Handmade presents

Well presents have now been opened so I won't spoil surprises and I can now show you some of the handmade presents I made for Xmas. This garden book was sent over to Melbourne Australia for my Mum. Sorry the colours are bleached out on the main pic. The book can be used in a few different ways, either to put in pics of your garden throughout the year or to record plantings month by month, a combination of the two or do whatever you like .......................................

I used my bind it all to bind the book & made the covers from mountboard which I then covered. The stamp I decoupaged & coloured with Whisper pens & chalks.

Sad day

I've just had to make a difficult card. A sympathy card for the family of a special friend of mine who passed away in the USA on Sunday. We were all saddened to hear of Iris's passing she was a special lady.





I used a beautiful Iris stamp (for obvious reasons) & coloured it with Whisper pens & cut out & raised the image with sticky fixers (large rectangular ones for stability) then stamped the message with the new stamp that I bought at Harrogate Papercraft Fair at the weekend.
