Craft time =)

Yesterday I got all my craft stuff out and set to making some bookmarks and cards. When my parents were away I spent FAR too much time on Ebay looking at crafty things to purchase and looking for new ideas to try out. I bought heaps of charms and little phone charm straps (and didn't really spend a lot of money - chuffed!) and decided to use them instead of, or even as well as, the ribbon on my bookmarks. I'll attach them to cards as well as I love cards with wee charms on. So, here are the fruits of my labour;

A thank you card with one of my newest stamps

A cute giraffe card with another new stamp I couldn't resist from Hobbycraft. (Bought the paper a few weeks ago on Ebay - perfect match!!)

And a "hugs n fishes" card I made with some stamps I received with Papercraft magazine!

Handbag bookmarks with little handbag charms attached.

A custom made, 2-sided bookmark with a little teapot charm, made for one of my Mam's friends

A little woodland bookmark with an Owl charm

And another custom order for my Mam's best friend. This also has an owl on it!

What do you think? It felt good to have a bit of a creative streak again =)

It's about time!

Iiiiiiiiiiit's Photodump time!!!!!

Hey everyone! So sorry I have been M.I.A as of late. I have been totally scooped up and carried away by life and my poor blog has been left a tad neglected. But never fear! I am BACK and am going to really try and keep a regular update going =)

So, without further ado, here is a collection of cards that I have made between my last post and this one. Here we go ...

This one is a New Home card that my parents ordered for their friends who recently moved away.

I made this for my brother when he got his first ever job!

One of the cards from my new collection.

One of two thank you cards I now have in my stash =)

This was ordered from a Church friend when her nephew turned one.

I put this one together for my boyfriend's birthday

I made this for my friend who lives in Canada!

And last but by no means least, a card my parents asked me to make for my Uncle.

I promise there is more to come, so watch this space! And by the way, just because I haven't been able to update my blog, that doesn't mean I haven't been able to keep taking peeks at yours!! =)
