A Mermaid Room Sign

Hi all, just a quick post from me tonight as I must go to bed soon. Grace was poorly all Saturday night and I was so overtired last night I couldn't sleep again!  So I'm hoping for a much better night tonight.  

Anyway just sharing another wooden heart, a bit bigger one this time that I made for my niece's Birthday.  I'm so enjoying making these!  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Crafty Friends!  Happy Saturday to you!  It's time for another challenge at A Gem of a Challenge and our theme for you this time is 'Anything but a card' so I decided to make another heart plaque, I'm really enjoying making these at the moment!  I used a super cute owl image Sleepy Ollie Owl  from Pink Gem Designs on my heart.  

There is a wonderful prize as always for the winner so I hope you will come along and join in the challenge this time.

I hope you have a lovely Saturday planned, we are off to the village fete today, so I'm hoping it's not going to rain!

Summer at Crafty Ribbons ................

Hi everyone and happy Thursday to you!  It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons and our theme for you this week is 'Summer'.  Nothing makes me thing of summer more than icecream so I decided to make that the theme for my DT make.  

I have used Summer Festival Ice Cream Ribbon on my tags and teamed them up with some icecream printables, papers by Craft Asylum and Happy Birthday sentiment from Little Claire.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Mermaid Card ............

Hi all, just a quick post from me tonight before I head up the wooden hill to bed!  This is a card that I have made my niece Anya for her Birthday tomorrow.  She loves mermaids so I decided the new Lawn Fawn stamps would be perfect for her. I've used my favourite papers from LOTV, I can't get enough of these papers, they are just my favourite colours.   

Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Heart Room Plaque ..............

Hi all and happy Saturday to you!  I have another gift to share with you today that I made for one of Grace's friend's whose party she went to recently.  As her friend has an unusual name I thought she might not have anything like this and her mum was very pleased as she said they can never find anything with her Daughter's name on.   

I used an mdf heart for the base and covered it 2 layers of paper from Lili of the Valley.  I painted the edges in cream paint and distressed the edges of the inner heart.   The flowers are from the ribbon girl and I added some paint to the centre of them and sprinkled glitter on whilst it was still wet so the glitter then sticks nicely to the inside.   The leaf is a Joy die and one of my favourites at the moment, I love all the detail on it! 

I hope you have a nice Saturday planned.  Me and Grace are off to the village hall this morning as they have a Queens Birthday celebrate and there are craft stalls and cream teas so hopefully that will nice and then I'm off to a workshop at my local craft shop Sprinkle Twinkle this afternoon. 

Thanks for stopping by.

An Anniversary Card .............

Hi all and happy late Monday evening!  Just a quick post from me to share an Anniversary card that I made for my good friend Marianne and her husband Graham. It was their Anniversary yesterday and I know the card arrived safely so I'm ok to share with you. 

I thought I would go for a shabby chic effect on this one as I'm really loving that style at the moment and really enjoyed making this card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.
