Giant tag

I made a giant tag last night using papers from Funky Hand (V Funky). The photo is of my eldest daughter Abigail when she was 9 months old. We were on holiday on a boat on the Thames and there was this stonking great pole down the middle of the boat which she loved to hang on to. We joked she was a budding pole dancer!!

Funky Hand

Well I have to say I've been in heaven today. My 1st 3 Funky Hand CDs arrived yesterday and so I've been playing last night and a little bit this morning and a little bit late afternoon too! LOL!! All the papers are fab! I've been creating like a mad thing. Some of my creations I'm happy with and some didn't turn out quite as expected but hey ho we live and learn. The hardest thing is that because some of these cards might be shown on Create and Craft, we have to try and avoid stamped images as they like to only show stuff they sell. I can however use my Cuttlebug so (oh dear) I may just have to get more supplies for mine! The rest of the DT are incredibly talented - I hope I can keep up! Anice says we can blog what we make so here's what I've made so far. See what you think...

Crafty afternoon

Well to distract myself while my baby was at her first playgroup session I indulged in a craft session. I had another play with my Funky Hand paper blossom papers and made a couple more cards.


I used paper blossom papers, buttons, large bloom, ribbon, Heidi Grace rub ons and paper blossom alphabet to make the word "friends"













For this one I also used paper blossom papers and alphabet. Again I used buttons, glitter glue and a swirl stamp.

DCM challenge - pins & needles

I bought the latest download from Funky Hand today. What delicious papers they are! You can find them here. I used them when making this weeks DCM challenge "pins & needles" - design a card using pins or needles of some sort.

















I made a brown square card blank & covered with one of the papers from paper blossom at Funky Hand. I then cut a strip of stripy paper (again paper blossom) and adhered it 2 thirds of the way down the card. I stamped Lola (Sugar Nellie) onto white card and coloured her with watercolour pencils, then partially cut her out and mounted her on more paper (paper blossom again) and then onto brown card. I doodled stitches around Lola. Next I cut out one of the patterned flowers and a "Happy Birthday" sentiment and mounted lower right. I edged the flower with glitter glue and attached some DCWV ribbon with a safety pin to the lower right of the card. Lastly a velvet Prima flower and jewel brad in the top right corner.
