Hand Crafted Memories

The antibiotics don't seem to be kicking in yet, and my sleep is so disturbed I got to work this morning and turned round to came back home. I hater having time off work sick but I just couldn't get through the day. Lots of sleep and cups of tea don't seem to have eased anything so maybe a bit of blogging will. This is my final project I made for the Craftwork Cards stand at CHA. It was actually the first thing I made, And came to me in a flash. I had been out for the day and when I came back the neighbour had a new hanging basket outside their house. Bingo, and using the pennant die from Spellbinders this is what I came up with. and a close up of the flowers then I added the Candi but didn't get a really good picture, I'm sure you get the idea.

At 11PM last night I reached 20,000 hits on my blog,wow! I never thought anybody would have been that interested in what I had to write. My craft room looks like I've had burglars its in a right old state. All this crafting with the Spellbinders and Candi is causing such a mess. I need to clear down ready to start again. Its a good job its not Gordon Ramsey's kitchen he'd have a good old strop over it. A couple of weeks ago I saw a book mark on somebody blog (can't remember who) it had a link to the instructions. I was so intrigued with it in a quieter moment I had a go, and here it is. If you've fancy having a go here are the instructions.

What about this gorgeous weather? I love it when its like this, however, here in the UK we have to enjoy it while we've got it because it never lasts. I had a weekend with nothing planned but to come up with some projects for Craftwork Cards . They have just entered into a cross promotional partnership with Spellbinders and as part of the Craftwork Cards design team I received a box packed with candi and some nestabilities dies. So this weekend was dedicated to bouts of gardening interspersed with candi/spellbinders activity.Because I don't know how much I can divulge, here is a sneaky peek, this little work of art took me hours to complete, but I was quite pleased with the end result.I'll show the completed project once I get the go ahead. I also wanted to post this scrapbook page, regular visitors will know how much I enjoy working with sketch or page maps, whatever you call them.  One of my current favourites is the Project 12 series over on Scrapbook and Cards Today ...
