I love love love craft card stock stamped onto but I am really struggling to find a good white ink pad that will stamp onto the kraft and really pop out at you, so I used my gel pen.

This is a very special heart made for a very special person (cant tell you who as its a secret!).

What a busy day!!

Well, Grandma Bumps, Lisa & April came up for the weekend. And we had decided to have an arty weekend. We went in to see Sandra at the Craft House - she is so lovely, & gave me the biggest cuddle (which I needed!! Thanks :))) she had all her girls in you can see they really love going and really look upto her.

Anyways, the craftyness is rubbing off and here is what we did ... being the naughty auntie that I am I forgot to take a picture of Aprils project as it was drying - sorry April!!

Paint till your Hearts content!

Just a quickie as Im off to bed, inspired by all my painting recently I decided to make use of the small canvas that has been sitting in a cupboard for the last 6 years!!! Until recently, I hadn't picked a pencil or paintbrush for years. I used to love painting so Im really really pleased with this....


not quite finished !!




Im NOT happy with her eyes though, they look possesed, so any ideas for fixing them gratefully received!!

Look what I made on Sunday at the Craft House, she has a nice little spot above our kitchen door! I love her... had a great day with Donna & Vikki, and cant wait to go back and get inspired again!! x

Try something new today!

Well, I have had a fab day doing something new! I made these today at The Gift House in Marley Hill - Sandra is fab, a woman after my own heart, she had so much patience. I cant wait to go again! haha The angel above, I am hoping to give to the Childrens Heart Ward at the Freeman to put over the door - if they will have it, you know what they are like about infection control! If not its going above our front door.


Its a little fairy door to put on the skirting board - you know so the tooth fairy and easter bunny can come in!!! I still need to add a button on the right hand side for the door knob, but apart from that its done. What do you think? I love it and am really proud.

Here's the info for the shop just in case you want to go!((Tel: 0191 4888508| Old Post Office, 46, Church St, Marley Hill, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE16 5DW))

Valentines

Well been a busy girl today! Went to the card crop at the scrapbook shop in Durham and this is what I came up with - I love my greetings farm stamp the boy is called ian and he is lovely!!

This next one is to sell at work to raise funds for the Heart Unit that Ethan is treated on (see my other blog for info haha)

Baby Boy

Here's a card I made for my god son's christening. Very simple, I stamped the A for Alex using a glue ink pad and sprinkled with glitter! Simples.. haha

Valentine

I'm all about Valentines this week, as I am making some to sell at work to raise funds for Ethans ward. I have had some great inspiration from blog hopping. This is a plan black cardstock. I got a square of love notes paper and inked it with red ink. I then stamped over the top with a black alphabet that I had placed on a block. Turned it over, and drew a heart shape which I cut out with a scalpel and glued it to my card. I used a white gel pen to draw the lines and write the sentiment. Unfortunately (!!) I forgot to run the pencil lines out before I took this picture! woops x See you soon with some more!
