EASTER NUMBER TWO..

 Hello everyone,

I'm back with another fun Easter card and the last one, that I made this year..

This was for the same lady that likes her four grandchildren in the one card, so here we go..

I die cut 4 ovals and using scissors I cut a zigzag pattern so they still interlocked.

popped them onto a blue panel..nope, needed paper.

so each panel had a layer of patterned paper then the egg went on top..

and the top half of the egg had a brad poked through it..

So it did this...and inside will be a tag with the childs name on it..

The front, which had extra gems on the eggs and was very sparkly..

Egg one for Mitchell..closed

Open..

the middle panel had clouds added..

net up for Like..closed

Open, their little tails were so cute and fluffy..

second inside panel for writing a message..

Then Jacks egg and tag..

and finally Sienna..love those little chickens..

Here is the four panels..

the reason why I didn't get to show them totally finished, it was all an after thought, and the lady was on her way and I fiddled with them, she came, they left, and not photographed..

so, there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

EASTER PROJECTS ..DT

 Hello everyone,

I hope you have a wonderful Easter with a long weekend thrown in too..

My DT project today for Little Red Wagon us " Show us your Easter projects "

I only made two this year, this is the first one..

I bought these pretty papers a long time ago because of the lemons ( as you do )

But they really are spot on for Easter.

So I cut out a bunch of eggs and stenciled

gold dots on this one..

The clouds and sun

and this very tall gate for the eggs to nestled in front of

 with the cute bunny looking over the top..

thank goodness for pre organised sentiments stamped or otherwise..

and found three of these that I had stamped and inked..

and glued it onto the grass..done.

So please come on over HERE and share what you made..

thanks so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

" M " IS FOR MASCULINE..DT

 Hello everyone,

Wednesday time again and I'm in mid morning on the day writing this and nearly had a panic attack as I had not got my post ready for this weeks Little Red Wagon even though my post does not go up until 11.30pm at night, still..anyway, I'm onto it now, and our lovely Imke is hostess this week and her alphabet theme is " M " for Masculine...my favourite kind..

So what did I make...I made a masculine Nautical style booklet journal card..

12 x12 fold up along the bottom 4 inchs...open it up

the fold side to side...

fold up the bottom again and glue the edges and down the center

 and you have a two pocket page.

cover every panel

with full sheets or scraps or both..

scraps..perfect.

then I glued in a hinge technique.

adding papers..

until they were all covered and I had a booklet with

 pockets  and all in one so to speak.

Then the decorating which is always the best bit..

die cut stars, stickers, inking etc

Die cut  Anchor( He's a big one )..and layered up the ropes wrapped around it

a lighthouse sticker which is a little card itself leftover from the die cut panel to write on, I couldn't throw it away..

Front..

untied..different tie you will notice, a shoe lace wa sthe final cut.

first two pages..lots of ephemeras and die cuts..

lift up flap panel and pockets underneath..

old packaging covered and pocket made..

Flap lifted out..

Tags..

tags out..

Stickers and die cuts in other pocket..

tag out using scraps of leftover netting paper on the edges..

another tag with die cut waves and a boat.

Tag out and it is a shaker..

Tag inside pocket, and the stars have sticker in

their middle to brighten it up..

Tag out...more torn papers with book pages..
