Notes/ to do list pad

Hi all, I got these adorable Flamingo dies from Suha over at 

Swedish House Crafts,

Suha has some fabulous dies and stamps in her online store, which are really fantastic value!!!

and couldn't resist using them to make a Note book with them,

I don't know if you've seen, but Flamingo's are every where at the moment!!

I took a fairly thick piece of card board I had in my stash and wrapped it with a piece of Maja Design from the Sofiero collection, as the base of my note holder,

I then took a note book styled paper pad from my stash and covered the front with some more papers, this time by Pion Design,

I added a couple of flowers made with the Gummiapan 5 petal dies and some white stamens,

I then stamped out a Gummiapan NOTES stamp onto a piece of one of the papers, which I used to tie it all in,

I cut out the Flamingo dies in some card stock and added a little liquid pearl for the eyes,

On the other side I added a doodled circle die for a little added interest, then I added a Flamingo pencil from my stash, 

Items used:

 Gummiapan - Doodled Circles die 

Gummiapan die - Flamingos 

Gummiapan die - 5 flowers die

Maja design - Sofiero 

Pion Design - The Songbirds Secret

Pion Design - Where The Roses Grow 

Stamens - white

My Grand daughter has already claimed this as hers, lol

Happy Crafting!!

I am very lucky to have a craft room with lots of space for my ideas,

I tend to keep my basic items such as scissors, glues, tapes and bits and bobs that I use regularly to hand in front of me on my craft desks, as you can from the photo I have my sewing machine and Silhouette machine on the other desk too,
I have a second chair which fits in handy for my sewing machine, Silhouette Machine and  computer which is in the corner too,

I like to keep it all fairly tidy but when my granddaughter decides she's crafting in there, that's a whole different matter!!! Lol

This is my main storage area, where my papers, card stock and dies are kept then the worktop makes a fab place for my trimmer and die cutting machine,

In another corner I have these clear drawer storage units, with my ribbons, flowers and other bits and bobs in, my Tim Holtz stamping platform lives on here too,

so there's a quick view of my craft room and craft table,

Now onto the details of the giveaways!!!

Hi guys, I'm here today with a Halloween creation I've made,

Over at 14 Craft Bar some of my teamies have also made some fabulous creations to show you too, go check them out

I cut the coffin with my Silhouette machine, then after making it up added a handmade Foamiran rose on the top of the lid using the fabulous Black Foamiran 030 from 14 Craft Bar, all links shown below,

I also added some leaves and a calyx out of 012 Light grey Foamiran , these I coloured lightly with a little black oil pastel to give a darker effect, after all it is for Halloween!!!!!

I added some silver pearl liquid pearl on the edges of the petals,

On the skeleton I made him a hat out of card stock, ribbon and a feather and added a little flower on there too, adding a pearl button for the centre,

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!

Get well soon

Hi all, today I'm posting with a special post for

Magnolia-licious, courtesy of

Swedish House Crafts and 14 Craft Bar,

Before you read this further I must warn you it contains an image by Magnolia from the 13 Nights of Halloween, so if you wish to wait till you get your kit don't read any further, lol

Swedish house crafts and magnolia-licious have teamed up for this joint venture to show you how
two different online shops in two different countries can work together as a team, showing you how the fabulous mixing of Magnolia products combined with Roxanne and Gummiapan products work so well together,

As you probably already know Shawn the owner of Magnolia-licious is now selling Foamiran by 14 Craft bar and other products to make gorgeous flowers including the peach Foamiran and  the 04 stencil I have made these flowers from, these stencils are fabulous for making all kinds of flowers including the frilly type roses I have made here,

I grouped a small display of the roses in peach Foamiran for this event, along with a tag made with one of the new images from the 13 Nights Halloween kit by Magnolia,

I got my 13 Nights Magnolia kit 2017 from Suha owner of Swedish House Crafts and this time I coloured her in with my copics, to match the colours of my flowers, this collection is based on fabulous products for injury or get well themed creations and I thought a bunch of flowers always goes nicely for someone who's feeling unwell,

I used the stencil 04 to make the roses, then I used some of the Olive green Foamiran for the leaves and calyx's,

Do check out all the gorgeous creations on Magnolia-licious and Swedish House Crafts for this joint event including giveaways on both Magnolia-licious and Swedish house Crafts,

 I wish to thank Agnes from 14 Craft Bar for letting me participate in this event for Magnolia-licious  and Swedish House crafts,

Happy Crafting!!
