Today on CBN its DT inspiration monday and i have created a card. This was a prototype for a upcoming class but it didnt turn out how i imagines it. Still pleased with it though. And dont forget there is a DT call for CBN and this month's challenge is still going on, just a few more days left to enter both. Be in it too win it as they say. TFL Sarah

A crafty round up

So not alot going on craft wise really as ill health, having the boys home for the school holidays and having a toddler who now refuses to have a day time nap, makes my crafting time very limited. And having a craftroom that is a tip with the floor having stepping space only wasnt good for the creative juices to flow. So me and DH got out a tape measure, paced a few floors, scratched a head or two and set to work reorganising a tiny space. And this is the result. I am pleased with it. It may not look like something out of a ikea catalogue but we made use of what we had and a budget of zero pounds! DH put new shelves up for storing my little boxes. We shifted an old Welsh dresser in which now houses all my fabric, S & C stuff, embellishments, stamps etc. There is work space for crafting and i will do all my gluing, heating and messing with tools etc here. My Knick knacks on the window sill and my beautiful clean empty desk space. And the view out of the window. Perfect for secret photo's or ones like Daniel is doing as he knew there was a camera out. And i think the our lady statue across the field may just scare the begebers out of my when crafting at night. And i will leave you with a new layout for the crafty Bloggers Network as its a new month so its time for a new challenge. Head on over to HERE and see everybodies projects. There is a prize from Cullen Crafts and Sassy studio designs this month. TFL Sarah

Its a boy

This week I am playing around with baby cards as a very old friend has just had a much wanted baby boy after many years of heart ache. I have made lots of cards and I am still undecided which to send as I want it to be very special for them. Here is one of my cards, made for CBN, with some simple instructions. Materials • A4 cardstock • Patterned paper (G45:Little Darlings) • Ink (SU) • Ribbon (SU) • Bakers twine (SU) • Buttons • Embellishments: G45 stickers Instructions Template I began by making myself a template. I hand drew a onesie shape out roughly, then refined the lines. Once I was happy with the shape, I scanned it, enlarged it and printed it out twice onto a piece of A4 card. I have attached one of then. Save, enlarge, print. I cut out the shapes. I covered the back piece in spotty paper. I added a spotty paper to the bottom half of the front piece and a vintage text/ image piece to the top half. I inked all the edges. To decorate I added bakers twill, ribbon, buttons and stickers to the front. I added a decorative strip to the back and another sticker. Once happy with the front and back onesies, add glue above the line area on the template. Stick them together to finish. And there you go, a very quick and easy baby card that looks adorable.
