Snuggles–Marion

Sweet Marion getting some kitty snuggles, I used to dress up my cat in Tiny Tears clothes when I was a little girl and it didn’t mind one bit.

Marion by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Copic markers and teamed with Nitwit designer background papers, I used my Cuttlebug and Marianne die for the doily behind the image, a pretty vintage seem binder ribbon and a couple of buttons.

Allsorts Challenge–Flowers and Swirls

It’s Saturday so that means it’s the Allsorts Challenge Blog  posting for me as their guest designer.

Flowers and swirls was right up my street, it has been a good while since i got out the punches and did some floral punch craft so out they came along side my Cuttlebug swirl embossing folder and this is what I came up with.

Something pretty for the weekend. I made the rose using the Punch Bunch Tree cream copy paper then inked it up until I got the desired colour.

Head over to the Allsorts Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the girls have been up to, it’s sure to be amazing.

Ribbon Spool Solution

I posted my new shelves here the other week that I bought to try to solve my ribbon problem and I have to say that I’m thrilled with them. I also added that if any shop had some spare spools that I would give them a good home, well not one offer did I get but…. I did get lots of ideas on how to make my own. Then I got a phone call from my Mam telling me that her friend Mary had read about my spool problem and she came up with the most fabulous idea and here it is.

Who would have thought it, I took myself off to our local charity shop and asked if they had any old videos and they had a massive bag full that I could have because they don’t sell them but keep getting them donated, So I left them a donation then my lovely man (Chris) took them apart and this is the result.

Genius idea Mary thank you.

Don’t forget crafters, ask the owners permission before wrecking their video collection. he he he.
