Silhouette Scraplift

Good morning, hope you are all ok. I'm fed up of the dark mornings and the cold weather now, roll on Spring.

I have a scrapbook page to show you all. I made it mainly using my Silhouette Cameo and the LO was one that I scrap lifted from the Silhouette Blog a while ago, although I can't find it now to link to.

The photo was a selfie that me & Wayne took whilst in the orangery at Lyme Park last year. I love visiting Lyme, the house and gardens are so beautiful. We also had a walk up to the cage on this day too and it was very windy & cold.

Secret Santa make

Good evening folks, hope you are all well.

I have a clock to show you all that I made for my lovely Crafters Companion The Inspirers teamie Soraya

The Inspirers decided before Christmas that it would be so lovely and also so much fun to do a secret Santa but instead of buying a gift we would hand make a gift.

So as I knew Soraya is, like myself, a big Gorjuss fan. I made her a clock with a Gorjuss design on it.

I know she has received it now so I am safe to show you.

Thank you all for visiting my blog, hope you have a really lovely evening.

Try something new for 2017

Good morning folks, hope you are all happy and well. How is your weekend going so far? After having a lovely drive out to Buxton & Leek yesterday, I'm busy catching up on housework & washing today. The kids are here for tea later so going to make a spaghetti bolognaise, you never know I might manage a crafty half an hour in the craftroom too.

I have my Crafters Companion The Inspirers make to share with you all and today it is something totally different from me.

We were all asked to try a new craft for 2017, so off I popped to the website to have a look what I fancied doing. Now I knew that Crafters Companion stocked oodles of goodies for lots of different crafts but I was so surprised how much there was to choose from. I was there quite a while looking at it all.

Being an owl fan I spotted the perfect thing for me. So I ordered the wonderful Debbie Shore Owl Applique Dies  and some gorgeous Threaders Felt and got cracking. I had a lovely couple of hours cutting it all out and hand stitching it all.

So here he is.... hope you like him. This definately won't be my last sewing make, I have already ordered some more goodies to play with.
