Envelopes for Birthday Books on Craft Swap Forum

I am a member of Craft Swap Forum, which every year has a charity auction to raise monies for Lymphoma-this charity is particularly close to my heart as I'm presently in remission from Hodgekins Lymphoma. This year we are making books in various teams with a variety of themes. My team is leader is Cornish Paul & I'm a 'gorgeous pastylet'!! (check out CSF for details). Our themes were - Floral, Nature & Bugs........Here are my attempts which are on their way to Paul who will assemble them with others to form 3 themed envelope books!!! I hope I did them okay!!! LOL!!! Click on pic for clearer view. All comments welcome - Thanks for looking!.

Mothers Day

For this year's Mothers Day card for my mum I thought I'd try something a bit different for me,
so I came up with the idea of an Exploding Box...........to be honest I wish I'd never bothered!!!!
I just couldn't get my head around it at all.........all the layers were already cut out, and it just needed decorating, but some obscure reason I just couldn't get to grips with it. In the end up - I only finished earlier tonight & to be honest I'm not at all happy with it. Fortunately I have an alternative card at the ready for my mum, but will give her the box too!!!

Funky Fairy Challenge 9

This week's challenge is to make a tag (s) or add a tag to a card.............well as I've been busy making tags, I decided to make a card with a pocket this time to enclose the tag!!! I chose a lovely blue paper from the Dovecraft designer pack of papers, covered my card with it, then made a small pocket in which I put a cream scalloped tag, coloured with Adirondack Stream coloured inks, blended in some butterscotch, heat dried it then stamped a butterfly & the saying "Always In My Thoughts". Finally I added some gorgeous fibres in coordinating colours to the tag. Please feel free to leave a comment & thanks for reading ^_^ !!!
