My Diary

Hello!

I spent most of yesterday and last night designing and making a card for a commission order. I will blog it later this week, hopefully, but unfortunately I didn't get time to do anything else!

So today, I'm going to show you the diary that I made for myself. I don't know about you but I can't keep track of my life without one and as I made them for my friends I thought I deserved one too!

I used a sentiment from Express Yourself and yes, it is for me! I sometimes need reminding that I am actually amazing, even if only in my own little world! The frame of the sentiment is from Hello Lovely and I punched the panel out with the Decorative Label punch.

The butterflies are from Papillon Potpourri and are punched using the matching Bitty Butterfly punch. I added little bits of ribbon, lace and twine for interest, and part of a die cut from the Lattice Bigz Die.

Supplies used

A quick update on my foot...it was still a bit swollen this morning, and quite bruised, so I decided the gym would not be a good place to go, so I went swimming instead. It made quite a change! I may have to swim more often!

Have a good Wednesday!

A diary for Dad!

Hello!

Do you remember those pretty girlie diaries I made for my girl friends? Well, here is a man version for my Dad!

I have used a retired stamp set for this but the DSP and the embossing folder are current, as is the Chevron Ribbon and the Linen Thread.

The embossing folder is The Square Lattice EF and the paper is from the This 'n That collection.

Ok, so as Keiran is going to his Dad's at 2pm Christmas Day,  Christmas Eve is where all my family celebrations will be starting! We are having Christmas dinner today, then it's presents on Christmas day. So I may be MIA for a couple of days. You have a wonderful Christmas, and I can't wait to catch up with you all after Christmas!

Altered Diaries

Hello!

Today I'm going to show you some little gifts I made for some friends instead of Christmas cards this year. I was running out of time to get cards off to them, so I decided to make these and send them instead...

These are diaries that I have taken the cover off and re-covered with DSP from the colour collections that are available as downloads for MDS.

The stamp is from Hello Lovely stamp set, punched out with the Decorative Label punch, and I layered them all up with bits of ribbon, Crochet Trim Victoria and Linen Thread.

Here they are in different colours...

I really enjoyed making these and I hope my friends enjoyed receiving them! :)
