These are just some of the decoupage designs I have been cutting out recently to make up some new cards. The one below will look familiar maybe from a card swap I made for Mittens over on the Crafts Beautiful Forum for the Christmas Card Swap! I am making yet another card sing the same design for someone special on here! Not entirely sure what I'll do with the others but, I shall just see what happens as I get creative!
Just a few nights ago, when I had planned to get a fair bit of crafting done - which didn't happen -, I made this twisted decoupage card for no particular reason or occassion! the background paper I received very kindly from my most dear friend tiggertastic aka Sarah - Louise, over on Crafts Beautiful forum. I had been looking at this patterned flower fairie paper thinking what I could do with it then, just the other night realsied it was perfect for this decoupage design. I attached the design onto black card, leaving a few millimetres showing as it did not need much black showing, just enough to add some difinition! i am really pleased with my finished result. The flower vellum was attached using sewing with silver metallic thread and sequins and beads.
I made this Twisted Pyramid Decoupage Card the other night after making the Pyramid one. I saw this image to be quite christmassy so have made fo someone as their xmas card! I attached onto a simple white blank card as the deisgn itself is very detailed and I wanted it to really stand out and keep fresh! I really enjoyed making this and it was very therapeutic. I finished it off with gluing on pearl beads! Just hope the recipitant will like it!
I made this unusual Pyramid Decoupage card couple of nights ago! Never tried it before but, after seeing one of the CB forum members doing one of these it reminded me I had some of these too so, of course I had to have a go myself. I thoroughly enjoyed getting creative making this card and, I am ever so pleased with the results. I attached onto patterned paper that fitted in well with the colours of the shoe design and finished it of with sticky backed pearls.
This was a challenge car that I entered into the Crafts Beautiful Xmas Online Party, over the weekend of 29th November. The challenge was to make a Thankyou card with a list of materials given. I thoroughly enjoyed making this as we had to make it in a specific time; we only had 2 hours to make it! thankfully I managed it in the end with poor Ava clining and hanging off my legs!
I made this card for someone's birthday recently. The person who receives it, sorry it's late but, not been crafting for a bit now! I really enjoyd creating this card using my own choice of patterned papers, colours and materials used. I use this gorgeous decorative ribbon with sequins on it, quite Indianish, which I bought from the Creative Stictches & Hobbycrafts Show last year in October at the SECC. I added a decorative button onto the top of my flower (made out of hand drawn and cut out hearts). I used some faux stitching using my Artists Pitt Pen fabal Castell!

Just over the last couple of days I have received so many parcels/envelopes from CB members for the November ATC Swap. I have had a wonderful time seeing everyne's creations and, I have been ever so lucky to receive beautiful RAKS too! I then received a little something different through my letterbox on Monday from Wiggley aka Michelle Lancaster over on CB forum - I received my October Tag Swaps and WOW they are delightfully ogreous! Just my colours too! Michelle very kindly included a lovely RAK! thanju very much! :)
We visited the Lakes last wednesday and went to Windermere for most of the day. We visited the Beatrix Potter Museum and Wow! It was beyond delightfull.....kids loved it and I sure as anything ADORED IT! I went into the Gift shop for a good look around and ended up buying these lovely reading story books for Ava. I am now longing to read these tales of Beatrix Potter to Ava! Just hope she enjoys them!
This was a bag that I got for Ava from the Beatrix Potter Shop, as I just think she will adore it and will be handy for her books and things! I love and adore patterns like these for children.
We went on holiday recently to Centreparcs, in Penrith, near the Lakes! We had a week there and thoroughly enjoyed each and every day doing all sorts!
