Have a Heart

I just love pretty things, as do most girls, little boxes and trinkets, there's nothing nicer than opening a pretty box and finding a special treat inside it.

It could contain a tasty treat or a piece of jewellery maybe filled to the brim with love hearts for Valentines day either way it will thrill who ever receives it.

How about an Easter basket? perfect to fill with small treats for children or maybe some paste eggs for a healthier treat.

This is going to be a 3D template CD that you reach for time and time again.

Crafting with Jack

We have had the privilege of having our Grandson Jack stay with us this weekend, although he has chattered so much that he has our ears bleeding it has been a pleasure.

Jack loves to get involved, he likes to work alongside his Granda and he calls him his building buddy (so funny).

The other side to Jack is that he loves to craft with me. I showed a card that he recently coloured and made here which was his first handmade card.

Today we decided to make 3 Christmas cards for his teachers and we decided on winter wellington boots.

Here he is showing just how very clever he is with his finished cards.

And a close up of all of them too.

He loved the snowflake background paper for this one and he also loved the glittery pom-poms, he added glitter glue and stuck everything down onto the card, I helped with the cutting out and the ribbon bows.

This one he loved the colours and the addition of the bells that jingle jangle, he even coloured the sole of the boots.

This one he loved the Christmas trees and added a line of glitter down each tree and tied the bell onto the green sparkly cord and added the big pom-pom border.

I have a feeling that he will be so proud to give his teachers cards that he made himself.

Stand and Deliver Sneak Preview

I’m still sharing sneak peeks with you all from the amazing new 3D template CD

This next template had me singing Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant all through making it.

Perfect for little boys, the Castle (fort) pointed roof is a gift box and comes out of the main castle construction and can be filled with sweet treats or even a little toy. The carriage can also be filled with something special.

Of course this can also be a Fairy-tale Castle and Carriage for the girls or maybe a wedding gift.

Letting the Cat out of the Bag. Shhhhhh!

I have been working very hard to bring you something special from La Pashe.

Just Inklined to Blog Hop–Favourite Colour Combo

Today is blog hop day and our super talented Design Team have some amazing projects to show you.

To make the hop more fun, there are 2 hidden spot prizes along the way, chosen from those that leave comments on the blogs.

This months theme is "Christmas" hosted by Joyce  which is where the blog hop starts.

You should have landed on my blog from Tangii and its her Birthday.

I’ve used Poinsettia Corner Ribbon for my card and you can buy it from Just Inklined

Teals and White is my favourite combo.

I used the Silhouette Portrait machine to create a pine branch matt for my image, I used Graph’ It Markers to colour my image which I had printed out twice and Pan Pastels for the edging both available at Polka Doodles so that I could add and extra layer to the Poinsettia flower.

Backing papers are from Stampin Up, Pearls and ribbon slide from Mei Flower 

I finished with a little glitter glue to make it all pop.

Next up on the hop is Lori who always amazes me with her beautiful creations.

Jack's first Handmade Card

We had Jack visit us today, he decided to stay with us for the day and after all of our jobs were done (shopping, dinner prepared, shopping put away) all of which he helped with, he decided that he would like to colour an image and make a card.

At the ripe age of 4 years old he sat at the desk and used my Flex Markers and Clam Diggers. Image from Mo's Digital Pencil and started to colour.

Once finished he wanted to make a card for his Mam, this is all Jack's own design, I only helped with the cutting out and I tied the bow for him.

I was amazed at how careful he was and how few times he went out of the lines.

Isn't it brilliant?
Here is the concentration levels

 

 

All Cakes–No Calories

Healthy options when it comes to cakes it probably one of the hardest things to find, we all have that urge to grab a cake as a put me off till dinner time when out and about and cafe’s just seam to have the biggest and best to tempt that sweet toothed devil inside of us.

I can honestly say there is very few cakes that I don’t like.

I decided to do a little research to find the best choices for me to stay on the healthy eating track.

I browsed the internet for hours on end and the choices seamed to be make your own for anything decent until I found these beauties.

Mouth watering huh!

they are totally calorie free.

Strawberry Tart

 

Cherry Iced Coconut Sponge

Iced Bun

Chocolate Éclair

I have to stop this now because I know your mouths will be watering with the delight of these and they are fake cakes, aren’t they amazing?

They are all made from clay, full sized Tea Room cakes that would fool anyone.

I am going to look at them and drool, I bought them as props, I think the person that made these is pretty amazing, I may even have a go at doing some when I get some time.

A Little Fishy if you ask me!

So much going on here at the moment that I nearly forgot all about this little one. Home life and work life just flew away with me over the last few weeks. Life just does that sometimes doesn’t it?

I’ve lots to tell you about but I’m keeping it with me for just a little longer so in the mean time here is a little guy that I started to colour up a week or so ago but finished him last week.
