a lot of hand cutting involved in this. My hands were in agony afterwards. Haha...anyways so much fun, tempted to make another one...:) Shame it's a good few weeks until you can put your christmas decorations up, I have loads now. Thanks for coming by and have a lovely weekend. I am entering this project in these challenges;
