Some more Easter goodies!

I have finally finished the last easter Gift!

Here is the other Easter Pail for my son.

I was going to use the cute Bunnies from Sugar Nellie.

But decided to go for the Tilda Images.

Side one and two... This pail had two

images on it, just like the one for my daughter.

Here are the pails side by side.

I hope my children enjoy having these on Sunday.

I have decided to make a little package of mixed easter eggs

up for my other half.... then he will not feel left out.

Some Craft business...

I have managed to have some time today making some things.

Below is a card for Challenge 13 on the Crafty Carrot forum.

My first go at ever having a go at a challenge.

It had to have 1 square, 2 rectangles and 3 circles on it!

Another block style card, with a die cut snowman on 3d foam.

Again both these Christmas cards are in the colour I have been using this year!

For some reason I am unable to make traditional colour themes this year.

Another altered tin for an order, I enjoyed making it in lemon.

A colour I had not done before. The picture below shows the inside of the tin,

done with tissue paper this time.

some more of my work....

This is my most recent work for another order.

My first ever red bracelet.

As these were going to sisters I decided to give them both the same tibetan silver charms.

Two butterflies for sisterhood and a princess crown from their mum!
And below are the gift tins for the girls.

The pink tin is to go with the pink bracelet, the mauve is to go with the red.I think they will like these.

More beading done and sold!

This is the finished bracelet as blogged before as being a work in progress!

Now finished and gift tin included. This set is for a Mum at my son's school.

I made all of these earrings today, I am really pleased with all I have made.
The ones below were made for my neighbour, she bought them straight away!

I am so pleased these are sold.

The ones below are shell.

These ones are purple, I use these beads on bracelets too!

I really likes these Tibetan silver cross earrings,
I kept them for myself!

(though I had a request for them and sold these last night too!)
The final pair are also Tibetan silver hearts.

Finished this today....

This was finished on Friday, after making 6 in one day! I decided I wanted a bracelet for myself, so here it is. I have always wanted a charm bracelet. Now I have one.

Below is a tin I have made for my Niece's birthday (today) I had to wait for the paint on the lid to dry. So I was able to finish it this morning. I just hope she likes it and the bracelet I made her.
Another view of her tin. I am pleased with the finished results. Its the first time I have ever done painting onto the lid. That is all for today so far, though I will be busy going out to visit later this evening.
It makes me feel old to realise that my niece's and nephews are all hitting double figures.
My children are the babies of our family!

Even though I am not feeling 100% right now, I have turned to my crafting to lift myself up.

I had some orders for bracelets, but I wanted to make something a little different.

This is the first time I have made a multi coloured bracelet.

I was not sure, but now its made I am happy with it.

Again here is another pink bracelet, this is for a forum friend to give to her daughter.

Below is an altered tin that is a gift tin for the pink bracelet.
The side of the tin below.

The one below is another gift tin for a different customer, she asked for it to be purple.

I just hope everyone likes the items I have done for them.

I love the little flower pot on this one.

Once again without my crafting I know I would be feeling sorry for myself....

More crafting this evening

As I was out for the day yesterday, I took some decoupage sheets to cut up and layer while I was with my mum. I like to split the pictures too as I think sometimes there are too many layers. This way I get two cards for the cost of one.Both these Rabbit cards were off one sheet, I thought it was really cute.
I really love this teddy bear sheet, she is so sweet. I managed to do another picture on a smaller scale for an ATC.


Below is the 4th tin I have Altered, I think so Far this one has to be my Favourite.

Another view of my 4th tin.
I really love these embossed stickers, They are a delight to use and to give on cards or even my tins.
There were two cards very much the same though the boarders were different.

The other picture was too blurred. Probably because I was trying to keep sticky children's fingers from touching!
I have made this card for my sister, she is truly my best friend. I love to send her a card every now and then to show her how much she means to me.

This card was made using the other parts to the decoupage sheet... two cards for one again!

Some more Altered tins.

I bought these tins via E-bay, from USA. They are meant to be used for candle making.

I have decorated three so far as Christmas gifts for friends who are crafty, as I will put mojo inspired messages in them for when they need a challenge or when they are stuck for ideas on what to make.

Top picture is the lid of tin 1, next picture is side 1 of tin 1. I used scrapbook papers to decorate the bottoms and sides of all the tins. Added embossed stickers for extra colour.

Below is the other side of tin one.... I think these have come out better than I expected.

Below is tin two, a slightly different flower for the top.
It goes with the colour scheme though.
Side one of tin 2, even though this was my first go at this size of tin... if I do say so myself I think they have worked well.

And the other side of tin 2, I matched the butterfly with the lemon shade of paper.

Below is the final one out of three, this flower is the same as tin 1, but slightly smaller.

Side 1 of tin 3, are you confused yet? I am!
This is the other side of tin 3.... Again I have tried to decorate it in matching colours.
I would love your comments on these.
I have no idea what today will bring in the crafty sense.... time will tell and I will be back to show you all more!

Another creative time....

I can not believe how long it has been since I last added to my blog, though I have been busy trying to get ahead with up coming birthdays and anniversary's, before I begin making my Christmas cards. A big thing that does get in my way though is making ATC's. I have just been unable to stop making them. the one below is called Enchanted.The set of three below are all geisha's I have loved doing oriental theme for quite a while now, it all began when I was asked to do an altered puzzle piece with oriental theme.
These love theme Atc's were made for fun, but they kind of look nice and fun!


Some more love Atc's.

These tins below were an experiment to see if I could alter them... They turned out ok, better than I thought they would. I think they would make nice gift boxes to give my Handcrafted bracelets in.

I had to let my Son know how well he did on his first morning in reception class. He took this card in the following day to show his teacher.

This year I have been married for 7 years, the time has gone so fast. I made this card last night for my dear hubby. Once again though I have made it blue just like our colour theme on our wedding day.

The card below is for my best friend, they have been married 6 years in October. Again I have made it totally without thinking in the matching colour scheme.


This is for a special lady who turns 60 next month. I hope she likes the style of card.

And finally, one card I am really pleased with is this one, for my best friends daughter who is three next month... She loves Disney. This one being her favourite.
