Made some lovely little bookmarks,  They are silver plated with various charms attached that dangle

Trying Something New

After pondering for a while,  I thought I would have a go a making some jewellery. 
Started simple with earings and bracelet.

Have just agreed to have a stall at our local summer fete in June.   I will be selling my cards, candles, and hopefully now some jewellery.

Here is a  picture of what I have made so far.  Found a square of clear perspex and some dark red felt Covered the perspex using my good old Collall glue to make a temporary display board.

All Things Vintage

 

Whilst at the NEC today, wandering around the Sewing section we saw a display of some very old Smocked dresses.  It reminded me of a card I had made from one of my Crafters Companions die cut decoupage kits I had bought.   The one in question is Christine Haworth Paintbox Poppets.  It is a young girl from yesteryear on a bicycle and flowers in her hair.    It is a beautiful picture and one that I think shows how times have changed for our children today with the advent of computer games and such.    I would like to enter this into the March "Vintage" Blog Competition.

CHRISTMAS CANDLES !

I just love the  Paintbox Poppets, cds  of Christine Haworth, from Crafters Companion.   I fell in love with them years ago.    Been playing with the Christmas images and have done a few Christmas Candles.  Only two designs at the moment, but need to buy some more candles so I can do more..

I hope you like them.

Birthdays !

With the run up to Christmas, it's easy to forget about birthdays.  So I  thought I would share some cards with you over the next few days.

Here is the first one made from Crafters Companion products

Best Friends

What with the school holidays and the kids being around the house, I've not had much time to do any crafting.     Decided to steal away some hours though the other night and make some more cards.   Just love the Christine Haworth die-cut decoupage from Crafters Companion.

This months challenge with Crafters Companion is "Best Friends" and this decoupage kit is just perfect.

 

Here are two cards I have made, for that challenge,  I have made many more, but didn't want to bore you with lots of pictures.
