Mini notelets - Stampin up stamps

Thought I'd use my new stamps from Stampin Up to make these mini notelets. They are 8cm square in size. I had bought 8.5cm and 7cm square envelopes a while ago, so needed to use them for something. I used my stamp positioner to get the stamp design in the right place.
I didn't do very well with the trees but practice makes perfect they say.

Help with Pop Up card project - Beatrix Potter

I was asked to help a school girl to make a pop up card for a talk at her school. I made the project up for her along with a second set of materials for her to demo at her talk. I hope she gets on ok.
I used my Crafters Companion Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit cds again.
I cropped the scene so I could add extra grass to the bottom half of the card. I used a couple of layers of the decoupage characters for the inside.

Bargain Ribbon Purchase

On a visit to town today to return an item I popped into the £ shop. I found that they now stock packs of lovely ribbon for just £1 per pack. 5 single metres on each card.

Beatrix Potter cds

I decided to use my Crafters Companion Beatrix Potter cds for the first time today by making this project from the Peter Rabbit cd.
I changed it slightly as I didn't have enough of the pale blue card to mat and layer the decoupage topper and the gingham paper. I inked around them instead and used the only blue ribbon I had to tone in. I printed it on HP semi glossy photo paper.

Remember Birthday Giveaway!!!

Click here for your chance to win some crafting goodies. Time is running out.......

This giveaway is now closed.

Finished at last!!

I finished the nursery aprons last night after taking an evening off on Thursday. I didn't do anything on Thursday but lounge about and watch tv after getting home from work. Although the kids have only been back for 3 days it feels like several weeks. After finishing the aprons I relaxed and watched the final of Celebrity Master Chef. It was good and I agreed with the choice winner.
There will be no Fun Friday Challenge this week it will be back next week.

Sewing instead of card making!

I have been busy sewing nursery aprons for a friend of mine. She has two friends who have children going to nursery next week. I used to make lots of these for a local nursery (40 per year) they were all the same for the school. Had to give up as it got too much. I make individual aprons which are made from lovely kiddie fabrics just when asked.

I spent the other night preparing packs for my craft class next month. I still have a couple of items to prepare then I will be finished.

I was very tempted to buy the Cricut Cake machine even though I don't even make cakes very often. They made it look great on Ideal World!!!!!!
