Heart of Glass

Evening!

 Hope you had a nice Friday!  My Fridays are always spent the same, trying to get the kids to do their homework and then errands...what an interesting life...!!!

Anyways, wanted to share with you a picture I did as I have loads and loads of the little glass dewdrop thingies!  Never know what to do with them, and I am a heart person, so this is what I came up with for mine and my husbands dressing room - what else is there to say to each other?!!


 Recipe: glass dew drops, glue gun, silver card, deep frame, rub on quote (all you need is love),

Giving Thanks...


Hi! 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  I am so chuffed...why??? Because it RAINED!!! I mean big huge spots of rain!  Unfortunately it was in the night, but hey ho, I'm a happy lass!!  
I made this card below for a friend as a little thanks for doing something for me recently.  Never done holes in a card before but quite happy with how it worked out.  Also, I was soooooooooo pleased that I found my spellbinders butterfly die - I thought I had lost it!   Be ready to see many more cards in the future with this butterfly on it, I love it!



 Recipe: Prima Botanical card, Sizzix circle die, Spellbinders butterfly die, pearls from stash, Keiser Rub Ons, Embossing folder (for butterfly)

Pretty in Pink


Evening! 

Well, what a chuffin day I have had....tried to make my own rub ons for a card and put the wrong accetate in my brand new printer....  Yep, I melted the accetate to the inside of the printer and now its fit for the bin.  I wouldn't mind, but only got it in November after begging husband to buy me a really good one for my cards....d'oh!!!
Therefore, tonights offering is not a card...its a little hanging I made for my daughters door, that she has decided has to go about her bed instead!

Again, I have handsewn them so they are not straight by any means, but at least I got to use some of my new cutie pink buttons!!




 I just noticed that I seriously need to change my watermark function...whooppps!!! Should be 2012!!!

Anyway, I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:

 Hooked on Craft #15 - Try something new - have never done a garland like this before!
