Happy Birthday Helen

 Morning and what can I say-March already and as it's the 2nd March it is Daughter Helens birthday (she is 48yrs--shhh)

She likes a tipple Helen lol so I made her a card using Glass of Wine a Day from Bugaboo Stamps,coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents on glasses.

Wine bottles and wine glasses are stamps and dies from a craft mag freebie set,papers from Art By Marlene and added some dewdrops then when taking pic I thought why did I add bubbles to a wine card???Die cut frame is a Gemini one from Crafters Companion.

Fancy a Macaroon ?

 I have done a quick card using a pre-coloured freebie image to join the challenge at Beccys -you can have a pre-coloured/black&white and a P.paper.

I printed the image twice and cut the middle section to layer on 3-D pads-the P,papers are from The Works and the sentiment was a craft mag freebie.

Family Projects

 I am sharing a couple of projects that are not mine.

The first one is a card granddaughter Holly made whilst checking/raiding what was left of my craft stash so all are oddments she found lol -the die-cut man I only have in black so she must have cut the other one out in white after drawing round the die-cut-I say suppose as whilst she is in there she closes the door and we get strict instructions not to come in lol.

My Daughter has now lost interest in painting and has taken up felting.

 

Finally a painting my Son did of Amy Johnson

Tissue Box Holder

 Morning and I have a tissue box holder to share today I made one over a year ago with the Chocolate Baroque Bee  HERE.

This time I made a more masculine one using a TH embossing folder which I wiped over with black acrylic and after messing the lid up THREE times used the embossed off cuts for the lid and two circles on the narrower sides.
