WooHoo another decoupage day for me today. This had two purposes for me one to stop me eating every bit of chocolate left in the house and the 2nd was to occupy my time instead of doing the boring old house work!!!!!!!!!!!

The First one is a basketball boy made from papernation sheets
The Second one is a little boy enjoying life!!! with his little pup unsure of the make of sheets used for this one, some I had stashed in the cupboard no doubt, Thanks for looking.

I've gone decoupage crazy!

I think decoupage is definitely the way forward for me! I started to make a card tonight with some lovely backing paper I got for halfprice at Hobbycraft. I got halfway through the card and was about to bin it when I got a brainwave. I remembered a cute decoupage buddha I had made some months ago and thought it would make a lovely good luck card. What do you think?

My ever first blog

Thought i would show this card, i decided for a change, as Mariahsoaps is up to date with orders until tomorrow, i got bored, went out and spent a fortune on card making stuff, it all adds up eh?

So what do you think? My youngest daughter is 8 years old and she loves art and crafts, she has decided to decoupage, so i have been showing her how to do, i have not got much patienct at all, but she is getting the hang of it.

Soap, here is a soap scroll, i made a few of these for a wedding, i have not made many of these, i love these scrolls.

White Bunny Hat

Well Alisha my daughter has to make a hat for easter to wear into school on Thursday so today we sat round making this one........................ well we think the end result is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was quite suprise how long it took us we did cheat a little because the hat template did come from tesco but SSSSSSSSSSSSShhhhhhh!!! I wont tell if you wont, its still a very good effort. Our next try will be the same style hat in an easter theme..FOR A BOY!. well we do have a few ideas I will post a picture when we have done that one..

Thanks for looking.

Decoupage - a work in progress!

I thought for this post I would show before, during and after photos of a decoupage card I have made. I am really enjoying this skill but it can be tricky and I almost lost this one it was so fiddly!

After all that, here is the finished article. I think its a beautiful card that any girl would absolutely adore.

Happy Mothering Sunday

A really hard day for me today with it being Mothering Sunday and all. Even though my mum is no longer around I made this card for my MIL to mark the occasion.

The pyramage card is made from a royalty free image using 7 layers of the same picture.

The verse inside reads:

Somehow we always say the least to those we love the best

And hope our thoughts are understood.

Although they're unexpressed

-That's why it means so very much,

when days like this are here

To say how very much you're loved

each day throughout the year.

Happy Mother's Day

Thanks for looking and Mum's everywhere enjoy your day!

Happy Mother's Day

I made this card for my Mum's Birthday last week, but it seemed appropriate to post it here today.

Rubber stamped Birthday card - with ribbon and button detail.

I simply stitched the button through the ribbons and fabric to hold in place, then attached the piece to the card with 2 brads on either side. I love my little rubber stamp alphabet set - great for card crafting :)
Hope all Mum's are having a lovely day.

Cards and Stuff

Hello crafters, Vonnie here!

I'm really pleased to have been invited to contribute to this fabby bloggy thingy! I love making cards, I make them purely for personal use, have never sold or attempted to sell anything. Wouldn't know where to start actually! I've dabbled in decoupage, played with peel-offs and enjoyed embellishments for just over a year now and am always keen to try out new stuff. I learnt to do some origami after going on holiday to Tokyo last year and have used a few bits on my cards which I've been really happy with.

The one thing I find difficulty with is cards for boys and men and I have yet to find anything to really inspire me. I am sitting here right now racking my brain as I have to make a card for a 13 year old boy - I have until tomorrow afternoon so any ideas would be welcome!

Well I think I've bored you enough, so thanks once again for inviting me to share this exciting project.

Back to Front

Hello from me, and thanks for inviting me to blog on craftzone. I thought I would start by posting one of the cards I made today. I thought I was doing so well until I finished the card and realised I had made it back to front, which is great if your left handed. Which I am NOT! OH well it will add to my catalogue of disasters. I've also yet to discover the best way to take photos of the cards I make because they never seem to look quite as nice in a photo than in real time...... answers on a postcards please.........
