Miracle pens...

Well, on Sunday I went and had a nosey at "A Maze of Miracles" which is a craft shop in Long Crendon, joined by Beth and Andrea (Jake's sister and mother for those that don't know them). Sally had recommended them and though it was a long drive for craft stuff it was well worth it. We discovered the miracle pens that are "Promarkers". These pens are really impressive - though quite expensive - as you can do pretty amazing things with them. Obviously we had to buy some and I got to have a play with them the other night and here is a picture and card I created yesterday using them... (P.S. the background was not done using the pens and I used a stamp to get the image)

 
Now I'm back to work, which means less time to play around with my new toys. Boo!


Hope you like them anyway... 

Past creations...

So… since the move into our lovely new house I have been dying to get back to my crafting and start preparing for Christmas - yes, I am that sad. 

As I had a week off coming up, my lovely boyfriend came with me last weekend (as unfortunately he did not have the week off) to pick up a great crafting desk for me from the cheap and cheerful, IKEA :) This meant that I could start fishing out my crafting materials and start creating. This also got me in the mood to shop too and I ended up spending a good few hours in shops buying craft stuff :)

Whilst sorting out my desk I found my collection of cards that I have ready made and thought I should upload pictures of those first. Some of these cards are from about 2 years ago! (As you can tell as they are quite rubbish and very basic) And I never got around to sending them… Oops! Always handy to have a collection ready for any occasion… (P.S. If you happen to receive one of these cards in the near future then I made it especially for you ;) Heehee!)

               

You may notice I went through a major origami phase - which I still love but am trying new things too now.

Hopefully all the stuff I upload after this collection will be an improvement.

And tomorrow I am heading off to Long Crendon to do further shopping for crafting materials so that I can get making some more cards :D - hopefully I will find some stuff to make boys card as you can probably see that I am lacking in that area.

Love you all.

Welcome...

Hello everyone,

It is quite strange starting off a blog as I have never done one before and am not entirely sure what to write for the first message.

I decided to put this blog together, partly to archive my craft work (as I often forget the ideas I come up with) and share it with my loved ones - both here and abroad, and partly to keep my nosey family up to date with the general shenanigans that happen in my world… It may be very dull! 

Anywho, I hope you like it and let me know what you think.

Love
