Baby Jumper

So this is a Basket Weave Pattern. It was really challenging and I learned allot from this one. I'd never seen Rib in crochet before but it's a really lovely warm jumper and cute too. This is for a year old so I'm gradually working my way up :)

My First Wearable

So here we are my first wearable. I started off with something small so at least if it went wrong I wouldn't be so disappointed. This is a free pattern from a lady called Heather and you can get is here. I did a shell edge just because I'm not too good at some of the stitches as yet.

No Stopping me now

Well before you know it my lovely mother in law got me a book for christmas and guess what I was doing on christmas day :0) The result was this fabby little bag and I was well away to making things.

Crochet for Beginners

So I have been AWOL for far too long I know but I have been working I promise.

About 18 months ago my bestest bud Mel showed me how to crochet starting off with "Granny Squares" so I could make a blanket Each square is about 5" and the blanket is still growing so excuse the letting it all hang out picture. It was a great starting point and there is lots more on the way.

Designed 2 Delight Puppy Love Challenge

This is a new challenge for me but what a wonderful Image to work with.
The image is a digistamp that has been created a lovely lady called Faith.
I coloured the puppys using my new Inktense pencils, which I'm still getting used to but I am gradually getting better :)

Calendar Template

For anyone who would like to make a calendar I have posted these. I will pop a photo on of the project I made using something similar shortly.

Stampotique Card

I have been very naughty and not kept up with my blogging so I thought I better get my butt in gear with a card I took ages to make, Sorry Kirsty.

I love tag cards but when I try to cover them they never sit right so for this one I used Jump Rings to hold it together. It fits in with the Stampotique stamps perfectly and I really like the effect i got on the foil card by scratching it with sandpaper :)

Light Box

Ok I've been working on this for a little while now and finally here it is.

This started out life as a mini shape sorter from Poundland and I thought it would look good as a tea light holder. The only problem was I wasn't happy using a normal tea light because of it being made of wood. So enter and electric tea light candle :)

Sarah Kay Card

I bought this cute Sarah Kay stamp at Newbury at the weekend so here is my first card using it :)

Aztec Orange

OK so I know I did something with orange again! Well it was actually a redbrick distress pas with a yellow Nick Bantock pad but it turned out really nice didn't it :) Stamps from SSPG.

Another New Tag

OK Did I happen to mention I like dragonflys and butterflys? Well this is another stag using the SSPGs free joing gift. I love the dragonfly stamp for the background and I used it as a base for my main dragonfly.

Everything bar the little nets it stamped in black Stayzon including the wings/petals on to fantasy film. The purple background was made using a baby wipe and a Nick Bantock Ink Pad then I stamped the little net in purple then the dragonfly in black.

New Tag

Ok this is my first project using some of my new stamps from "The Stamping, Scrapbooking and Papercraft Guild". The petals of the flowers are actually dragon fly wings but they make a fab flower. I used mica powders from The Artisitc Stamper and they show up great on Black Card and a better price than cosmic shimmer too.

Spiderman Card

I love this card cause Spiderman is my favorite superhero. I stamped the image twice in Stazon and he is coloured with Marveys. The image is decoupaged just a little from his waist to bring him out a little :) The background was made using the same stamp with versamark then chalked in silver.

Robot Card

I love this card mostly because of the stamp but the paper goes so well with the colours too.
The Image of the robot is a stamp from do crafts ans is stamped with black stazon and then coloured with shimmer paints. The backing paper is from a Basic Grey 6 by 6 pas.

Sunday Stampers Week 24 - For Your Eyes only

I had to think about this challenge but I got there and tried a pocket thingy :)

Dream Stamp is by CLevercut, I shut my eyes... is by stamp attack and the butterfly is by Creative Expressions.

Sunday Stampers Week 22 - With a little help from my friends

I wanted to do something fun so I had a play around :) The friends stamp is from Autumn Leaves and the others I don't know because I borrowed them. The paper is something I made while playing with some drawing inks and acetate :)

Christmas Cards

Yes I know it's early but I have to start sometime :) so here is the first using some bow bunny papers.
