A crafty Poem

I saw this on the DC forums and I had to share it here...



Don’t crumple that wrapping paper,
I can use that don’t you know.
Give me that pretty ribbon,
It’ll make a pretty bow.
Save me all your Christmas cards,
I’ll use them too you’ll see.
To make some cards for next year,
Recycling mad, that’s me.
Sweet papers and tinselly charms,
Don’t throw them all away.
I’ll store them in my craft room,
And have a crafty Boxing Day.

Late night toppers!

I really could not sleep at all through the night, so decided to be very mature and grown up and grabbed my pens and a blanket and coloured in for a few hours!

Here are some of the things I finished!

Penny Black, Momento black ink, coloured with Promarkers.

The Gelly pens add a 3d effect and texture to the image.

Home made Promarker storage!

Hi all!

I have noticed a few people asking me how I store my promarkers and my various pens that I use on every card I make.

Well, until I received all of Mum's craft stash, I was storing them in the official letraset storage cases that hold 24 pens in one case.

I had about 60 colours, so this meant individual cases which became a pain in the backside when I was crafting away and needed to see all of my available colours at once!

I was also limited for desk space, unless I worked on the floor!

When I received Mum's stash, I discovered where all of her promarker pens were stored!

Here is a nifty, compact and most of all, PRACTICAL way to store all of your promarkers, or indeed copics or any pens you use.

This box holds one of EVERY promarker available and still has some space!





Mum used a small flower punch on sticky backed paper to put on the end of the pens once she had coloured them so that you can see clearly at a glance what colours you have! :D

Reorganising the blog!

I asked for some advice on the DC forums and I have been making some changes!

I now have a separate page for the items I am selling and I am adding some gadgets to the sidebar! :D

I have to enter some challenges too!

Better get to it!

A handy little tutorial.

Good evening all!

...or should that be good morning at 3am?

I have this handy little link I came across today and it is by far the most useful little guild and video I have found for how to tie perfect little bows!

You use a fork believe it or not!

These little bows are fantastic as embellishments for cards or scrapbooking!

Have a little look here!
