Exploding Box with Eight Sides

What better way to present a magazine subscription gift for a Family History research mag than to make a box & put family pictures on the sides. This box has 8 sides & each side has 3 edges, when you take the lid off the sides fall outwards to reveal the pictures.

Scrabble Scorebook

A little gift that I made for Christmas for my SIL & brother, I used Scrabble craft letters & the pips are brilliant items that look like brads & a whole lot cheaper.

Take an Old El Paso Jar & a Bag of Cranberries

I made this to take with me to the families at Christmas, I made the cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries, brown sugar & sherry! Then decorated this Old El Paso jar with Laura Ashley Gingham Paper & gingham ribbon & a couple of embelishments from my stash. The tag on the front says Christmas Together, it is kind of decoupaged so it looks like it is not stuck down properly in the picture.

Merry Christmas Everybody.

Have a Mice Christmas

Cute little pop down card with little mice, coloured again with pencil crayons & blended with Sansador & toullions. A few glossy accents added here & there for a bit of texture.

Penny Black Pop Out

This card was made for someone special, Penny Blacks coloured with pencil crayons & blended with Sansador.

Penny Black 12 Days of Christmas

Lots of photos for this one, sorry but wanted to show it fully. I made it for my BEST crafty friend Gill, check out her blog out, she has some amazing creations

These stamps are from Penny Black, I coloured them with pencil crayons & Sansador & then blended with toulions. The great thing about these stamps is that you do not have to use them just at Christmas. I thought the pop down style card worked nicely with them.

Christmas Tilda's

I am new to Tilda & Edwin, but I love them, again coloured using pencil crayons & Sansador, with a bit of glossy in places.

Baby's First Christmas

This fantastic image is from Pink Petticoat go check out their site for some amazing images that you can download & print out when you want. This one is from their Sweet Cheeks range.

I coloured the image using colouring pencils & then blending using sansador & touillions, I find it so relaxing. I have used glossy accents on parts of the image, but you cannot tell from these photos.

One for a Boy & One for a Girl

Not blogged for ages, so about to update you on what I have been making

This card was for my niece, she is really into her ballet, so Paper Dolls came in handy along with my trusy old sewing machine.

Total BOY card, little boat cut from New Arrival cartidge, the Waves from Zooballoo. I love this range of papers, I had them for ages before I took the plunge & cut them!
