Another set of christmas tags

Hi All

I have just completed another set of 10 Christmas tags commissioned by Lyn ( she loved her last set)

This time she wanted them all different which was quite a challenge, but I am pleased with the outcome.

She will receive them tomorrow I hope she likes them !

I have made these using Deco patch papers, I have also made many Christmas capsules and attached these.  I have used vintage lace and buttons for finishing touches.

Here they all are !

I'm glad I managed to get these finished as I feel the baby could be here any day now.

Newly finished tags and play date cafe challenge PDCC104

I have also entered this tag into this weeks play date cafe challenge PDCC104

play date cafe challenge

I have only shown you 1 as they are all similar, I have had great fun making these and am pleased with their outcome, I am now going to make more tags in a similar way,  using an angel theme. I have used Deco patch paper from my local crafting shop, Moments and made fabric holly leaves, I covered these in glossy accent. Then added two red beads as berries.

I used a stamp for the writing and then ripped this and stained with ink.  I made the robin rinchie, and added vintage lace onto ribbon, with a button for decoration.

I hope you like it !

Newly finished Aceo's

Hi All, well here are some newly finished Aceo's I have painted.  I have also made a vintage look collage Aceo as well, I thought I'd try something different, after looking at so many of you inspiring blogs!

I am going to place these on Ebay this eve.

' Balmy Day'

'Glassy'

'Dream'

I think I will make a few more Atc's in the style of Dream, I had,  great fun with it and made a rinchie filled with glossy accent, filled with a cutout cupcake and sparkly embossing powders.

The butterfly is cut out of velum and covered in glossy accents.

I am growing huge now, the babys dates are 3 weeks larger (help) trying to get crafting time in as it helps me relax, and makes time fly by.  It wont be long now!

Hellooooo All, I'm so slack I know, I just cant seem to get much done lately, what with getting ready for the new baby.  Most jobs are now done so I am going to concentrate on some me time, which for me involves lots of crafting.

I have just made a vintage card out of some vintage fabrics that I had.  I also sewed a vintage button in the middle.  The card background if made out of some lovely tissue paper that my birthday present came wrapped in!

I glued this all over and then added the flower, the stem came from a paper swap.

Here is the card:

ENJOY!

Have a great day.

Card making weekend

Hi All,

Thanks for all being so patient with me,

 Have been busy with all the family home for the holidays, but this weekend had a much needed card making session.

I have made these using bits of Flotsam and Jetsum that I collected from the beach.

I have also got a fantastic sunset photo to share, this was taken on Friday night !

I have also nearly finished a new painting that I am working on, this is to be a gift for a friend.

I will show you all this in the next few days.

My pregnancy is going well, and we have found out that we are having a baby boy.
