Hand Crafted Memories

I recently posted some projects I had made using the Craftwork Cards project of the month Warren. I then wrapped them all up and sent them on because they look sooo much better in real life. If you go over to the blog, you may see a familiar face , well name at least. Also you should check out the Inspiration section for some great ideas. I have just taken delivery of this months project pack, Tres Chic , I'm going to have to make something with it quickly. I'm afraid its so delicious my drool may spoil it. It is gorgeous! I also found the Shabby Blogs website, OMG they have the most gorgeous templates and gadgets to dress up your blog. Well I started fiddling and now I'm hooked, you may have noticed my new image. What I can't believe is, this is all free, yes you read that correctly FREE! How the heck? If you like Websters pages you are gonna love some of the FREE backgrounds. It's real easy to make the changes and there are some great tutorials for those of ...

Finally from the same Warren Project of the month pack from Craftwork Cards , I have made two more cards. This kit has gone on and on, I can't believe how much you can get from these kits. I still have a stack fo cards, and four of the Warren ovals left and a couple fo sheets of paper, although one piece has been cut into. Well worth the money if you ask me.

Bunting seesm to be everywhere and what better way to celebrate Warren's arrival thatn some bunting? Yes this project of the month from Craftwork Cards is still going, and there's still more to go at. A real bargain at £17.50, go here to see what you get in the kit. For this bunting I only added 1 sheet of 12X12 cardstock.      

The monthly project from Craftwork Cards , just goes on and on. I posted some of the projects I made last weekend here . There was so much left that I am still playing with it, here I've used some of the papers, candi and cards, I added a piece of 12 x 12 card stock to make this lovely page of my two nephews when they were little. The silver and blue papers, with black and white photos is just gorgeous, can you see the mats for the photographs? I used two of the on the edge  cards and cut them down. I liked the bracket edge and its was just the detail I needed here. Over on two peas in a bucket , they are running free monthly classes, 4 each month, by 4 different designers. Shimelle Laine 's classes are to build up from one photo on a layout adding another photo each month. So February's class was to use two 4X6 photos. It was this class I had in mind when I created this page. How are we going to get 12 4X6 photos on the layout in December? I'm very intrigued.

Last weekend I took delivery of the latest project of the Month from Craftwork Cards, it was choc full of Warren delicious goodies, there is tons in this kit. The Warren colour me's are lovely, Promarkers and Copics, colour beautifully on them. Here is a card I made using one of the fabulous on the edge cards. Isn't he cute? I then made a little gift bag using the papers, these bags are best made with card stock, but these papers are more than papers, you have to feel the weight to appreciate the quality. They are definitely substantial enough for this. and finally for today here is a picture frame I made, I love making these frames with lots of detail. these papers are great for baby projects too. I've also used the papers on a scrap book page but am struggling to get a good photo at the moment.
