Todays beading.

The black set below is for an order.

I have really enjoyed making these today.

Also for the same order are these purple earrings.
Below is a brown bracelet for a mum of a close friend.
She had one for her birthday, then her mum asked for one too!
I like the way that word of mouth works for me.

The cream & brown box is to go with the brown bracelet.
The black and white one will be for the black set.
Just another view of these boxes....
I have yet to get customer feedback on these boxes.
I am not even sure if they will be liked!

My son got dressed up in aid of Children in need

After tears this morning and moaning about not wanting to get dressed up,

he came home from school wearing his fire man outfit.

They all got dressed up in aid of Children In Need.

My little girl has been a princess all day!

Another great breakthrough, My son had an award for being good at dinner time, it had been a big battle, as he cried every morning about stopping at school for his dinner.

I am so proud of him for doing so well.

My daughter has also stopped having a dummy.... the dummy fairy came and took them away last night, we bought her a 'fifi' doll to cuddle and hold when she wanted her dummy.

She went all night without one, and all day today!

It must be the week for good thing's happening.

Here are some more cards!

Here is this card finally finished! With greeting and edges.

Here is a toe tapper card...
Below is a toe tapper card made using some papers from a disc I bought from 'Funky hand'
A blue flip flop card, this is an actual card that opens,
plus a matching blue box.
A yellow flip flop card, with flower and ribbon trim.
Including a matching box.

Here is my little girl as a princess, she wanted to dress up for children

in need like her brother, who should be a fireman! (but changed his mind at the last moment!)

Been a while... but here is what I have been doing!

Its been a while since I last posted, I have been busy, I just haven't had time to post.

Below is a lovely little box I found, ideal to decorate and use for giving bracelets in.

This one has been made to go with a blue bracelet, for a forum friend.

A side view of the box.
Below is a Fan card, I made this last night, cutting out five fan panels,
then putting them together.
Would you believe the hardest part for me was getting the feather stuck to it!I really wanted to make a green card. I love the way this one turned out.
I added the purple flower to it. The contrast seems to work well.
Also adding a folded section to the card with eyelets and ribbon.

Below is my final creation for now.
A gold and lemon shoe card with extra attention paid towards matching flowers.

To accommodate all of these wonderful toe tapper cards I have had to sit and make matching boxes. All pictured below, I love the mix of colours used.

I find making these boxes quite relaxing!

I must be on a roll....

I think I have to much crafting 'Mojo'

I can not seem to stop making cards.

I was inspired by a forum member who had made one like this.

I have had the template for ages.... another thing off my list of have to do's!!

I had to make on with an oriental theme... I always love it!
The ones below were easy to do, once you have the hang of the template!
I really love this floral paper, but only had two strips left.
I was able to make a large and a small shoe out of it.
This card below is made using copper mirror card, with added orange and pink paper.
The final card still needs the final finishing touches.
I will have to make some boxes to suit these shoe cards now....
I hope that they can then go in the post without getting too damaged!

And the winner is.........

And the winner of all this lovely blog candy is.............

Congratulations

Sundays work.... ready for 2008!

Yes I know its a scary thought, 2008 is just around the corner!

With having so many peoples birthdays coming my way I have been busy making these in advance.

First of all I had to finish off the four cards for Christmas I had started.

I have really got into making these fairy cards.

I know same old thing from me! But these have a twist.

I have folded the cards, to make them look different,

also used eyelets and ribbons.I wanted to make this one different and make the fairy stand out from the card!
I am not sure if this one below needs a ribbon adding to the eyelet.I love these colours together, purple and green always look great.

I have also added little gems for the fairies necklace's

The lemon one above is so fresh!

Again below I have used purple and green.

The final one for today.... a pinky red one!

I love adding something different to each card.
