Beautiful Hatpins ...

Hi Everybody,

Over the weekend I have been busy making some more of the Hat pins that I like to add to my more feminine cards

I love making these and end up with quite a lot because I get carried away with the designs

I think they make a really lovely touch to a card

Because they have end caps over the sharp point they can be removed from the card and worn on the recipients lapel

I buy 3" silver pins and create the designs myself but the basic hat pin is from the Sparkles Group 





You will find them in the FINDINGS section on their website along with beads and charms too if you need them

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie 121

Hi Everybody,

This card has been offered before but the winner never came froward to claim it and so here it is again and maybe this time it will go to a good home.

It was also part of the video that used Majestic labels Eight  along with some other ideas on using that particular die.

The blue card in the film is being offered next week as FF122

It is prettier in the hand than the photo shows and it is in white and silver.

The large rose on the front is grey fabric and I have wrapped lace and organza ribbon around the layers.

If you would like to win this card then all you need to do is leave me a comment.

From those comments a name will be chosen and the winner announced in tomorrows blog post.

More tomorrow ...

Shabby Chic Birthday ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is really pretty and has been created with the Grand Circles dies from Spellbinders.

It is now available to view on YouTube and is titled 

Shabby Chic Round Birthday Card

The colours I have chosen are pale pink and blue and at the bottom of the page I have listed all the supplies

The beautiful dried flowers are from AnnaMarie Designs and can be bought as a complete bundle

You will need to look around for the Grand Circles as they are now retired from Spellbinders website. Try Ebay or Amazon as people do sell them on and you may find them at a good price.

I hope you enjoy the video 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Water Colour Wednesday - Marching Mice !!

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using the Strike Up The Band stamp set Gansai Tambi Water Colours.  This little stamp set is so versatile and I featured it another Water Colour Wednesday a few weeks ago.

This time I have used the mice with a different sentiment and some of them are marching the wrong way to the main band. 

 You can have so much fun with this and arrange your band however you wish.  I think there could be another video here !!

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
