Bicycle

This is today's make.  I am going to try and make at least one thing every day I am in my craft room.  I seem to spend a lot of time just looking at stuff, and if I made something as often as I tidy out my craft room I would be awash with makes.

This was made cutting multi cuts with my cricut, (love craft room, somuch better than my gypsy).  I have covered a MDF plaque with a wood effect paper, glued a spellbinder wheat die, and hot glued the bike onto the plaque, hoping this will be strong enough to hold.  It is for my sister, I hope she likes it.

60th birthday card for a dear friend

I had a vision of what I wanted this card to look like, it is almost there.  Made using spellbinder dies, cheery lynne and crafts too dies and my cricut.  The lattice was bought already cut, have to say it is a bit wider than I would have liked, but no way was I cutting this by hand.  The card itself is made using grand spellbinder dies and of course my trusty friend the ebosser.

Birthday card for my great nephew

My 3 year old nephew is getting a bike for his 3rd birthday, so I made him this card. The little boy is a crafters companion stamp, the Trouble stamp is Smirk and the bike is cut from Heritage cartridge on my cricut.

White on white

I had a white on white challenge to do, wan't sure about this, but am really happy with the end result.  I did three different projects, but I'll only show one for the moment and show you the rest once published.

Charity cards

I haven't published anything for ages, although I have been crafting.  I do voluntary work for Cancer Research and have been making cards and notepads for them to see for mother's day.  The cards are not necessarily my current style, but they have helped me use up some of my stash I have had for a little while, it's funny how your style and techniques change as you craft more and more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

I've been busy over the last couple of weeks making Christmas pressies, so thought I would share some of them with you.

List books and post it note sets made for my friends.

Calendar and post it note set made.  This is a clever idea I picked up from You Tube, the calendar stands with the aid of a bulldog clip.

Another calendar 

And yet another calendar. 

Birthday card for a 2 year old.

I was asked by one of my friends if I would make a birthday card for her grandson's 2nd birthday.  He likes Thomas the Tank Engine and could I add a baby in a crib somewhere as he is getting a little brother or sister in a couple of months.  The crib was just a step too far, so I added a baby's pram, couldn't think of any other way of combining.
