Not felt up to blogging

I havent felt up to blogging this week.

The main reason being that

6yrs ago this month I lost my first baby.

Even though I have managed to get through

this rough time, ok.

I still felt a little sad and low, needed some

time for myself.

Its been lovely to come back on here and

find that I have been given some awards and that I have been

tagged.

Thank you Mel for this tag

Some ATC's made for swaps

I have to admit I have not been in the mood

to make ATC's.

Though I had joined in on two swaps

on the Cardmaking and Papercraft forum.

The first is called let them have wings.

The first one is a gift for the person running the swap.
Then there are three very much alike for the swap.

The other swap was called oriental.The swap was three for three, but I made a 4th

for the swap organiser.The stickers on both of these are silk.
At the moment all I want to make are cards

and fat book pages.

Happy Easter to you all...

Happy Easter to you all today.

The final butterfly pages.

I have finished my butterfly pages! Yeah!

I actually made 5 today but forgot to photo the final one!

Now I can think about making some fairy/angel pages!
The purple ones are always my fav!

I am thrilled with the pages I have been having.I would love to know what you think.

How to make the Gift Pouches.

Here are some instructions on how to make

these lovely gift pouches.

You need:

Paper or card 6.5inches x 4.5 inches ( for the size above)

Scissors, Double sided tape.

Ribbler.

Cut your paper to size.

Mine were 8inches x 6inches in the photos.

Any size works well.Put double sided tape along both long sides

and across one short side.

Bring the short sides together,

to make a tube (like a toilet roll centre)Squash down one end.Ribble it.Fill with goodies.Twist and squash other end.Ribble it.Finish and decorate as you like!

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.
