A bit of Romance

Once a month I meet up with some friends to do some crafting - this month it was do your own project so I decided to decorate a wooden heart.  I hadn't really thought this through as it has a hole at the top and was going to cover it with some cardstock.  To overcome this I decided to use two colours - to hide the join a piece of lace was put across.

This embellish was made with my new toy - the Hot Melt Pot - I love using it!

Wooden button is in the shops now to buy

3D butterfly - stamp on the main cardstock - do another one to cut out and put either 3D pads or my favourite sillicone glue

New Experiences

At the moment I feel that life is moving on quickly now that it is getting scary so I have decided to set myself some new targets and experiences before it is too late.  Creating a Blog was one of the goals I promised my cousin Fleur Pearson that I would do this Summer holiday.  Seeing her blog http://fleurapassionforcraft.blogspot.co.uk  is inspirational and would love to attach the same expertise.

One of my daughters will be moving into her own home with her boyfriend within a couple of months and I already have designs on her room to change into my craft room/office.  I have so much stuff, tucked away here and there, that a lot of it does not get used so I have some major organising coming up and I am sure my creative juices will be flowing more.

This is one of the earlier scrapbook pages I created honouring my Dad - I like this as it was a simple layout (I apologise for the quality of picture)

As I get settled in my new room I will have more to share with you - especially with Christmas (sorry to mention this in July) looming up.
