Sweet Treat

Sweet Treat....for me!

Such a thoughtful and unexpected gift,

don't you just love the tag?!

and she's not been crafting long at all!

love the teensie weensie dots she added in the flowers.

Inside some yummy scrummy liscious

Tropical Chocolate Shards,

containing chocolate, chocolate, (dark & milk),

raisins, macadamia nuts, coconut, dried mango,

honey, butter and rum!

Sadly him indoors doesn't like dark chocolate,

so had to eat it all myself!

The sacrifices I make.....!!! 

Have a good weekend

Birthday Boy

Teenage boys might be one of the hardest to design 

a card for, don't you think?!

I had the cut-out background in my old stash,

and just added some really jazzy paper,

and a bit of stamping.

I folded cardstock to fit, then decide not to cut off the excess,

but add a snippet of paper instead.

I used a snippet of card to go behind the 'goal'.

All my snippets mean a visit to the

Snippets Playground yay!

merry wish

Hello, quick one today,

used up some xmas papers, went for a wonky layout,

added some old silver lurex thread that's fine and curly.

Stamp set Festival of Trees

Lots of snippets used, so maybe a trip to the playground...

Hope your week is going well

Vintage Leaves

Have I told you how much I love this set yet?!

It often happens, that when I finally get a new set out of the box,

I can't put it away!

For a friend who loves the great outdoors and walking...

I inked a piece of card, die-cut leaves, added more ink round edges,

gathered and made a 'bouquet'.

I cut strip of burlap in half, pulled out some threads to make a frill,

used the threads to tie a knot.

Lots of bits used here, so off to the Snippets Playground!

Paper pieced balloon

It's the weekend!

Here's another for my bear-mad friend.

There's a group of us a Tonbridge Lacemakers,

that celebrate birthdays, and I volunteered to make the cards. 

I did that fiddly 'out-of-the-die' thing,

except this was only a tiny bit out, and not that well executed.

In order to fit my bear in the oval, I cut around the tip of the balloon,

so it went over the cutty bit of the die.

I'm sure there's some expert videos out there!

I then decided to paper piece a decoupaged balloon,

so might just as well not bothered really!

Hey ho it was fun trying, and practice for when I do another?!

Love that ribbon, and added a few flowers n rhinestones,

plus touch of winkofstella on balloon.

Haven't been to Happy Little Stampers for a while,

so seeyalater!

Have a good one

Lovely as a Tree Vintage Leaf

Was at High Halden craft club,

limited palette of inks,

and possibly my favourite stamp set of all time

Stampin' Up!'s Vintage Leaves

In case the pic is so awful, there's green, purple and brown,

so I grabbed similar pro-markers and coloured a leaf to match,

added a linen thread bow, purple heart (using owl punch),

and simple sentiment.

Going to make this number 3 of the autumn challenges,

 Penny Black, 

Stamping Sensations.

and hop skip to the  Snippets Playground.

Then, I really, really, must do some blog hopping.

Anyone got any spare time for sale?
