My project for Easter always has to involve chocolate of some kind so using Cherry Blossom Lane CD Collection I printed and fussy cut many elements and design papers images and created a Dispenser gift box. this a a Fabulous collection if your looking for inspiration to create Easter Gifts and very versatile for all occasions.

For a Lady

For today project i coloured up some lady images from Fredericka Mini CD collection using coloured markers: the large flower i created using the  heart shaped stamp from the Stamp Soup Stamp Collection sentiment is also from the Cd collection. I think she looks very sophisticated this lady don't you?

Lots of Green St Patrick theme

For the "lots of green" theme  over at the Anything Goes Polkadoodle challenge I've used a cutting Swirly Leaf  .  I printed a few of these and cut several,  Then napplying a floating die appearance inspired by  Jenifer Macguire and you can see how this is created HERE The Jar of flower & butterflies image are taken from the Lemonade Fizz CD collection: sentiment is printed onto vellum also taken from the CD. This card will be for a special St Patrick day birthday for a family member. Hope this inspires you for the upcoming St Patricks day celebrations !

Recycle VHS Case - Mini Album

Fridays recycle team challenge inspired me to create a mini photo album using an old VHS video case using The Lemonade Fizz CD and " you are beautiful " and other small stamps in the Stamp soup collection for the sentiment and front cover : I loved making this photo album and is a first for me ! Why don't you pop over to the Polkadoodles Challenge this week where "anything goes" for this for you! Until next time "carry on crafting folks" lots of love Nelly x

Off the page Wedding!

Nelly - This week I have used Wedding Car Digi Image. Papers and sentiment using Love and Cherish CD Coloured with Marker pens.

I created the card by placing the coloured image on the front facing centre fold and drew and cut  around the right side of the coloured image folded this back and trimmed it away from the card.  I covered the front with a design paper from the CD, Next opening the card  fully (front facing) i adhered the coloured image into place. When opened it sits off the page and   you can still see the whole image ( fig2) Decorate as desired.

Lots of Love GDT Polkadoodles challenge week

Shush its a secret ! I've made this for my Husband (still sticking with the male theme lol! Its a heart shaped stepper card using Twiggy and Toots Digi image for this week Challenge theme over at Polkadoodles, the heart shapes are cut also from th epapers in the set and palced randomly on each layer, the papers are using the distress ink bundle found HERE  and the sentiments can also be found HERE.  Have some fun and enter this weeks challenge, ill be looking for you :-)

Winter Birthday Boy!

Just love crafty Fridays ! this week theme over at Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge is a " Winter Birthday" now having mainly males within my family I've set myself a goal to focus on Male themed cards this year, which is not easy as we all struggle with this, don't we?  so inspired by the star shaped easy card which you can find  the how too video HERE  don't be put off it is much easier then it looks!!  This style was perfect to use the  Little Dudes Digi bundle as you get the added bonus of papers too, and i coloured him in using pro markers!  Give this a go and enter the challenge competition Ill be looking  and commenting on your makes !!!!

Heart themed notepad Bookmark

Happy Friday all! this weeks theme was " Hearts" and thought i would do something different this time: using all the papers from the  Distress ink paper bundle printed and folded into  quarters, using a  heart shaped die ( or cut by hand)  carefully place approx 1/2 inch  before the folded point , print and cut cut several pages, when opened it looks like a flower!! Cut the front and back heart from a cereal packet and covered this also using the papers, glued onto a strip of hessian and carefully adhering the folded  hearts shaped pages  you have a notepad on the go in your favourite diary/notebook : the sentiment is using my " go to" sensational everyday stamps which is a " must have set"  flowers are used using punches from my stash and the left over scraps, go on give this a go its quite simple and useful project! until next time Happy Crafting all :-)
