valentines/mothers day flower pops

I made these for valentines day but could also work for mothers day.

 I simply layed paper flower that I'd made, inked and doodled.

 finished off with green paper leaves and green ribbon.

Heres a 30th canvase I made for an order.

I love how girly it turned out.

I have been doing alot of little things in my home recently.

My old bathroom cabinet was looking a little tired.

So off I went to Ikea ( I love it there sooooooooooooo much)!!!!

I picked up this cabinet for an amazing £16 but I didnt like the grey back.

so I decided to alter it, Off to B&Q I went and found this lovely wallpaper. It matched in my bathroom perfectly.

I covered the back with double sided tape and covered it before fitting the back. I so pleased with my bespoke cabinet x

Lowyns tat-tat-too

Jan 2011- The writings on the wall

I've had such a busy month!! I didn't realise till I looked at my camera this morn just how busy.
Thought I'd share some bits.

First I decorated my kitchen

 I started off in jan by decorating my kitchen.

 I made this canvase to hang on my wall and the heart hangers to decorate my new baskets.

Once I'd got the decorating bug I moved swiftly onto my living room.

My poor Husband never knows what will greet him when he comes home from work lol.

I'm a spare of the moment kind of girl!!! once I have an idea thats it I'm off x



 I've had this photo of Dayna on my wall for such a long time(she was 5) I love it.

 She looks so cute and squishy xx

 I'd taken it down to decorate and the photo had sliped from the mount.

 (and that was it, I didnt need much of an excuse to get out my stash and alter it.

I hand cut the flower and heart. Faux stiched the heart.

I Used a Tim Holtz die for the book paper leaves.

 And for my fav, The paper flower. I made this by watching a video tutorial.

 I love these flowers so much I decided to make a few for my stash.

I had always seen these on others projects and loved them, so decided to get educated lol

Here are the links to the you tube videos

Next for my BIG project " The writings on the wall"

I've been thinking of doing this for a while.

 I used to have gold writing on this wall

live .love. laugh

This time it was going to be much bigger.

 I started by typing my phrase out in word. I changed the font and printed it the size I wanted.

I then positioned on my wall and taped all the sheets together.

I turned the whole thing over and traced the outline with pencil.

I then turned it the corect way round and carfully traced the outline the a ball point pen.

 Once I had the pencil outline on the wall.

I then drew around the outline with a black sharpie fine tipped pen.

Then I filled it all in with two coats of black acrylic paint.

I know it took me along time but well worth it.

 I finished it off with a wall sticker that I found on the net

http://www.decowall.co.uk/red-flower-branchbrin-the-windbrwall-stickers-122-p.asp

They have lots of fab designs, I now thinking where else I could have one... lol

I really love the result.

On the subject of love I mate this cup cake Valentines card for my husband

(I know its not till next month but I'm getting ahead)



 And finally I got to scrap book a couple of LO's

This one is Jans kit from Papermaze crop that I attend every month.Except for this month as it was my Husbands Birthday and we went ice skating....

It was designed by Lou Collins http://prettypaperandchipboard.blogspot.com/2011/01/welcome-2011.html she is very talented and I love all her work x I was so very pleased that she had designed this months page!!!And that my girls pick me up one Thanks xx

 I added a paper flower that I'd already made.

 I did this Lo of my girls I wanted to tell the story of their relationship and the love they have for each other.
Again I used a paper flower( they will be on all my projects from now on lol).

I hand cut the heart and layerd it together.

I then made a hole and tied on the string and finished with a button.

I wonder what next month will bring...........

Happy new year !!! here's to a great 2011 x

Pick me.....
Here are the little gifts that I made for my scrap booking girls, for Xmas.
Thought I would share them with you. Loved them so much made one for myself xx To me love from me!!!

They are used when creating a scrapbook layout.

You simply pick 3,4,or 5 sticks at random and have to include these on you page.

I decorated a bean tin, made a label. 

created and added embellishments.

"Simples" as Aleksandr Orlov would say(I got his book for Xmas lol).

I used large lolly pop sticks for the options, I made 10 in total.

This idea could be adapted for other situations

 eg. dinner options (ingredients). Free time (read,craft,TV etc...)

I could go on but I won't.....xx
