Out of my comfort zone.

This is a giant wooden heart that I decoupaged. Its not the sort of thing I normally try but had fun getting messy and trying to be creative. 

I was really out of my comfort zone doing these.

I thought I would share them with you.

Below is a picture of both sides of the plaque.

Bookmarks

I joined a group recently and this month is a bookmark swap.

Here are my entries.

I have decorated both sides.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mini handbag

For the next craft club we are doing boxes,bags and tags.

Here is a little sneak peak at a mini bag I made, it was my first attempt and I am quite pleased with it.

I used transfers and flat back pearl embellishments, I think this could be addictive lol!

On a creative roll..

A lovely a lady at our church turns 90 ! very soon so made a special card for her. I kept it quite simple.

And as I had all my craft stuff out I decided to make another 2 cards. I love playing around with different embellishments and the feathers just had to come out!

Thanks for  popping by.

Getting out of my comfort zone.

                           A few cards I have made today, 

I tried something a little different its good to get out of your comfort zone from time to time.                                                                    

This and that.

I have at last found the creative mojo I have been lacking for so long!

 Below are 2 bookmarks I have made, they were decoupaged then stamped and heat embossed..

Below are 2 more cards made for the up coming craft club.

Below is an ATC with a paper mache owl and fibres. 

Had a lot of fun doing these.

Hope this creating mojo stays put for a while.

Craft Club

The start of the craft club is soon approaching and hubby got some lovely postcards done for it.

I just hope people would like to come. Here are a few cards I have made to use as examples of what they could make in the class in June.

Simple teabag folding and I am starting a Free craft group !

I have not had a go at teabag folding for a long time, and watched several You tube demo's , I had forgotten how addictive it is! lol Here are a few simple ones I have done.

I am starting a Free ( yes free!!) craft group at my church and looking for simple and cost effective crafting idea's. I have called it coffee and craft.I am hoping people will come, I have got some postcards printed to put up around the local area and  also putting it in the local paper.

We are doing vintage style cards and tags for the first class, will keep you updated how it has gone.

ATC's and a few simple cards

I made some simple cards with two of my favourite stamps. I kept them very simple and used just a few colours. These are added to my stash for some upcoming birthdays

I decided to do a beaded embellished card and I quite like the finished effect.

A few ATC's I made, they are a great way to use bits too small for a card.

Wire work

Yesterday I attended a class for beginners in wire work, it was a Birthday present from my in laws. I really enjoyed it. Below is what I made in class. I think I may of caught the wire work bug as I really want to have a go at some more.

I made two rings using buttons and wire and a brooch.

When I got back from class I had a go at making a beaded brooch.

I tried to style it on a poppy.

Nearly there..

I have just about completed a card order, here  are a few I have made so far.

They are for various occasions.
