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.

New SWALK stamps from Crafters Companion

Looking forward to Tuesday, Crafters Companion  are launching more SWALK stamps.  Hop over to Leann's blog for more information.

Four legged Friends

This is the card I have made for the Crafters Companion's Aprils blog challenge.

I love everything about this card from the colours to the satin ribbon.     Its made from one of my Beautix Potter CDs and its all decoupage, although the photo makes it hard to see.

As soon as I put it in my card box someone bought it. 

Crafters Companion Monthly Challenge March "Spring"

I love this time of year,  everything is beginning to grow again, and the flowers are all appearing.   It always makes me smile to see first the Snowdrops, and then the Daffodils, and along the roadside if you are lucky you will catch a glimpse of Primroses.

I would like to enter this card of the "Primrose Flower Fairy" into the monthly challenge

Christmas Card for Crafters Companion November Blog Challenge

Having made many Christmas Cards this year, I think this is one of my favourites.   Its a LOV image and once again I have used my cuttlebug with Nesties and also some other dies I purchased at the  NEC

Candles and Flower Fairies !

It still amazes  me how lovely these candles turn out.   Have made a few of these now, and can definitely say the White Candles are the best.    The scented ones give them a little extra touch,   however, as I found it's best not to try and make too many at one time, as you get a heavy waft of the scented candles when you take the initial wrapping off, and of course when you heat set the image onto them the scented candle seems to release large amounts of whatever smell they are scented by.   I found that trying to do 4 in one night was too much, especially as my craft room is only 6' x 6.5'.   The night ended in a major headache and  feeling very nauseous.

Here are a few I have made,  I hope you like them.

The above are the extra large ones

Here are the small ones
