So, it's been a while...<br />
I've decided that in 2020 I am back blogging.<br />
I know that there are many social media sites that people use these days but I like blogging.<br />
If nothing else it's a place to share the adventures that kris and I have been on or some of the dt work I have done.<br />
So watch this space!<br />

I've been really busy over the last month, lots of commission work, some things non crafty that I can't share with you guys yet (but I will as soon as I can) xxx<br />
I always like a challenge or 2 and one of these commissions came in when one of my colleagues at work discovered that I crafted!<br />
Sorry about the water bottle in the first piccy....<br />
I do love all things purple!<br />

He's just so cute!<br />
The die I've used is one or the square dies from Creative Crafting World. I really do love their dies and the amazing cut and look that they give.<br />
<br />

Happy Crafting<br />

This was the image that I worked with from our sponsor - The Paper Shelter.<br />

<br />
We'd love to see what you make.<br />
Over the winter months I love sitting in front of my wood burning stove and colouring in some digit.<br />
So relaxing.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend whatever you are doing.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting<br />

WoW! It's been a little while since I've blogged.... so much has happened .... it's been a busy few months and I'm afraid my poor little blog has been neglected a bit.... I'm not even sure that anyone reads blogs anymore...... but hey, I do have fun writing it and it's an easy place to put my tutorials so that I can find them again...<br />
I think for me though it will be more of an online diary that will include photos of things that Kris and I get up to, although this may well change again..... lol<br />
<br />
Happy crafting<br />
Whatever you are up to at the moment<br />

(Me included!)<br />
So I set myself the challenge for some clean and simple cards....<br />
Here is what I came up with...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
All of these cards can be made in under 10 mins each so nice and easy for that card that we might forget!<br />
<br />
It's great to batch make some of these cards so they are good to go.<br />
<br />
I'm off to sort out some more of my studio, it's nice to finally be able to see my desk.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting<br />

I use a hot glue gun for the gluing as it sets instantly but you can use any adhesive. Glue your 2 outside edges together.<br />

I created a selection of different sizes.<br />
If you glue 12 together you'll get a beautiful flower ball.<br />
<br />
I'll show you my finished project very soon.<br />
If you make any let me know. I'd love to see them.<br />

Kris has collected dragons for a while now and as he bought me a 3d pen for Christmas, I thought I'd try and make something 3d with it! Lol<br />
Here is the little friend I made for him....<br />

Sadly I have had to make too many of these cards this year.....<br />
Either people passing away or people who are very ill.....<br />
2016 has been a very strange year so far...<br />

But....... they are rather expensive.... so I came up with a different way to use them...<br />
This is what I did.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used one pot of the unstoppables and some mini organza bags....<br />

I created a funnel from scrap paper to make it easier to fill the little bags.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKKlaoblihtd3u2zC7lz_6O2a5nrbMwNm0vZw5oM9sGjMC_lf2f8QMas6wyFFTObXgQBtwZDRmls0whMdoCftdQREB7dQUNxpdsH7WiQBkRxwP_MiJj7M1yGL7r-Q3rm-P95rlwU861DE/s1600/20160124_104850_resized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKKlaoblihtd3u2zC7lz_6O2a5nrbMwNm0vZw5oM9sGjMC_lf2f8QMas6wyFFTObXgQBtwZDRmls0whMdoCftdQREB7dQUNxpdsH7WiQBkRxwP_MiJj7M1yGL7r-Q3rm-P95rlwU861DE/s400/20160124_104850_resized.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
Once I'd filled all the bags I secured them tightly at the top and then placed them into all of my drawers.<br />
I did this a couple of months ago and they are still going strong, all of the drawers smell lovely!<br />
So now I still get the smelly on my clothes but a tub of the unstoppables lasts soooooo much longer!<br />
