life, love and crafting

 

 

Well I've been at it again making a few cards, some on commission and some for my wobblymouse selection box.

 

Mr photography and I have been attending some weddings with family so I made some cards for mummy and grannymouse. What made it really fun was that I got to make them with mum when she visited for her birthday.

 

We got all the bits out on the table, chose colours, toppers, layers and then the words we wanted inside.  Thinking about the love and hope that two people are showing when they decide to spend the rest of their lives together.  Plus it is so much fun to get together with old friends and family whilst making new ones too. 

  

 

 

 

 

For the wobblymouse store box birthday cards butterflies, flowers, pussycats and boofle. 

 

 

 Using a combination of hunkydory and  docraft collections, and experimenting with my joy cutting machine, inks and promakers. I had fun thinking of celebrating the years passing and life's experiences growing.  

 

 













Making cards to share with friends, letting them know that there is a special day that we celebrate them.

Well the weather has turned cold again and with that I have started knitting I found some rather interesting wool. It really makes a lovely long and snuggly scarf to protect from all the snow and ice.

 

Well that's the wobblymouse crafty news, other than I had a lovely visit to the Hunkydory cafe in Newport and had some amazing cake, buying some to take to work for my colleagues to enjoy too.  If you are ever in Newport for lunch I really recommend it - very yummy selection of freshly made vegetarian dishes by my blogging buddy allotment to kitchen.

card making

Well after some winter blues I finally felt inspired to make some cards and started with a few of my favourite things - cakes, cats, best of British, love and friends. 

 

I had purchased ages ago a number of Hunkeydory packages, such as cards for children, ladies and favourite things, also the Kanban celebration of Britain.  These packs come with toppers and matching card and sentiments that you can then put together with a few bits of your own such as card blanks, gems, and glitter, matting and layering all the bits together until you make yourself smile.

 

 

    

 

 

The children's cards were fun to make as they included a nice selection of ideas from cute to fun.  The card and toppers have a nice combination of shape, patten and also foiling.

 

 

    

I was able to add a few little bits and am loving my new glue pen and glitter, also my glitter gel pen with either clear, silver or gold star.

I then got into the celebration of all things British, after the high of 2012 with all the great events that made us all forget the rain and feel proud of ourselves and our country. So i decided to go all red white and blue for a bit. 

 

 

 

 

 

I was going through my craft cupboard which seems to fill itself. I find it so hard to resist buying pretty card, papers, toppers or embellishments. They make me smile, sometimes a card just pops into my head when I see them or a person.

 This time I found some Docraft Heartwarmers, some flowers, champagne flutes and dresses. Also some embossed and cut papers and card I had made using my Joy machine. I decided to make some cards to say hello to some friends.

 

Luckily for us in twelve months we will be celebrating with five wonderful couples, their love and commitment to share their lives together. I love a wedding they always leave me with such a warm feeling of comfort, love and hope for the future. Plus they are simply so much fun.

 

 

Well so far 2013 has been a year that looks like we will have lots to celebrate, lots to share and lots make.
