A friendly little card that can be made by anyone and used for anything.....
This card is made using the Craft Planet activity pack, a blank white card, black paper and some pink coredinations cardstock.

1. Cut a rectangle from the pink card and sand the edges. Layer this onto black paper and trim, making sure you leave a little border all around the edge.
2. Fix this into position on the card.
3. Draw a frame around the whole of the card.
4. Add the foam circles, making sure that you go over the edges of the pink card.
5. Doodle details onto each of the cirlce.

Fun with the children

Sometimes, as a Designer we are challenged to do things out of our comfort zone.
And, often, when we do work outwith our normal comfort zone, we actually find out that we like it! lol

Just recently I have had to design some projects with Craft Planet items - these are designed with children in mind (but that is children of ALL ages!).

Here are some of the things I came up with......

I always enjoy working with children when they are creating. They have none of the fear that sometimes we have as adults.
Over the next few days I will show you some more of the projects I made.

Last week - more of the white stuff

Much as I love the snow, and it was very pretty to look at...... I really like the fact that it is now gone again!

But I really liked some of the pictures we took, so I thought I would just share this one with you.

Tick tock......

Why is it that no matter how well intended your plan is to get onto the blog and post....... things like life just get in the way.
I've been rushed off my feet with the house and the building work - then cleaning.... along with demos and all the prep work for them...

I need to get some new piccies taken and get them up here for you to see.
My fav thing of all the super things I have had done to the house is the dish washer!!
How did I ever survive without it!?!

The wonders of modern science! lol

I'll be back soon with some crafting projects.
Til then...........

The straps of the flip flop are beads.
