Hobbies and Crafts

Just added one from me.......
l used embossed card and painted lightly on the flowers, using my whisper pens with a very fine paint brush, well diluted, before that l printed the words on the front, l think the words could have been bigger, but too late now..dohh...then stuck the embossed card to either pink or blue (lightly embossed with dots) and then added 2 diamond fingies to each card !!

See how ell this thread works. Well done Jude for pointing Jean in the right direction.

Thank you Jean I would love the template. Is the envelope likely to not go through the letter box? We will be away until 19th so maybe it might be better if you held it until then. Thank you though for the thought.

Paula welcome. Your memory book/heritage book sounds great. PM me if you want the address for the blog.

Aww thats great:o))

Jude I have just bought some lovely lace in fact two lots plus some bundles of ribbon, I will use some of the lace on cards too...thanks once again..
love Jean xx

Hello Paula nice to meet you, hope we get to see some of your work have a word with Ann in Glos she has just set up a blog and its great.....

thanks Jude will have a look.

Ann the lace I am after is about 4-6 inches in width, the crib I want to make instead of sending a card, is a crib on a stand and fits in a see through box, they call them heirlooms to hand down generation to generation, they are by Arty Farty Crafts if you google it you will see what I mean....they are so pretty and you sit a tiny teddy on it too...

I have been rooting about and found some templates I have one of them is a guitar so Ann if you want it its yours, I wont use it again,
just let me know....

Love Jean xx

I'm a scrapper in New Zealand - and use the Creative Memories range of products because they are acid and lignin free, so deemed archival. I do traditional 12 x 12 and use their Digital Programme too which is so fantastic. I am doing my fathers heritage album using that, and have scanned all photos and memorabilia to use in it. This is a fantastic way to do heritage - you can crop photos (without cringing) and if you stuff up can 'undo' and start again.
The finished product is a personalised hard covered book that not only will stand the test of time but is always a great talking point that wows everyone.
They have consultants that are generally a wealth of information and they offer workshops. Check out if there is one in your area.

Jean....try this on ebay:o))
