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.............
Caro

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.

Post 70! (and todays efforts)

Can you believe I am posting for the 70th time, even more reason to give away the blog candy tomorrow.
Below is a card I have made for my Daughter, she will be 3 in January.
I have used some papers and letters designed by 'funkyhand'
and the lovely fairy's.
The next card is also for my daughter, from her big brother.
I wanted them to match in colour and style this year.
Its funny, I have said so many times that I would not use traditional colours,
well below are the beginnings of three out of four that have snuck in!
I have to say though, the reindeer need a dark colour behind them!
All three cards need the finishing touches...
Though I am thrilled with the results already.

Don't forget the name will be drawn tomorrow for the blog candy, good luck everyone

I Bet you all thought I wouldn't post today!

I am really late posting today...

I made myself a gift... about time, I have been meaning to do these for ages.
Well I got them made today and I am wearing them now.
The ones below are a gift, they have some glass beads which make them special. I love the colour purple, and always seem to make purple ones every time I make anything.
These are for sale.
Something a little different, a red pair, with cute glass lady birds.
These are for sale also.Below is another colour I haven't done before.
Yellow, they look so pretty in real life, for sale also.I love the next pair, these blue ones are very special.
Again they have glass beads. For sale.Below are two black pairs, these are for my mum to choose from.
Once she has chosen the pair she wants... the ones left will be for sale!

That's all for now... I have no idea what this evening will bring!
