Workshop Wonder

Hello everyone,

and a VERY special Hello to my new followers,

thank you for your support!

I was a very lucky birthday girl recently,

and was able to attend one of Eileen Godwin's Workshops.

A great big thanks Eileen for the inspiration for my

swaps for team training recently!

Can you tell what it is yet?!

Here's a pile of 'em

One of the tags inspired by Eileen

A closer view

Just to show the scale.....errrrr not very big!

I made tags because there was a lot of us in the swap.

(probably took me longer than if I'd done a card!)

Took some watercolour paper,

a jar from About The Label, stamped and embossed,

butterflies from Perpetual Birthday Calendar, also embossed,

then watercoloured the jar with inks,

tied some twine around it's neck, added a label,

then Butterfly Basics provided the larger butterfly with a Rhinestone.

Mounted on two punched tags....Scalloped Tag Topper, and Note Tag.

I will show you the delights from Eileen's workshop another day.

I hope you have a fab week,

and hopefully lots of crafty time.

Berry Basket

Happy Friday everyone.

it's the weekend!!!!!

Thought I'd share some makes with the

fabulous Berry Basket Die:

First up, a blackberry bliss with doilies and the bow builder punch

(I'm lovin' my stapler!)

Then, I'm sure you'll find the original, and better, examples of these cute cards

on Pinterest coz my notes have gone missing...oops

(please claim credit if it's you)

Left has a seed packet tucked in,

Right holds a basket full of blooms,

on a tag that pulls out

I love interactive cards,

and the seed packet is a gift in a card too!

Have a fantabulous weekend peeps!

March Rudolph Day

Hello, thanks for stopping by.

Today I'm sharing some more christmas cards

EEEEEK!

It is very satisfying to have a stash of cards ready for the big day,

and the incentive is the challenge run by ScrappyMo

Rudolph Day, which is on 25th of each month.

Here's what I made.....

Then I made some more....

I used the lovely Festival of Trees again,

using up some snippets I've had for aaaaages!

Do hop over to ScrappyMo and see all the other projects,

and please come back and see me sometime,

I really do appreciate your visits.

Butterfly Basics

I've had a challenging fortnight, including my birthday,

Mother's Day,

Alan badly cutting a wrist, and a rotten cold,

so I've lots of blogging to catch up on......

For my Team celebration, I supplied some makes to go with their gifts

Here's one shamelessly cased from Vanessawebb,net

which I adored making, and stroking!

We used Irresistibly Yours DSP inked with Coastal Cabana Ink,

stamped over using Butterfly Basics, and edged with silver embossing powder.

The next layer used the stencil from the Artisan Embellishment Kit,

silver ink and again edged with silver EP.

Topped with two butterflies, the smaller again in silver EP,

all topped off with a silver button.

Here's what some of them came up with.

Clever girls!

Here's what we used:
