Funky Flower

I managed to have a crafty few moments last night although I only had about 10 / 15 mins.  I thought id try printing a few things and after screaming at the printer for quite a while I created this:


 It is quite a simple card but think its still effective. What do you think?

Barney The Looney

I know this isn't craft information but I couldn't resist putting these pictures on here.  Barney is my Mum and Dad's dog and I helped pick the little blighter out and he's gone from this (butter wouldn't melt):


Now he looks like this:
(Cone on head as he has only just had his manhood taken away). Needless to say he is feeling a bit sorry for himself although is still very much a cunning fellow.

New Embossing Folder Card

I've had a play around with my new embossing folders and this is one of the cards I created. The embossing folder used for this card was called Cuttlebug - Mesh.  I was very impressed with the effect and will definitely be using it on some of my other crafty creations.

The small flowers on the card are from a stamp cutter that I have and the bigger flower in the circle is a flower from a die cut.  Both of these I have layered up using contrasting colours to add more depth.

Happy Crafting x

Butterfly Crazy

As we are coming into Spring now (at long last it has been a longgggg Winter) I have bought myself a great Cuttlebug Butterfly die with 4 embossing folders.
See link for my new purchase: Provo Craft Cuttlebug A2 Tag Team Dies, Butterflies, 4 Styles

I have been experimenting quite a lot already and here are two of my creations:



I am hoping to have a crafty afternoon tomorrow so you will probably get to see more of my Butterfly Craze.

Crazy Craft Show Ahead

I was searching the Internet again and came across a craft show near me.  As I am fairly new to the crafty scene I thought this would be a great place to find out about new products and also how to use them.  Here's a link below in case anyone fancies a day out full of craft things. 
Craft Show Info
If anyone does go I hope you have a great time and you never know might see you there.

Pink Crafty Afternoon

Here is one of my newer creations am loving pink at the moment. I must say I am totally hocked on card making I find myself looking on so many different websites and thinking erm..... I could use one of them. On another note I must have been a very good girl as my lovely boyfriend bought me 4 (yes 4 new embossing folders) and at present I am experimenting with them.  I will do a post showing the fancy things I create with them.  

Here is a site I recently came across and find them to be great on price and they have a good range of stuff:
Hope some of you find this to be handy.
