Use it up!

I'm now in 'Use up your scraps' mode and have turned to making cards as a way of clearing out all the leftovers! I've decided that I'm going to make up packs of cards to give as gifts this year, along with making some birthday calendars.

Here I am in my Black and White phase! The final scraps of my favourite DCWV glitter stack card sheet.

(The mirri card mats have shown up as colours - they aren't really - they are silver!)

Daily Decoupage - 2

Here are a couple more of the 'Big and Beautiful' cards.

Struggled into school today and made it to the end of the day, but got a lift home and was leaving a the kids did!! I'm now snuggled up in the warm, having been to the chemist to get more drugs, and Budgens, to get more chocolate!!!

Tomorrow could be a bit of a challenge as it's Parent's Evening. As I keep coughing when I speak, I may have to develop a series of hand signals - or alternatively cough in Morse Code!!!

Daily decoupage - 1

Well,  it's been half term for me but my plans went slightly awry when I went down with a filthy cold. Since Thursday I've only been feeling well enough for sleeping, eating, watching TV and crafting! I recently ordered a 'Big and Beautiful' die cut decoupage kit from QVC. The idea was for the kids at school to make the cards and sell them at our Summer Fair. I didn't really feel up to anything too complicated, so I've been up to my ears in foam pads and have made loads of cards. The decoupage ones were really easy as they also came with matching papers and a variety of sentiments. I've also been able to use up loads of scraps. I've now ordered some different decoupage cards for the kids to try!

So here are the first couple I made. I shall share a couple each day as I'm back at school next week and won't have much crafting time again until Easter!!

More sticker stuff

More sticker stuff!! Of course now I've got them organised I just need to use them!!

Words and Sentiments:

Swirls, curls and acetate:
Creatures - bugs and butterflies
Peel offs:
Hearts and stars:

Sticker storage

I had a drawer full of stickers and a lot of scraps, so I made a sticker storage book. I used A4 card, plastic card storage bags and old embellies and scraps. I've made loads of pages and put them together with book rings. It's not the most beautiful thing in the world, but I can now find the stickers I want.

Letters:
Birthday rub ons:
Flowers:

I'm in the mood for cards!!

Another blue / green card. Well I already had the papers and scraps from the last card so I thought I might as well make a birthday card too!!!

Thanks in green!

I seem to be busy making cards at the moment! Hopefully I can scrap this week as I went on an outing yesterday, so have loads of photos.

This card is similar to one I made in pink a few weeks ago. The colour scheme was really dictated by the fact that the message was in green!! I'm not usually a blue and green person so I was pleased with this. 

Birthday notes

More L&L!! I made this notebook for my friend Jilly, who I went out with today, and then forgot to give it to her!! We had a lovely day out - Leeds Castle in the morning and Ashford Designer outlet in the afternoon! To make it an even better day, I got home to a parcel of crafty stuff which I ordered last week!! Woohoo!!

Another week, another Flavia

Yes, I'm still in Lilacs and Lemons mode! Another birthday card! Happy Birthday Jilly!

I'm now on half term and am in craft mode! Have made a couple of notebooks and two cards so far. Off to work on a CJ entry. Due to a variety of circumstances the CJ I'm in got a little bit backed up and I have three entries to do this week. I'm really looking forward to a mega crafting session!! Whoopee!!

(Sorry about the photo - it looks very washed out here. It's actually much more vibrant!)

More L&L Happy Birthday

It's my sister's birthday today, so more of my Flavia Lemons and Lilacs papers! I also used my Round-It-All, which was a little Christmas present from myself!! (Well, I was ordering some other stash and needed to make up the amount to get free postage!!) I love it!

I've been busy crafting  different project over the last couple of weeks. Just haven't got round to taking any photos in a decent light!! Will try to get some soon!
