Fabric Flower Brooch

I've been having a lazy saturday so decided to have a play around with some fabric and make a little fabric flower brooch.

I've a bag full of fabric scraps so picked out these 2 fabrics which go together quiet well.


And this is the result a cute little flower brooch.



I had a mess around with an online photo editor aswell to make the photos a little more interesting and quiet like the effects!

Challenge card 1

Its been quiet a while since i've made any cards so today i thought id try and get some inspiration and join in a few cardmaking challenges! Am quiet pleased with the results seeing as ive not made a card for about 4 months ;0

So first up is this card which i am entering for the Passion For Promarkers week 109 - sketch challenge and also Papertake Weekly Challenge - Getting Cute.


So for this card i used Pink Petticoats You're Just Purr-fect Digi stamp.

Coloured with the following pro-markers:
Warm Grey 4
Baby Pink
Cocktail Pink

Then i mounted it onto pink bazill cardstock and DCWV grey cardstock.

And the background papers are from DCWV and Papermania stacks.

And to finish off i used a few small buttons and some paper flowers.

Faith Hope & Charity Swapping ......

Back in may Lakoto from Faith Hope and Charity Shopping came up with the fab idea to hold a swap which would include something brought from a charity shop.

I was paired up with the lovely Miss Tea (Susan) from Tea~Diary and this morning recieved a package full of the following goodies which i am delighted with ..... Thankyou susan x



First package i opened contained a beautiful little thimble which im sure will get used many times as i do enjoy sewing.

And also a lovely handmade bracelet so so pretty and well done to susan as she has never made jewellery before but i think its fab and very well made.

Susan also sent me these lovely hearts which she decoupaged herself, reminds me i really must have a go as decoupage.



And last but not least these pretty candlestick holders which i love!


Thankyou again susan for the lovely gifts and thankyou to lakota for organising the swap :)

Raggy Heart Wreath

After seeing MissieLizzies Handmade thursday the other week when she made a heart wreath out of ribbon scraps made me think of a good use for the leftover school dress fabric that i had been creating with.

So this morning ive got to work cutting strips up with my pinking shears ........ i now have a lovely blister on my hand to prove ive been working hard!! lol

And then just tied them all onto a heart shape made from gardening wire.

Result..........


Quick tip...... If your pinking shears get blunt just cut up some baking foil its sharpens them up a treat! I had to do this as below is a pic of my pinking shears that i nabbed off my mum and she got them late 70's early 80's lol yay for vintage pinking shears lol
