More Jewellery!

Just wanted to firstly thank everyone for the wonderful comments about my first set i did, i was so chuffed with all the lovely things that you all said, really sweet thank you xxx

Here is another set i made, Mum has her eye on this one ;-) she may get it as a prezzie?

Have been busy working in the background for Crafters Companion, so apologies for lack of posts, but will catch up soon!

Can i also say thank you for the blog awards i was given, really lovely to know that people are inspired and that means alot.

Till next time, take care

Look what i did!

Well i have been away for few days - due to a work related injury!!! taking the safety cap off the Martha Stewart Circle cutter and cutting my finger open - had to go to Minor injuries to get it sorted! how daft eh?

Anyway.... had a go at making some jewellery! was i chuffed with myself when i made these? Mum couldnt believe i made them, hubby said they looked shop bought, so i was pretty over the moon by the reaction. The photo doesnt do the colours justice, they more a yellow colour and almost look illuminous! but shall definitly be making some more! Gotta get used to the jump rings tho, and doing the twisting stuff, but its getting there!

Hope yo like them?

 This is the whole set - Necklace, earrings and bracelet....

.... and this is close up of bracelet!

Hope to see you soon, Take care

Patchwork Polly

I made these 2 cards several months ago for the release of Jayne Nesterenko's Patchwork Polly set. I loved the set as soon as i saw them, they are just so adorable, think these 2 are my favourite. I met Jayne at Ally Pally (which shows how long ago they were done!) and told her then how much i loved the stamps, as she was demoing them before the launch, so it was really lovely to see her using them too. I didnt get to send them off for the launch as i was really poorly and hence, they didnt get sent off! not sure if ive posted them before, but as they were on my camera and ive been uploading them all to the PC, i thought i better post them! Apologies if they have been on before!

Thanks for stopping by, and hopefully see you again soon?

Bloomin' with Beauty

As soon as i saw this stamp set, i had to have it, it is just so pretty, the set is called 'Bloomin' with Beauty' from Stampin' Up! and i just adore this flower, there is a little bee in the set too along with 2 text stamps and another beautiful stamp of hydrangeas in a pot. 

(Remember if you want to order any products from Stampin' Up! please feel free to email me and i can order them for you!)

This is the same stamp again, but using the En Francais background stamp (also from Stampin' Up!). I think text/script backgrounds look really stunning on cards, ive seen alot of cards with text/script on them, and they look so effective.

Obviously i couldnt avoid a bit of distressing on this one! had to!!!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon

Take care

another distressed one!!!

As soon as i saw this stamp set from Sugar and Spice, i had to have them, they are just so pretty! Love the flower, altho i think its a dandelion isnt it? Anyway, the stamp set was the inspiration, remembered i had a cuttlebug embossing folder with similar flower so thats the background, stamped all over a plain piece of card the leaves from the set and yes it was all distressed! but i do like how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon?

The other box....

Remember about a week ago, i altered a box, said i was making another one, well this is it!

Went a abit OTT on the distressing on this one, was having so much fun!

The stamp is from Craft Stamper magazine, brilliant magazine, so inspirational!

Anyway, here's the box, which i bought from QD and only cost about £1.99! plain wooden box, still have one more to alter, which is a jewellery box, so not sure what im going to do with that one yet?

Using Tim Holtz stamps (love his stuff!) i stamped all over the box, which id covered in acrylic paint and had to distress before i stamped like a loony over it! Flowers had in a box for ages, thought they went really well?

Hope you like it?

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon?
