More coming soon!

More posts coming soon! I have the photos on my Camera, just need longer than 5 minutes to get posts written!

Been quite hectic here with School plays, days off, inset days and my youngest's 3rd Birthday.

 Thought I would add this photo too, its a Cave, in which you can get married! After a fair walk, and a "getting wet" under a waterfall, you finally reach the end, where the Alter can be found, for the ceremony.

 This is actaul cave, it's HUGE inside, and you can see the waterfalls you have to walk under/behind to reach the wedding area.

It can be found at Dan-yr-gof show caves in South Wales. Not my choice of wedding venue im afraid! But a great day out for the whole family visiting the caves and dinosaurs.

Photo Frame Fridge Magnet

I stumbled upon a pack for four Magent Photo Frames in WHSmith a couple of weeks ago. They were reduced to £2.49 for 4!

The frames measure 2.5" x 2.5" and take 2" photos. The frames themselves are made from a flexible firm rubber material.

On Thursdays I go along to a Time Out group, where we do all sorts of things, mostly crafty, but literally, anything goes. I take my 2 year old (now 3 year old as of yesterday) along with me and he loves it, and loves the Lady, Trudi who runs the class. The class is about to end for the summer (it follows school terms) and re-starts in September, But my now 3 year old, is off to Nursery and so wont be able to come along any more. He wanted to make a little gift for Trudi and this is what he and I came up with

We applied gold mixative alcohol ink to the frame, and curled some flowers I had in my stash, and made some pins from wire stems and purple beads. I added some gold Nail gems (bought from Ebay years ago to use on my nails!) and printed off a Name meaning.

I made a box using Laura Ashley cardstock, added purple ribbon and some pins, while my Son wrote "Trudi" on the label, all by himself!! (I wrote it into a scrap first, so he could copy)

Wedding Tag using Making Memories Slice

This tag was made entirely using my Making Making slice. I made it for the Tag challenge hosted by Helen over at A Crafty Kind of Truffle. The theme for June is Weddings.

The tag itself measures 3" and is cut using the Vintage Findings design card. As was the bird, which was cut at 1.5". The flower was cut from Basic Shapes 2 at 1" and 1.5". The word was cut from Words and Expressions, Holidays designs card.

I won a Coppernob Crease Mouse!

Helen over at Its All Fiddle Fart offered a few Coppernob Crease Mouse for blog candy and I was lucky enough to be picked out of the Teapot!

It arrived in my post box yesterday and I had a good play with it and its fab!
I have (had, as I will pass it on to my mum) a bone folder that came free with a craft magazine about 10 years ago, that I used to creasing my card but it just did not cut it and it was shoved in a box in my craft cupboard somewhere. I didnt get what the fuss was about for crease tools.
Until yesterday! The Coppernob crease mouse is very strong and creased my cards amazingly well, and with such ease. One swipe gave perfect results.
Now I'm hooked! I love it and will use it everytime something needs creasing,
I havnt used it with my Hougie board yet, or with rub ons yet, I'm really hoping it will fit the grooves of the board and im positive it will make easy work of rub ons!

Butterfly Card using Making Memories Slice

Another card for which I cannot gain credit. This was made by my 7year old for me, using my Making Memories slice. The design card he used to cut the butterflies is the Basic Shapes 2 card.

Fathers Day Easel card

This card is made from WeRMemoryKeepers papers (sorry, I cant remember the name of the pattern), cut using my free template on my Craft Robo.
The stamp used is Kanban Greeting stamps.
