UKS Swap

I have taken part in a swap on UKS to create a Christmas Wall Hanging. It's not something that I would normally do and I can't wait to see all the finished sqaures together. So here are all of my 12 squares together.

I started off my painting the edges of the chipboard pieces (they each measure 3"x3") then I cut some leftover Christmas papers slightly smaller. I cut some acetate squares a bit smaller again and stamped using acrylic paints onto it with a snowflake stamp. I used a flourish Inchie stamp for the middle and then sewed the acetate over the top. Finally I punched some snowflakes out of some silver card and printed the words from my computer, inked the edges and applied some gems. I really enjoyed doing them and while they are not what I originally planned I am very pleased with them, just hope that everyone else likes them too when they are received!

I also thought I would share a non Christmassy Card I made a while ago. I am not a huge card maker but I thought this was quite pretty!

I just love butterflies and pom pom ribbon at the moment!!

Thanks for looking!

LSNED Catch up!

Oh dear I am finally behind with LSNED :( Was trying so hard to keep up but am about 5 days behind now, anyways here are all my other pages following on from the first 2 that I've posted.

Well don't want to bore everyone with too many of my lessons so will add a few more tomorrow!

In the meantime I have also been making some cards... very unlike me... I am so not a card maker but my Dad owns his own Motorbike shop and asked me if I would be able to make some Motorbike themed cards that he can sell to go with his gift vouchers, so this is what I came up with:

What do you think? I know they are fairly simple but I wanted them suitable for most occasions. I am happy with the outcome, just hope my dad and his customers are!!

Thanks for looking, Hugs xxx
