I am in love with the deer elements of the Cindy Loo cart!!!! It is just perfect for all things baby!!! I have made a small card, it is A6 which is not a size I would normally use, I tend to make A5 cards but decided I needed a change! It turns out it took me just as long to make this smaller card as it would a bigger one ( maybe too much faffing around with the pinks for the deer )

I started with a pink piece of core colour card and inked the edges with brown ink, I used K & Co wedding paper for the pink stripes which I also inked. I then attached them together with double sided tape and my mini sewing machine! I mounted this onto a brown card blank. I added some lace border ribbon and some making memories flower ribbon which i got from Hobbycraft along with the paper flowers which are from the same embellishment pack as the ribbon. The blue gem brads are american crafts which are also from Hobbycraft ( had a bit of a spree ) The wording which reads too cute is a we are memory keepers rub on set which I have topper with flock, it is very faint but still super cute!!! The final element to the front is the deer from Cindy Loo which I cut in shades of pink!

The inside is desgined to match the front with one exception, the stitches are fake as the glue from my double sided tape has clogged up my needle so I couldn't re thread it ( rookie mistake ) going to clean it in a bit and never make the same mistake again OOPS!!! To finish off the inside I have used an american crafts badge embellishment which yep you guessed it, is from Hobbycraft!!!

I have been at it again with the fimo and here are my latest creations! They are without names at the moment as nothing seems to fit with them!!! With previous dolls I have had trouble with the hair, I fould it snapped real easy if you were not super careful with them, I fixed this with adding a solid base behind the hair but I didn't like to finish too much, so I went away did some playing and came up with these super thick curls. I think they look awesome, chunky and very robust ( hopefully )

On the 17th of January me and my hubby Konrad had been together for 10 years ( married for 4 ) He is wonderful and gave me the most awesome surprise on our anniversary. . . I got home form work very very tired and hungry and he has food waitiong for me and just asked if i could get some drink ready, I went into the cupboard for some glasses and waiting there was a handmade card. Now my husband is not a crafter at all, he glazes over whenever I start talking to him about papers or embellishments and he has never so much as touched my cricut, so imagine my amazement when he produces this card. He has done a wonderful job and i think a future in cardmaking is not out of the question!!!! Now I must admit he used a skull that I have already made ( dunno where he found it though ) I just adore this card! he has used Don Juan for the numbers and Happy Haunting for the frame and font and the skull was made using Indie Art and some QVC stamps for the swirls. He even put glitter on the 10 for sparkle!!! He is such a sweet man and I love him more than anything ( even my cricut x x x )

I have been upto my eyes in fimo lately! I love it as it is something I can do whilst watching TV with my hubby! I tried making cards in the living room before and it was a nightmare. . . I kept forgetting things I needed so was up and downstairs all the time, I made a huge mess which annoyed Kon oh it was awful. There are times when I do want to make things but also want to spend a bit of time with Kon so fimo is perfect for that. I have added some new characters to my Lil Schitz collection, now I do not have names for them so any suggestions would be awesome! Here they are. . .




I think they are super cute and I have given them some sweetcorn!!! I think they will make fab keyrings or phone charms!!!!

I love Christmas and everything about it, but this year seems to be as the title of the post would suggest kicking my ass!!!! I have started my cards too late so now not everyone is gonna have one, I didn't make enough to sell and ended up having to turn away business, I haven't finished my christmas shopping and they pressies I have bought are not wrapped!!! Phew!!! I blame a last minute wedding order I took on, I enjoyed doing it but it was a lot of work in a short space of time hence the complete lack or organisation in every other part of my life!!! I have managed to get a few pics of some cards that I have made so here they are!!!

Well it has finally happened. . . I have destroyed my very first cutting plates for my big shot!!! I have had my big shot for about 4 years maybe 5 and about 5 minutes ago I had my first fatality!!! It was my fault too as I was trying to get my machine to do something I am sure it is not supposed to do, but if I don't experiment how will I ever learn!!! I have more plates so the crafting will not stop but it is a sad time for all concerned as we say goodbye to a well loved friend!!!

I am desperatly trying to build up some stock so I can do some craft fairs over the next few months, but it is proving a challenge with all the other stuff I have to do! Still I do love being so bust with crafty things so not complaint!! Anyway here is another easel card. I am using the Kenny K image again I just love her and I have left a space at the bottom of the card so that a name or a greeting can be added !!!

Just a quick one today. I have had these mini cards in my stash for a few years now and decided to do something with them. I have just stamped them with some inkadinkadoo stamps. I also stamped the envelopes to match.
