Mothers Day Flowers!

 Hi! 

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm having a lazy day today and enjoying being spoiled on Mothers Day!

It's been a really busy week at work, and yesterday was spent visiting family then some crafty time with some like minded ladies.  Very relaxing!  We were doing some decopatch on eggs for Easter.

Today I thought I'd have a look through some dies that I've not used for a while and came across one set I hadn't used at all!  Great fun making this really easy 3d flower pot!   And it folds flat which would make it a great card! 

I hope you like it, and that you're having a lovely Sunday! 

A Sweet Treat

 Hi! Welcome to a miserable Monday here in central Scotland.  It's not stopped raining and there's the threat of snow later.

I've not been spending much time crafting today but I have made this little card! 

Birthday Fishes

 Hi! 

Sunday, day of rest! (day to avoid housework and look forward to a lovely lamb roast for dinner!)

And time to play! 

I think this may be one of my new favourite stamp sets. It's Stampin' Up! "A Fish and a Wish".  I love the way they have done the textured look on the fish and the fact you get a great splatter dots stamp to use in the background. 

I've gone with Orchid Oasis and Pretty Peacock as the colour scheme for this one.  Orchid Oasis is one of my favourite colours ever!  

Hope you're having a lovely crafty weekend!

Just monkeying around

 Hi! 

Happy Saturday!   It's a cold one here today and we're supposed to get snow... but no sign of it so far!

I've been having a crafty play today... I've not used my alcohol markers for ages so I thought I would try and get back in the habit!  I've used this little guy from Whippersnapper (which I've had for years!) and coloured him using Stampin' blends.

Nothing fancy on this card but I think I'm starting to prefer a CAS look generally. 

I missed this one

 Hi! I really thought I had posted this pic before. Back in Oct last year I started playing with Jesmonite.  I'm still hooked and these are just some of the little trinket trays I have made.  These are so easy and quick to make! I've been using Stampin' Up! re-inkers to colour the mix and they've set really well.

They are really handy to have on your craft desk if you are making small die cuts or beading as I typically lose things! 

It's coming up carrots

Hi! 

Wow, I can't believe my last post here was October!  I have still been crafting in that time, maybe not as much as I would have liked. I've just not felt like blogging even though lots of positive stuff has happened.  I'll try and catch up! 

All is good though and I'm hoping this will be the start of a seriously fun crafty year!  I suppose the main crafty resolution will be to use what I have!  Although I know that won't happen! Not with so many lovely new crafty items out there.   

Today I've been playing with the new "Thanks a Bunch"  from Stampin Up! which was available as a Sale-a-bration reward.  To be honest, I wasn't really sure if I would use this set but it was really quite fun, and I love the finished effect on the carrots!  I've layered white on white which I think gives a nice effect. The tartan paper is from Memory Box (Madras Plaid Coral and Green).

I hope you like it! 

Hope you're having a lovely day!
