Happy Anniversary

Good morning all, I would like to share with you my first card I have made in a while.

I have this very pretty Anniversary card for good friends and lovely couple Leonie & Colin.

 

 I have used the beautiful Kanban kit

For the box I used some Hunkdory adorable scorable card and a 

pretty topper

 For the shape of the card I used a

Glitter Girls embossing board.

{Fanciful embossing board}

 I finished the card with some pearl hat pins, pearl gems, lilac

ribbon and a silver peel off.

It's been 5 months

Good afternoon to all my crafty friend's & followers.

It's has been 5 months since my last post,

I can not believe how fast time flies.

I have been keeping my self busy but now its time to get back in to my crafting as I have missed it so much.

 All tho I don't have as much time on my hands to craft I will attempt to blog at least once a week.

 

I have gone back to work after many years of staying at home as a loving mum and wife. I am now working at Waitrose. I am working in the Operations section and I enjoy it very much. I have learnt many new thing's from the training I received. I have also met new people and have made many new friends over the past month.

 

Hope all my Crafty friends are doing well?

I'm sorry I left it so long, I'm back now.

Steam Punk

My card featured in post this was made for my friend Nick.

I used my Tinkering with Steam punk Cd from My Craft Studio.

I used one of the frame cards for a different look.

To embellish the frame i cut out some gears using Tim Holtz Gadget gears die from Sizzix.

I then heat embossed them using thick embossing powder.

I cut out Nick's name using the Tim Holtz  Vintage market  die from Sizzix and also heat embossed them.

I hope you like it as its a little different from my usual style cards.

Paintbox Poppets

When i received my Crafters companion Paintbox Poppets Cd i loved it so much I printed off lots of pages and made some cards.

Below are a selection of cards i have made for my friends in Dawns card swap group,  which i am a proud member of.

I sat in the garden and made these cards

when we had the lovely warm weather a couple of weeks ago.

I hope you like them.

Liebster award

 

Early on in the week i was presented with a Liebster award  for my Blog from my lovely friend Diane.

Thank you so much Diane for your kind words.

Here is the link to Diane's blog, it fantastic.

 

http://networkedblogs.com/vb4Vl

Now my job is to present this award to 5 more lucky recipiants.

Liebster is German for Dearest, but can also mean Beloved or Favourite.
Now with all blog awards there are 'rules', and Liebster is no different:

1. Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog - done
2. Link back to the blogger who presented the award to you - done
3. Copy and paste the blog award on your blog - done
4. Present the Liebster Blog Award to 5 blogs of 200 followers or less who you feel deserve to be noticed (see below)
5. Let them know they have been chosen by leaving a comment at their blog.

I'm having trouble finding blogs suitable as the under 200 figure, really narrows things down. Some blogs I follow also don't show the amount of subscribers. Another issue I've found is that people I want to award it to, have already had it.

I'll hold onto it for a while as I don't want to just hand it out for the sake of it; I want it to be given with meaning :-) So watch out; you might be getting one soon.

If I ever reach 200 followers I'll be absolutely amazed and very happy, although then there's a slight pressure to 'perform', which I don't do very well. I'm just me. Doing my do. Enjoying my crafty stuff but if more people want to watch from the sidelines, then that's fine by me.

http://queenofmycraftroom.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentines-day-card-for-your-sweetheart.html

Valentines treat project

Good morning,

I would like to share a project i done for the design team for Queen of my craftroom.

I hope you like it and maybe you could give it ago at you own Valentines treat challenge over at

http://queenofmycraftroom.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentines-day-treat-project.html?spref=fb

 

For this project i used a old jelly bean jar.

I decorated the lid with flat back pearl gems and used glossy accents to hold them in place.

I made the spiral of beads with clear seed beads and wire. I used my glue gun to fix them on to the jar.

For the rose i used a small Marianne flower die and applied glitter to add a little bit of sparkle.

I found a heart that i cut out a while ago on the Cricut and tucked it under the beaded spiral.

To finish off my project i attached a heart charm that can be removed and put on a necklace of phone charm.

Content of the jar is pink tissue paper and some heart shaped chocolates.

I would also like to enter my project in to
