Kinder candy !! and new years post

Busy this week making up candy bouquets for Valentines Day. Hope the recipient loves this Kinder creation.

Pocket Letter craziness continues as I receive them from all over the world it certainly has been keeping me busy and I apologise for my abscence, this new year I am going to attend to the blog more regularly.

Stampin UP

Hey everyone, thought I would add Stampin Up, please go and take a peek at their products, there's lots of lovely things to see, project ideas and specials. If you love Halloween  like me, you are going to love the Halloween paper currently on clearance.

I played around with the fabulous, Tap Tap Tap stamp set  and Gorgeous Grunge , and two of the wonderful ink colours available in the stamp pads, Pool Party and Crumb Cake to create this quick and easy card.

Who knew that paper and card could produce a typewriter !!

Its a friend's birthday tomorrow, she works in the office where I work , what other gift box would you give but a trusty vintage typewriter.  I cranked up the Silhouette Cameo and cut the pieces required to make this project. 

It takes time and a bit of concentration as you have to line up and glue correctly to let the typewriters shape to form.

I added my own sentiment to look like it had been freshly typed on ther and voila!  a gift box which  you cannot buy in the shops.  Thats the beauty of handmade, creating projects you cannot buy anywhere else.

I hope she loves it.

Good Morning everyone !!  Thank goodness its not raining !!  Yesterday I had prepped my front garden for the stone delivery this morning and had wanted some greenery. This is what I found, I call it Hedge in a box, its actually artificial ivy screening, but hey it gives you instant greenery and has cheered my garden up no end.

.

Started potting and placed these little cuties on my hedge !!  Cant wait for stones today.

Will be sure to keep you updated.

I have started a  Niche challenge I saw on www.blog.paperartsy.co.uk. Reading through the blog, I was inspired by the Niches blog post. As you all know I love altered art and mixed media, so this was right up my street. please watch this space for the finished product. There are little pieces of 'me' in this project, a bee which is the meaning of my name, a thistle button to represent where I come from and a skull for my love of all things Halloween, nestled on a cord and atop an old tin pan, I really enjoyed creating this altered time piece.

Hi everyone, Here are some of the recent samples

Great dies, you can make super scenic cards, wedding invites, new home cards, really your imagination will take you to a new level of crafting as you use one , two, three or more of these super dies.
