New Bracelets Made yesterday.

I actually made three bracelets last night, a childs one for a neighbour.

Then these two, the pink one above is for the buyer, she asked for as much bling as possible.

The blue one is a gift, and I was asked not to put too many beads on it for her.

I just hope she is happy with them both!

I really enjoyed working with blue for a change, it is my Favourite colour!

Even though this one doesn't have so many beads there are enough to make it special.

Included are two silver charms and three glass beads.

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!

Had a go at a self portrait!

This is a 'cringe' moment..

Also a little shaky on the focus!

While the football was on last night!

While My other Half! was watching the match, I sat listening to music, trying to hear it over his shouts of glee with each goal! I got creative and made these two cards.

The one above is 3d decoupage, even though the picture does not show all the layers!

I thought it was a cute image for that most important first birthday.

This card I just had to make, the stick on label Tag was just shouting to me to be used.

It has a delicate glitter effect that is just so lovely.

I wasn't very productive, but took my time over these two.

I now have one song running through my head 'falling into you' by Celine Dion.

It has beautiful words and so much meaning.

Wow, first day without much crafting!

I am amazed, I have gone a couple of days now not doing much crafting, I have made 2 cards this evening but I have yet to take pictures. My mind has been else where, and being kept busy with other things. My lovely little boy has shared his cold germs with us all, so I'm feeling sorry for myself. Plus of course any time I become off colour or ill my Back will be the one thing that suffers the most. So any time crafting or sitting at the computer is quite uncomfortable.

Sending you all some hugs for tonight.

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.
