and pearly doodled around the edge,

Nutshells Together – Wish Me Luck

 

I have took the plunge and

gone in for a DT sketch challenge

I just fell in love with this cutie nutshell.

I have twisted the sketch

I printed the super digi stamp  four times,

and came up with this idea.

I water coloured the four girls,

all in different outfits,

cut them out, and decoupaged them,

Followed the sketch.

I know you can only see 3 when

I said I had done 4,

that’s because the 4th one

is on the decorated inside.

Sorry for the dullness of the photo’s,

but its so dreary here,

the natural lights not good.

 

Hope you like it, and keeping my fingers crossed

Please take the time to look at my other creations

Hugs

Crochet Coasters – set of 6

 

In between kids and housework,

I made these coasters today.

They are crocheted,

and much better than a plastic coaster,

as they tend to soak up the spills easier,

and totally washable

Thanks for popping by,

don’t forget to let me know what you think.

I love reading your comments.

I will be back tomorrow with some cards

hopefully if my boys are good, lol.

One Pocket Card –Multi Challenges

 

This morning I have made this pocket card,

It was originally for my 3 sons to give to their dad,

but they read Dustin Pike's blog and

said to send it to a child from Post Pals

I used nearly everything apart from the bit of paper

that I printed the digi stamp from Dustin Pike on,

out of my scraps recycling bag,

I used my new sakura pens that I got at the weekend

to colour it in and water colour pencils for the smoke,

dirt dust, and windows.

The challenges are on -

crystal crafts a lot

Its a Ladybird or Ladybug

I have crocheted this today,

I think its quite cute,

It stands about 3 inches high,

smile and antenna

Still not feeling right ….. but

 

Happy Sunday everyone,

I am still not feeling right,

so haven’t done any cards yet

Have been enjoying the glorious weather,

and doing a little more crocheting,

Have made some flowers with some odd bits

of wool, not sure which I like the best

the double flowers or the single ones in the centre,

Will be back again later today with more crafty items.

Hugs

Another two crochet items……

 

These I sat made these this afternoon,

You can either use them as hair scrunchies

or bracelets.

They are made by crocheting around a elastic

pony tail band,

but they are also pliable enough to wear

around your wrist as a bracelet as well.

Thanks for all the get well comments,

much appreciated,

feeling a bit better,

should be back to card making tom.

have a super weekend,

hugs Angie

Another money saving item ……

 

 

Just like my last post,

this is another money saving item,

that I have crocheted today,

It can be used either as a face cloth, flannel, or a dish cloth etc,

They do not take me long to crochet either,

I sat and crocheted this earlier today while watching

camp rock with my youngest son,

Just a close up to show you the hand work that has

gone into making this.

These tend to be much softer than a flannel/face cloth.

and last longer than most dish clothes as well.

Thanks for popping by

Back again later with more crafty items

Something different for a change

Hello,

Sorry I didn’t get back with a card

last night,

Spent the evening with a bad tummy ache,

so didn’t feel like making cards

But as most of you know me,

I can’t not craft,

so sat on the sofa crocheting,

Here is the first thing I made

Its a bath scrunchie,

Much better than a sponge,

and better than them scratchy net ones.

and you can always pop it in the

washing machine to keep it clean as well.

Thought I would share it with you,

Back later with more crafty items.

Thanks for popping by

Jagged Edge Butterfly

 

Oh Boy, I have had so much hassle trying to get on blogland today

I nearly gave up, and then see that it works better if you have

mozilla firefox, so I have installed it and have had no problems

since, its great I am back to blogging, hopping,

being inspired.

Well enough mumbling, onto the card,

I used two designer papers from Kaboodle

and followed their sketch,

I then stamped and embossed the Michael Strong butterfly,

I used mirri board, and metal brads,

and silver peel offs to give the effect of metal,

I have also decorated the inside to match,

This will be entered into the following challenges,

Sketch – Kaboodle

Metal - Crafty Creations

Flutterby Wednesday - Danni's Dreams

This is the first time I have ever done the torn edge,

I quite like it, so will be doing it again,

in with the colour theme,

and have also done the inside to match,

using up the left over of the papers.
