Forever Friends Music Birthday Card

 I made this card for a music fan who happens to be a radio DJ.

 

This decoupage is from a very old DoCrafts Forever Friends Card kit, which is no longer available, I sorry I can't link it.

 

I doodled a little Radio

 

I decorated the inside of the card and the envelope with music notes.

This card wasn't being sent in the post so I used the Postage Stamp images Stamp set from Papermania (blogpost to follow) to decorate the envelope.

 

I'm really happy with the card, I'm enjoying the simple look.

Do you still have or did you own this Forever Friends Craft Kit?

Till next time

Me To You ~ Tatty Bear Birthday Card

Latest Birthday Card using Docrafts Me To You Stamps.

 

I don't normally stamp straight onto the card but I must've have been feeling very confident. I stamped this Tatty Bear image onto an already embossed Butterfly Card. Using metallic gel pens I highlighted bits of the embossing and stamped a little Butterfly (from the same stamp set) onto the Bears t-shirt. 

  Inside the card, I also stamped straight onto the card and added a few Butterflies. 

 

When I know the card isn't being sent in the post, I like to decorate the envelopes with the Postage Stamp images Stamp set from Papermania (Blog post to follow).

I'm really happy with this card, I really like the simple look. Maybe I might stamp straight onto the card more often.

Do you like to use stamps? Do you use backing papers or stamp straight onto the card?

Motif Peg Bag ~ Crochet

I was going through the many crochet patterns in my Art of Crochet folders for anything I can make to not only use up my yarn stash but use in our home. I stopped on this Motif Peg Bag.

 

Peg bags remind me of my Nan. Helping my Nan with the washing I would get her Peg bag from the shed and pass the pegs to her. Just seeing the picture brought back so many happy memories. A peg bag will be perfect for our home.

The Colours I chose for the bag are Pink, Grey and White.

 

The Motifs took a while to do

I edged around the Peg space with Grey yarn

The back of the peg bag is a Granny Square ( very fitting don't you think )

Once the front and back were complete I again used Grey yarn and joined the two together.

For the lining I upcycled one of my Mr's work shirts. 

 

I also used an old wooden hanger.

Final bit was putting the lining and hanger in place and I have my very own Peg Bag.

I'm so happy with it. It's Perfect, if I do say so myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Have you crocheted an item for your home? 

Please leave a comment below, I would love to know.
