By the Sea - Scrapbook page

Hello,

Now the nights are getting cold and dark, I wanted to bring a little sunshine to my day so I made an 8 x8 scrapbook page on my little girl.

I have used so many off cuts of card and paper from my stash and made this page. Keeping the off cuts from cards and other projects I have done, makes my scrapbooking so much easier as I find I have ready made mats and layers.

Thanks for stopping by, see you all soon with another crafty project.

4x4 inch happy birthday button card

Hello,

After talking to a friend about making small cards I though it would be a good idea to make one as she said she struggles with them as they are tiny, this is a 4x4 inch card and a very quick make.

I really enjoy making tiny cards as you get to use tiny scraps of paper that you would normally throw away and also buttons and tiny flowers that would normally get lost on a bigger card.

Ingredients 

Affixit Craft - Foam Pads & Ultra Clear Double Sided Tape.

Couture Creations - Embossing Floder Peacock Pleasure.

Copic - Sketch Maker Black.

From My Stash - Buttons, Happy birthday Sentiment, 4x4 inch Kart Card Blank.

Design Your Own Background Paper Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Todays blog is for the February challenge called "Design your own background" over at My Little Craft Group on Facebook. I have to say this one was a hard one for me as I love patterned papers so having to create something myself seemed a bit daunting as I didn't know how to start. Tim Holtz came to the rescue with some distress ink pads, I created my background by gliding different colours across the paper until I was happy with the style. Then cut it down into a curve and made card number 1, card number 2 was using the left over paper I punched out 3 flowers and trimmed down a strip of the paper and created card number 2.  

This is the sheet of patterned paper I created. I know it don't look much but when i cut it down I have to say i was happy with what i had done.

Card Number 1

Ingredients 

Time Holtz - Ink Pads of your choice.

Papermania - Card Blank 6 x 4". 

Affixit Craft - Fingerlift Tape & Foam Pads.

From My Stash - Gems and Word chipboard pieces.

Card Number 2
