An Altered Box

Hello all and I have to apologise for the lack of comments.  Mr.  Blogger is at it again.  Every time I go to leave a comment the screen freezes.  It is so annoying!

Thought I would show you a wooden box that I decorated at my Sunday Craft Club up in Perth.  This took me four hours to complete, two cups of tea and a supply of cake.  I am so pleased with it.

Here is the lid, sorry not a very good photo.  I hope you like it.

Thanks for looking.

Have a great day!

2012 Calendar

Good Evening and welcome to my blog.  I thought I would make a calendar using stamps from Personal Impressions.  I got inspiration from a workshop I was at last year when I made a canvas using the same stamps.  The buttons and tailor's dummy was covered in scrap pieces of material I found in the cupboard.  I think I made a skirt for my grand-daughter when she was 3.  The little heart button and scissors I picked up at the SECC last year.  The ribbon and lace was from my stash.  I stamped the cotton reel, cut it out and wound red embroidery thread round it.  Simple but very effective.

I hope you like it.

Thanks for looking

Take care

Iris folding

Hi everyone and a Happy New Year.  My New Year resolution is to start blogging again.  I have missed it but it is finding the time. 

I thought I would try my hand at Iris Folding.  Was easier than I expected.  The flowers in the wheel-barrow were made using a Marianne Creatable die.  The butterfly was a Martha Stewart punch.

I am going to enter it into the Flutterby Wednesday challenge.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Take Care and Happy Crafting.
