Bird house memory album

I follow quiet a few talented crafters on blogs and You Tube, and one is Laura Denison who is designing a bird house with scrapbook memory album inside each month. I fell in love with one and had to buy the design. Please see her You Tube account at 'Following the paper trail' she has some amazing designs. This my bird house using the design, although I do not have anything to make the bird perch yet so that will be added when I find something. I really enjoyed making it. I have a bad habit of starting things and not finishing, but this I had to complete. It has tags inside for photos to be added instead of an album as some of her others have. I will be watching other designs as they come out to see if I like any of those as much as this one.

Just need to add photos now :)

Birthday card

I just wanted to use my new embossing folder from Stampin up, so my Sisters birthday card seemed to be the time to try it! I made the background then did not know what to add to it so it could have been better if I had put in a little more thought instead of just rushing to try the folder.

Bag charm for me

I thought I would make another for myself with bags and a shoe...just my cup of tea!!

Bag charm three

This one has been done using an old bag charm and adding new things. I could not find many large beads in this colour theme then I remembered some that decorated the outside of Christmas crackers that I rescued before they went in the bin. They just added the right size to the bag charm.

Altered earrings

These had feathers hanging and the owner was going to throw them way. I rescued them and found a circle bead for the bottom instead. Lets hope she likes them!

Bag charms

I have long wanted to have a go at a bag charm, so I made one for Kate who I work with as a trial! She liked it so may be it was OK!

I am not so happy with the one I did for myself. I love the key with the added wings, but I did not have any larger beads to add to it so all the beads I have added are a bit small, instead of various sizes, I can change it when I find some beads I like. I added some coiled, coloured, wires instead and I am not sure I like those either! I am hard to please!!!

Easter Cards

I have actually found time to make easter cards this year for my neice and nephews and my sister, thats as far as it goes I am afraid, but it makes a nice change.

I have used some lovely Docrafts decoupage sheets that I found in an order of stamps I purchased from Docarfts, a lovely free gift.

Not very good photos I am afraid a but last minute before I put the cards in the enverlopes! At least I got to play with some diecutting and embossing folders.
