Colourful Birthday Card for my Nephew




Hi Everyone! How is everyone doing?
I hope enjoying every sun ray and keeping dry.




I was not planning to do any crafting for some time but
felt touch better  with my health or did I ?
for a few days and with some 
inspiring challenge themes I decided to make a
Birthday card for one of my nephews. 



For this one I really spinned the colour wheel.
I have to say I have never done anything with so many
 colours and almost broke my brain thinking of colours
 which would go together but I like how it turned out at 
the end and the colours will definitely grab any child's 
attention. Don't you agree?Also I had a play with with 
my paper punches, digi-stamps, did a crossstitch effect
 with a twisted cord, embellished, distressed,
promarkered every digi-stamp and I also
 attempted my first paper piecing.

Happy Father's Day











Hi Everyone. How are you all lovely crafters doing?
Getting ready for Father's Day Celebrations?

Has anyone been watching “Big Brother”?
It certainly has not been boring since it's started this year
again,hasn't it?

With Father's day Celebrations
around the corner
I managed to make this wall hanging.



I used a digital stamp by milkcoffestamps and coloured
with promarkers. I also used MS daisy fan punch 
which is one of the punches I bought ages ago
but have not had a chance to use.
Other 2 punches I used are by tonic and x-cut.
Digital sentiment designed by me in Serif. 
Roses are from WOC.
Glitter,pearls,gemstones,ribbon, lace 
and wire to hold the beads from my stash.

A few pictures to follow.
The complete pics are at the bottom






I created the sentiment in Serif




"Made with Love" charm was 
a present from a lovely crafter.
Label on the packet - 
- (Card Charms - make your own cards)







I also attached a few beads with a wire
for the final finish.








Bellow are 2 complete pictures of
the wall hanging I made.
I could not decide which one to post 
because my camera never really deals 
with light very well and takes everything 
either bleached out or too dark.

So here are both versions...

















Thank you very much for stopping by 
and any comment as always is greatly
appreciated!
