Crafting inspiration

Thanks to this fantastic blog http://shabbyblogsblog.blogspot.com/ my blog is now looking beautiful and ready to go. Now that I've finished work for my maternity leave I need something to keep myself busy. So here is my inspiration, ranging from gift bags to sock creatures.

Mother's Day

A card for my lovely mum, thought I would share it as I love the image. Also made her a keepsake photo book. Hope you like the new blog background I fancied a change with something bright and spring like.

DigiStamp Boutique Spring time candy

A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge

I made this card for my sisters birthday and it fits perfectly for this challenge, which was to use brown as the base colour then use either pink or blue as it was for my sister I had to choose pink and the image looks just like her. The papers are from my stash box and the image is from the digistamp boutique - they have fab images I love so many of them.

One of my favourite things

After another day crafting with Amanda this altered notebook was something she showed me how to make. I loved making it, even though it was a bit of a challenge. I can't remember where the papers are from but the colours are inspiring and these papers have become my favourite to use. I am entering this into the creative card crew challenge as its all of my favourite things all in one.

My creations after the fab crafting day hosted by Stephanie

I had a great day with Amanda on Saturday crafting, as you can see we made lots. Stephanie (Stamping and Sharing) hosted a fantastic day and I think she is one of the kindest and most generous person I have ever met, so thank you for a fab day and the goodies. I can't wait to make some more of these boxes they are ideal for Christmas treats.

Easel Christmas cards

Am addicted to making these cards, so two more for the Christmas collection. I love these images and will be using them loads. The papers are forever friends and everything else is from my stash box. For a tutorial on making the easel cards head over to Dewdrop craftz.
