Snow... Just a sprinkling x

Pink...!

I never scrap in pink, so given the opportunity to create a birthday card for a 4 year old girl, I leapt at the chance to be sparkly and flowery and rather frilly...! The design was inspired by a Card Trends LO, in which the letters matted onto foam/felt gave me the idea to create a card that could double as a nameplate for her bedroom. Thanks for taking the time to look! Leanne x

Hats off...

My first attempt at a bobble hat for the Innocent Smoothies/Age Concern Winter Heating campaign! Don't know if I can do any more, but if you can by 15th October, check out their sites for links and patterns!

Jack of 'Arts...

Just wanted to pop on and upload my first altered playing cards for the swap NettyB's hosting over on UKS - we're working our way slowly through suits, and the first is Hearts... Hence my rather guilty-looking photo of 'Jack' - a little boy with a love of jam tarts -  caught red handed...! 

I've used a differnt technique to my usual photocards (in which I age the card and adhere the photo) and this time have mirror-printed onto acetate, then backed with card and framed, reminiscent of a projector slide, and I'm rather please with how it has turned out.  I hope that the recipients like them, because I really enjoyed coming up with my design, and can't wait to see what other people have done with the theme.

Thanks for looking! Leanne x

Blog Candy Links...

So, part of me doesn't want to share these gorgeous competitions, so there's more chance of little moi winning, but I'm nice like that :D

First off, MA's UKS link to Debbie's blog meant I found the first candy of today - and a gorgeous stash it is too, filled with Copics, stamps, Nestabilities, and lots more!  Then from there I found a myriad more through Debbie's links... Jeanette, whose candy includes the most beautiful Miranda stamp, Katharina, who has 2 sets of the new Whiff of Joy stamp kits on offer, Kim's candy - gorgeous fall felt fusion and what promises to be the best chocolate ever!!!, Tracie has some lovely Papermania goodies including Forever Friends, mini brands and shimmer dots to give away for her birthday,  and Janet has Blonde Moments stamps, buttons, chipboard and more!

Good luck everyone, and a big thank you again to these ladies for their generosity!

So Tweet...!

Just thought I'd share this photo of a felt flock! I made them for a Felt Embellishment Swap on UKSwappers, and I am really pleased with how they turned out, just wish I had put a little more detail on them before I put the backing on! And yes it's all mostly daisy stitch, which I'm rather fond of at the moment :)

At least now DH can see whay I needed so much felt ;)
I hope the recipients like them- now off to alter 13 playing cards for another swap...
