WOYWW

Still using the ironing board in the spare room as a workdesk and have been playing with the new Create a Critter cart. I'm loving the bird and dino with floral papers! Must actually use these and not just put them in a box.

Also got some images for an altered tag swap on UKS and some charms that will go on wedding invites.

New Home Card

Here's a new card using papers from Kirsty Wiseman's CD (Colour Me Crazy). I used a sketch from Crazy Card Crew challenge blog and decoupaged!

Polka Doodles challenge

To use texture (bazzill), dimension (foam pads) and a down load (cupcake case).

Simple Cards

Sometimes simple is best!

Butterfly Card
I love my Tonic Butterfly punch (a recent purchase). The butterfly is so pretty and if you just glue down the centre line, it becomes added dimension on your projects.

Paper is from Kirsty Wiseman, Kaiser gemstones, AC thickers and I've also used my new border punch and a trusty scallop punch. Here's some detail:




Chick Card

This is the simplest card to make - a scrap of paper, inked at the edges, a stamped chick and a Chipboard heart inked and covered in crackle glaze. It's also one of my most favourite cards that I am struggling to give away. I'm hopeful that if I post pics of cards I love, then I can give them away and still have a pic to remind me!

and some detail:

Enjoy the sunshine!

WOYWW or WOYIBW??

It's that time of the week again and "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday" - BUT, due to an enforced tidy up of the kitchen table (my usual Workdesk) I am relegated to the ironing board in the spare room! It's not a bad place to be - no flying baby food (mushed carrot and glitter don't go so well together) and the ironing board can be set to a height that suits me.

Even better - I have the perfect excuse to not do any ironing (cue "sorry, the artwork is drying" and such excuses).

Have been playing with my new Create a Critter cart (on windowsill), stickers from Accessorize and some 6 x 6 pages in progress for a swap on UKS. Really must tidy up at some stage...

Card featured on "Cards" Blog!

One of my card designs has been featured on the Cards blog here (it's the 7th pic down!):

It was entered in this week's challenge and was a lovely surprise to see it there! There are some other fab designs on there too - great for inspiration when your mojo goes for a burton!

PS Husband response to my news: "Oh great - what do you want on your toast?"

Playing with Felt...

It's not very often that I sew by hand (unless a button has fallen off my shirt), but I had a play today with some felt sheets, felt flowers from American Crafts and buttons from my stash.

I hand cut two size of circles from a black felt sheet and layered them with the flower and button, sewing through the whole lot to secure. Then hand stitched round the edges for a cute embellishment. Think I might use one as a brooch and not sure about the other one!
