Forgotten Treasures.....


I found these lurking in my craft stash and thought I would make some cards with them!

These ladies were Kanban and I think they are very elegant, I have added quite a lot of bling :o)

Hi

This weeks at Allsorts we have been challenged to use a butterfly on our creation, which is my sort of challenge, I've even managed to make it purple.....!


I have used the butterflies digi by digistampboutique and a design paper by them also, it was a monthly freebie so I am not sure which set it is from, the sentiment is by pink petticoat

And now for something completely different

Hi

I've been rediscovering my love of jewellery of late, there is a great bead shop in St Ives and I am always inspired when I go to Cornwall.  I did a class this time and truly loved it, as I have quite a bit of stuff accumulated I decided why not start making a few bits again for the enjoyment of it.

Some of what I make will probably be destined for presents, as I am trying to use what I have!

I will share a few of the bits I make, I wasn't going to but have had a couple of requests!

This is the bracelet I started at the workshop I did in Cornwall, its all done in peyote stitch (I wont tell you how many attempts it took to perfect it!)


I love the colours!

Poppies

Hi

After moving house time has been at a premium and I have just started to see the wood for the trees! so hopefully I will be able to get a little bit more content on my blog.

This month at stamping sensations they have set the theme of poppies - so I had to enter

I have been making more jewellery of late so thought I would make something a bit different using shrink plastic.




I coloured the poppies by hobby art with polycolour pencils.

The challenge is here
