brooches made from stash

Last Saturday Rena and I went to see SPEY FEST crafts show and while going from stall to stall I saw loads of Hat Pin Brooches. I had these felt flowers in a prize i had won for a competition. Sew here are some of my finished ones. Goodness knows what i will do them but they were fun to make.
will post another photo when all completed.

re vamp of a HEART box

This little heart box started off life as box with Gluten free Truffles, my friend Rena bought them they were very very tasty. I have been going through my stash & we all know how things stack up. Now I have a lovely little box.  This would go really well with Bab's and Paul's bedroom but box might be too small.
It might get used for storing small earrings or even get sweets in it for someone

MY TO DO LIST squiggles competition

I have a really bad memory these days its an age thing, and need to write everything down so my to do list is at the back door so we jot down reminders, It so happens that I have put it on SQUIGGLES HOME DECOR

Five Part Name Card inspiration crafters companion

 Crafters Companion was the inspiration for this 21st birthday card for our neighbour Karen

 she is a lover of donkeys hence the cover. Each letter has 21 on the back . I have decorated each individual

 section with delicate silver stickers ,not too many. Keep it minimal.

this was the first part of this type of card and I think I will try downsizing to make a smaller version of it.
this has taken hours and hours and i hope she likes it.  Watch this space!

Squiggles Mask uline copetition

This card has been made with all black and white papers and an underground map as the background I shared this idea on the on the little cards i made for my grandson. I am using old maps that my dad had when he was gliding many years ago. This is a competition with Squiggles and they are for males and need to be used on them. I gave both my boy's denim in the way of a suit for 1 and waistcoat for the other one . It is amazing just what can be used as a background.

A wet Sunday with new punches

 Sunday saw me playing with 2 new Stamping-up punches I cut out in the bright green card and once again I have not put a sentiment on yet

Rena and I spent a lovely demo at Cullen Crafts in which we were shown these cards and just by folding  carefully you make 2 pockets one on the front the other inside and gift ideas are endless, money,gift cards,seeds, teabags  etc. I will link with Cullen crafts and send this photo these cards are not finished yet so will be back with the finished ones. see you soon

Year Book of hand made cards

 I saw this book of pussy cards in Aldi and got the Idea of putting a selection of my handmades in each months pocket/

 I gave one to my mum and she never forgets family birthdays. The book cost £5 or £6 and makes a great gift.

 they only have them once a year and well worth the money. I am sure anyone would be happy with a gift like this
