Owl bookmark

Following on the theme of bookmarks (and owls) I adapted the kusadami flower bookmark to make this owl one.

Kusadama Flower Bookmark

My sis-in-law came yesterday and she showed me a bookmark she had made following the instructions from Sandy Ang. You can check out here blog http://angsandy.blogspot.com/2010/09/kusudama-flowers.html.
Here is my version of it

Owl fridge magnets

The owl punch and stamp set from Stampin Up are just brilliant! There are so many things you can do with them. Recently a friend gave me some magnetic sheeting which was thin enough to punch so obviously fridge magnets came to mind. I showed them to my sis-in-law and she decided to make one on a Christmas theme. I think it's really cute! (sorry the pic is a bit blurred!)

Gift bags

My sister-in-law, Kate showed me a project from her blog on how to make a small gift bag using 6" square paper. I played about because I wanted something a little bigger and basically as long as your paper is square and is divisable by 3 you can make it any size you like. I made my larger one using 12" square paper.

Getting ready for Christmas

After Anna had gone home I was still in the mood for a bit more crafting so had a go at a tutrial I saw on Splitcoast stampers for this 'box in a bag'. The bottom is part of a box, then it is covered with design paper. A nice presentaion for a small gift!

A Friend Popped By

This afternoon a customer (and I think by now a friend) came round to do a spot of crafting using Stampin Up goodies of course. Anna made 2 cards in the time that it took me to make 1! - Mine is the anniversary card so it took a little extra time because I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to position all the little pieces from 'All in the Family' It is for some friends of ours who have 3 cats - 2 ginger toms and a ptetty brown and white female so I couldn't resist putting them on the card.

Anna CASED a couple of cards from the mini catalogue but used colours from the Regals family. She love all the dark, rich colours in this family and I think they are fast becoming her favourite.

Green Wedding Card

My daughter is a bridesmaid on Saturday for a friend she was at university with. The bridesmaids dresses are green! (Ithought it was unlucky to wear green at a wedding? risking it a bit!) Anyway I thought I would incorporate green in the card. It is cased a little from Julie Kettlewell's, but hey we all need inspiration. Hope she has a great day anyway and that the sun shines for her.

Black and White

Lots of my ladies like the black and white theme, so I will be doing s few for my classes. Here is one I did last night (as there was absolutely nothing on telly!) I should have used stampin up ribbon but I likes the sheerness of this organza and I felt it need to be black. Have decided to try the white SU ribbon and colour it black with an ink pad for my next attempt.
