Happy Easter

I don't celebrate Easter - except from perhaps eating some chocolate, which to be honest kind of misses the point! lol
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
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!
Sorry about the water bottle in the first piccy....
I do love all things purple!

 Mary had a wedding to attend last month, this was the card I made her for the special day x

 A few close ups for you.... I do love making quilled roses.

The button picture was a commission from Sharon.... I'm really happy with the way it turned out. She must have loved it too as she's asked me to make one for her family too x

It's a manic few weeks for me. We have a very poorly pupster at the moment and a very very busy couple of weeks at work with all the Easter classes and kids clubs.

Happy crafting whatever you are up to xxx

Crafty mash up

I was set a crafty challenge by a girl at work a couple of months ago.
She was heading to a wedding and wanted to commission me to make a card...... the theme was to be Scottish meets Irish...... new challenge on me! lol
No as everyone knows, I do love a challenge, so I got my thinking cap on and this is what I came up with..

Their invitation had a thistle with a shamrock on it..... so I just recreated it (with a twist and Nikki style)...
I've been told that they loved the card - it's always nice to know that the person who ends up with the card enjoys it....
This weekend I am creating some samples that could well be making it to a garden centre near you! I'll take loads of pics and do a blog post when I can...... There are 200 samples to make in the weekend with everything from cards to bunting and children's crafts..... Better get back to it...

Hope you have a great weekend, whatever you are doing.

Happy crafting

Scott & Nicki's wedding card

I was asked to do a wedding card as a commission.
I had to feature a bride and groom and the colour green..................
This is what I came up with

I think the image is a Lily of the Valley one....
I bought it as the SECC last year......

Today I am out and about.... but later on I will be playing with all the lovely Kanban stuff that I bought yesterday!!!!!! I'm gonna be busy! lol
What are you up to?

Weddings....

I've been a bit quiet on my blog over the past few days..... well I can now tell you the reason behind that one....
One of my sisters got married!
So off I went to London with Kris to see Amanda marry Adam.
They had a wonderful day and both looked very very happy. They are now off sunning themselves somewhere nice and hot....
I'll let you see some of the photos when they come back from the photographer.....
Here though is the card that I gave her.......... what the picture doesn't show is the glitter that is all over the wording. The wording was created using the silhouette machine.

I thought it was quite good as the something blue!
