MojoMonday 336 AND news :)

Hey everyone! 

I hope you've had an amazing week, sorry I've not been around much! I've been here, there and everywhere. First I'll tell you all my news! As you all know I've been try to see if I have a place in the crafting market and it seems I do! I've sold my first card on etsy and it's just been sent off to its new owner today! I've never been happier! I was dancing around the room and even ran down to my parents! Since then I have sold another, both Mother's Day cards.

Now I've made you all happy and warm inside, who would like to see a card? Here's the MojoMonday sketch we had this week, I knew what I would do as soon as I saw it! 

I had a lovely circle card topper from HunkyDory Crafts that was perfect for this card! So of course with Mothers Day coming up, another Mother's Day card was created. Include ribbon, twine and flowers and there you go! Here it is.

3D works- gift bags

Hey all, 

This is my second post for today! Just another quick one showcasing a little 3D gift bag I made from a papercraft magazine I collect. It goes with a shoe 3D card made by Jenny (http://jfroog.blogspot.co.uk), i will be making the shoe card soon too. However I changed the basics of the design but kept the colour (purple). Here's my git bag.

I don't understand why the lighting gave the bag black edges, but it does show the bag size quite well. It fits a small bag of sweets inside. I already have a recipient in mind for this, a lovely lady who is leaving my work place soon. She will love this. My bag is decorated with gems, flowers, rub one, ribbon and paper. The tag is a personal message to my lovely colleague, very best wishes. 

Pop around soon for more 3D work of mine, I'm enjoying it more and more!

Never forget about the freebies

Hey all,

I think I've got my mojo back now as last night I altered another cute box and this morning I made cards! All because of my new Alex draws I got from my parents yesterday. It was a total surprise as I had decided to buy it for myself for my birthday in July, however they came back from ikea with a huge box for me.

Anyways back to the box! Here is my altered box from last night:

This darling little box didn't take long to make. It was originally a Thorntons box which I obviously ate the chocolates way too quickly! I looked at the box and thought this would be awesome altered. I added paper (from my sort out), Tim Holtz ink, flowers and gems. Mostly this was an idea for me to get used to altering items. I have another tin to alter now! Ideas ideas! 

As my title today says, never forget the freebies! I had got some amazing freebies from Papercraft Inspirations magazine which I had forgotten about and found yesterday. I decided to have a go making the beautiful cards from the magazine and it was just the inspiration I needed. Here they are, I only added flowers and a few chipboard pieces to the kit.

Unfortunately they didn't come with envelopes so I need to make some to go with these. Unless I donate them to someone.

By the way do you like my card backdrop? I think it shows my cards off.
