Home Sweet Home

Don't you just hate it when you finish a card, take a step back, and then you see the mistake!  Does it happen to anyone else?  I obviously didn't step back with this card,  the image is not in the centre of the scalloped oval



Ingredients:
Digital Stamp Boutique:  New Home
Coloured with Pro-markets
Nesties ovals, and scalloped ovals
Glitter purple paper
Sentiment on Computer - Bradley hand and Scriptions Fonts
Flowers, leaf cut using paper punches, gem to embellished.

White on White

Good Evening

Hope you are well!  
It's been a mixed bag of weather here in the North East, nothing unusual.  
Glad I went a walk at lunchtime, as it was glorious then, 
 but it was chucking it down at 5pm.

Sympathy Card is not something that I enjoy making,
but as I have this little voice in my head, "I don't buy cards, I can make for any occasion".  I made the below, just to have a card or two in my box.


Ingredients:
Wording done on PC
Nestabilites Labels set (can't remember number)
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Swiss dots
Silver ink and Ribbon

The next picture is a close up of the Pyramid effect, but as you see my photographic skills are not very good, a bit blurred :-(

Purple Card - Embossed using Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Swirls
Oval and Scalloped Ovals Nesties

Hermatite & Firepolish Bracelet

Good Evening

Thought it has been a while since I
Posted some beading, so here is another finished project that I
made at my local beading group.



I like the above picture, as you can clearly see the square shape
that was made with seed beads - the original pattern was for Tube Beads, but 
this seemed to fray the thread, so we had to adapt the pattern!

Ingredients: 
Pattern:  Hermatie & Firepolish Bracelet from Foxden Designs
distributed by Bead-Patterns.com
 size 11, Seed Beads
size 3mm, Fire Polish 
Beading Thread
Magnetic Clasp

I hope you  like it!
