My Nephew's Christmas pressie(well part of it anyway!)

Well my nephew's bedroom is apparently brown and green and he loves campervans, so I have made him a wall canvas to hang in his room, I hope he likes it!!

The papers are from my stash, so old I have no idea where they came from!! The corrugated card has been in my stash for even longer!

I have used this gorgeous Squidgy digi campervan(they do a  fab female version too if you are interested!)  I have coloured it with pro markers then sprayed with spray and shine by crafters companion to protect it. I have cut it out and attatched with silicon, I added my nephews name for the number plate, and used glossy accents to make it shiny.

Canvas hanging on the wall, the buttons are from my stash

Halloween treat bags(my son's prty bags!) the last batch

Evening all, I had a great morning today as I went to a PTFA function for my son's school and we made Christmas puddings and mince meat to sell at the school fair in November.  I never knew how many ingredients went into these things it was quite a shock!  Good fun tho'

So today's projects are the last of my Halloween treat bags, that will be used as part of my son's birthday party bags on Saturday.

Camper birthday!

Good morning everyone, hope the sun is shining where you are, it is here :o)

Well Ihad some crafting time last night and got a couple of DT cards made, then I wanted to make one for my post today and I had brain freeze.  Out of all the images and stamps I have ( and let me tell youthere are thousands!) I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to do!  I finally settled on this image and made this card,  I hope you like it :o)

The backing papers I have used for this were freebies from a magazine years ago! I have also used cross stitch thread on the centre panel.

The image is from squidgi digi called 'female camper van-dusty)  and I have printed her twice, one for the base layer that I have cut out with a Nellie Snellen die cut, and another for the top imagethat I have layered ontop with foam pads.  The image has been coloured with pro markers.

The birthday sentiment is also a Squidgi digi design from a set of sentiments.

You're a Classic

Hello on this very wet and dull Monday morning.  Can't you tell it's another Bank Holiday?!  I hope it doesn't spoil it for all of you.

Today's card has been made useing some digi's from a new designer 'squidgi digi' by Bethany Coe.  She has some fantastic images so pop on over and take a look.

I have just used plainn brown card for the backing on this, rounded the corners, distressed with ink and added a brad to each corner.  I have wrapped brown cross stitch thread around the backing and then distressed and attatched some brown corrugated card which has been wripped into a rough shape.

The image has been cut out with the largest nesties scalloped lace square die which has been ink distressed with brown and black ink.  It has then been coloured with pro markers.  I have printed a second image and cut it out , coloured it and decoupaged it on top.

The sentiment is another of squidgi's digi's!  that comes with a set, I have again distressed it and attathced with foam pads.
