15 hour Valentines Charity crop

It's getting to that time of year again when we have the Charity Crop here in Bristol. It's actually run by Faye Bertham & Debbie Roberts (Rainbow_poppy & Bertie-uk on UKS) The money raised goes to a Bristol Hospice, such a great cause. If you need info give me a shout & i'll pass on any details xx

I am teaching a class and have a little sneaky peek just to show you the colours of the kit for
inspiration on what photographs to bring. Hope you like ..It's ideal for boys or girls.

You will need: 6x4" photo portrait though you could adapt it for landscape, Basic tools, Adhesive, D.brown ink optional ***I'm thinking of putting stitching on the L/O so bring a needle just incase !!!!...Everything else supplied. xxx (classes have limited numbers)
****YES BRING A NEEDLE****
Check Giselles Blog HERE for a sneak peek on her class too :)

Altered plaque

I have made a little plaque for the home , the alphas don't show up that great on the photo. I love these papers and thought I'ld make something I could show them off on seeing L/O's just go in an album. The colours aren't bright on my screen my wall is supposed to be yellow !

ROLLER SKATING

Halloween card ~ non scary

Here's a Non Scary Halloween card I've made, though it can be adapted for any occaision. Sorry about the photo taken at night with flash ! You can see how to instructions on other blog http://www.fiskarettes.co.uk/

Wedding invites

Here's my SIL wedding invites that I made for her...Ok a little bland for my liking but it's what she wanted. Actually it isn't what she wanted she was going to just put 2 cards printed into a crean envelope. I showed her some images I had saved for her and we came up with these !
The paper envelope is made with 1 1/2 sheets of coffee pearl paper and the invites are made up using marbled card. They are going to be sealed with a gold wax seal.

My New necklace

I saw some shop workers wearing these whilst wedding clothes shopping and just had to have one like it. So I decided to make my own. I think it might be a little more expensive than buying from the shop but I could make it to what length I wanted. I added a black bow and entered it into the B&W challenge on www.fiskarettes.co.uk blog.

Competition, challenges & much more !

Fiskarettes have published this months Competition and they are getting the kids involved this time as well ! There are two winning catagories ..... ADULTS and CHILDREN
