Scrapbook in a CD case

Inside the CD case.

This is the front of the one I did, below is one of Tracie's.

We shall be doing some more of these in July, I managed to find a web site to get these particular CDs, they are called calender CD. I managed to put two together for the bible student girls who are due to leave this month, the one I made a crafty women I gave to the other girl Violeta Pantekoska who comes from Macedonia. I think this is one project I will do often as it makes a nice gift.

Bookmark Card

Here is Tracey nice floral card and sentiment, we had great fun just took most of the day to make while talking and having lunch together. we are looking forward to making more of these cards.


Here is this weeks Project Tuesday, made with my friend Tracey. Mine is the crazy Mexican dog, it is a Fathers Day card for my husband. For the fold we used a perforated blade so it will be easy to pull the bookmark from the card. Take alook at the other crafters and examples at http://www.sasprojecttuesday.blogspot.com

Project Tuesday- Spiral Pop Up Card

Well here is my attempt at this weeks project @ www.sasprojecttuesday.blogspot.com , I had already done Tilda but did not have a card in mind so I saved her for later so this project I thought would be good for to use, its someones birthday this weekend so helped to make a birthday with yummy sweet stuff to go on it. I did not have a punch for the spiral so I had to guess. The sentiment was done on the computer, would of like to use colour but ran out of ink.

Materials;

Stamps-Tilda, Ice cream cone

Card stock-Pink, Green

PP- Doodlebug design single scoop paper

Ink- Versa colour Lagoon blue

Nestabilities- Scallop oval

Ribbon, glue dots, PC for sentiment

Project Tuesday Altered Frame

This weeks http://www.sasprojecttuesday.blogspot.com/ is a altered frame, so this is one I have done that shows my husband and I together, the frame I had on hand does not have a flat frame so I could only put a few bits on, plus I did not want it to be too flowery as the frame is going to my husband office space. I was able to use what I had on hand, the frame idea makes a nice gift.

Allsorts Challenge week 45 " Rags to Riches"

The challenge from http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com is to alter or recycle something, so I am submitting my clipboard, you can get them cheap at the supermarkets, the particular store I went to had acrylic boards so there is no need to pre-paint the board, you can make it flat so as to use it or add embellishments to and display it. Makes a great gift.

Tilda sitting on a ice cream cone

This is a set of stamps I got at Sir Stampalot, I love Magnolia, so I have coloured this one up but yet to make a card for her, I love the copic markers that I bought too.

Scrapbooks

So here we have a couple of projects that I have been making for 2 of my boy's, this one is for my son who is doing catering. so far I only have 2 photos this one is the Christmas cake he made at college.

This one is for the oldest who went to Uganda last year, but I will have to re-order some pictures for his book as the ones I have are for a 12x12 lay out.

The travel book was started at the Crafty Women club and the project was taught by Annie Hafermann. I like scrapbooks more than cards, this year I intend to catch up on scrapbooking,
and to get back to quilting.

Baby brag book

This ABC is cute, you press a button and it lights up, if you look at the B that is lighted up, little welcome block on the corner there. Here is one of the pages with the shirt on.
.

Yesterday I made one the girls a brag book for her new baby that she is having next month, hopefully she will get inspired to start her own book for her family, wished the supplies was around when my boy's was little. On one of the pages I put a little shirt that I made, Luca the dad is from the Islands, in the summer we see him dressed in shorts and his Hawaiian shirts, his saying is "you can take the boy from the Islands but you can't take the Island from the boy".

Project Tuesday Joy Fold Card

I used PT idea for my sister birthday card, but it will be late as her birthday was yesturday and its her youngest birthday to-day. Pauline and I are the same age for 2 days, tomorrow is my birthday.

One of our bible students from Uganda, Robinah with her box, which she loved very much first time she has joined the class.

Angela one of our regular crafters, well done angela.

Cupcakes

Yummy cup cakes from Waitrose, Julio had this one and I had the lavender one, nice but expensieve.

Message

Sorry for being late in posting, time flies and the next thing ya know its a month gone by already, I have been going to the gym 3 times a week, my dieting is slow, I have tried to go black onto Slimming world then Weight Watchers but not working out so know I am trying Rosemary Connolly diet and that seems to be OK, its low fat and exercise every day I've even put my husband on it as he is getting fat.

Also looking for a part time job but its very limited here in town.

I will be teaching a couple of classes at the Crafty Women craft group @ Christchurch this year, we are still working out the dates and such.

So at the Brandon group we are doing the Exploding Box this month and posibly at Christchurch next month.

Altered Clipboard 2

Ok here is another board, could not upload on previous post as the blog would not let me, so this one is to hang up, its a Prayer board. The big circles in the middle have little gems, I have used Craftworkcards card candy www.craftworkcard.co.uk , they are paper brads with out the backing, come in candy colours.
I used some more of the scripture sticker's and some 3D butterflies, coloured ribbon, tag.

I did a flower that I got instructions from my Magnolia Ink magazine, lovely mag.

I made a mini book for scriptures, you could put photos in. I just punched a few cards from my large circle scallop punch, hole punch at the top and held together with an eyelet.

Altered Clipboard

Here is a clipboard that is usable, I bought a plastic coloured clipboard from Tesco £1.30, then I covered with papers and embellished with flat embellishments, I covered the whole thing with clear sticky back plastic.
The scripture sticker were a Christmas gift from a friend who goes to the States each year in November, so she brought me some goodies.
At the top on the clip are assortments of ribbons, this project went well at class last month, so well that one of the young girls went shopping to make more at home. I took pictures of the class projects with my mobile but I need to figure out how to load those up.

Mini Exploding Box

Inside of box I put a butterfly in. i did ink the edges on the paper, the paper is on both sides of the tabs so you could journal on the reverse.

Top of the box using 3D outline stickers and colouring in with Sakura pens, let them dry before cutting out.

Well I made this from a craft magazine that I bought, the only thing it is a bit small, so for the class I will be making it bigger, saw one in YTC, I believe Anni Hafermann did a class on it, but I will have to guess the measurements for mine, the small one is ok for those passport photo sizes or if you have a printer at home to make small pictures, which for me is more expensive.

Cupcake/ Muffin box

I found the instructions for this box on the web, through Scor-pal www.scor-pal.com , so if you go there click onto the project section and scroll down to ONE CUPCAKE BOX for tutorial.

I used some of my scrap material to see how it would turn out, and as it turned out ok I will give it away to one of girls in class, although I will be filling the box with some Thorton Choc. as she does not like cake. I used the nesties for the tag, I think I need to buy some more in smaller sizes.

The front of the box I cut a see -through window with my scallop punch and I used some acetate I had to cover, the flower was done with the flower punches I have and in the centre I put a purple gem instead of a brad. You don not have to put a window in as it is one of those optional things.

Note to my friend Debbie, you could do this for the office, does not need alot of materials, and you would not have to embelish, just nice card of double sided paper.
