Butterfly blues

Hey Crafters

I thought it was about time I put something else on my blog, I did this a couple of weeks ago at a friends house and I have recently made it into a card,  I have to say that I was really chuffed with this but my friend always somehow inspires me when Im around at hers, but the trouble is I cant sleep on the night because my head is full of ideas then.  Trouble is when I do finally get to sleep I wake up and then I forget all my ideas. (note to self must start writing stuff down).lol

Anyway I reckon every crafter needs a friend that inspires you  or even if you inspire each other, but if this friend is reading my blog then hopefully she knows who she is,  I just want to say a big thank you your a brilliant friend.

Happy crafting

As lovely as a Tree

Hey Crafters

Im back again,  I have had a little time on my hands today and I wanted to chill out a little,  and what better way than crafting, its a great way to unwind I think.

I did this brayering about a week ago and decided that I would incorporate Lovely as a tree, im quite chuffed at how its turned out.

I will try and blog at the beginning of the week next week as will be busy starting a new job.  I was made redundant Monday and start my new job Tuesday so thats all good and move into new house all beening well on the 17th December, so lets hope there are no more surprises that are going to stand in our way.


Happy crafting

Sparkly & Bright

Hey Crafters

Well Its been a while since I have blogged.  I've been busy with work and also getting mortgage offers and sorting solicitors out, all very exciting stuff, well it is for me and Ian anyway, and although I have done some crafting it never seems enough to keep the blog going for a week or so.  So, what I have decided to do is while I'm building up my business and also moving house I shall just do what I can and as a when and then when I'm settled in then I will try and do regular blogs, maybe weekly or daily not quite sure yet.

Anyway over the weekend I did manage to do some cards so I'm going a couple on here and hope you like....


I love the sparkly and bright I think its so versatile and with all the new colours too the possibilities are endless

Cottage Wall Designer Paper

Hey Crafters

Im loving the Cottage Wall Paper and any excuse to use my bind it all......

So I thought I would use two beer mats and cover with cottage wall designer paper and then on the inside co-ordinate with Rich Razzlebery card stock, and I used some more of my bargains that i got over the weekend and used my bind it all. I then decorated with a sentiment from whimscal word and layered it up

I decorated with Rich Razzleberry ribbon and also the whisper white ribbon.......................................

Hope you like, Im trying not to use the flight of the butterfly too much in case people get bored.....................

until tomorrow...................oh and apologies for last photo it looks like I have been on the drink, which I havent, honestly..........

Jot Pad

Hi Crafters

This is so simple I bought a load of jotter pads over the weekend, think I paid 90p for about 6 of them maybe more and just thought I would dress them up a bit and sell them at my ladies day.  I have used perfect plum designer paper to cover, and then stamped oscar the owl out and then just used 3d foam pad, it took me minutes, but very quick and easy if any of you do craft fairs.

Hope you like.

Hi Crafters

This is quite self explanatory I have used the whimsical words matted and layered with so saffron and perfect plum and finished with the flight of the butterfly.
