Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone, I haven't made a card in a few weeks or done much craft, so today I made this card for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge, the theme is "CHRISTMAS" and we had to use the Cartridge Celebrations or any older cartridge you have, I used Celebrations and cut out the dog with the party hat, but instead I made it into a Christmas hat! I used different Christmas papers, rub-on's for the sentiment and white glitter for the hat!


Have a GREAT weekend!

Bye....

School Projects!

Hi everyone, as I said I would I am doing a  post of my Pin Board I made at school and a few other ones I made this year, I choose this subject because it is making and creating stuff witch I really enjoy! Each term we make something different first term I made a coaster holder, second term I made a tiled mirror, third term was the pin board, and this term we a make something else..........Firstly is a picture of the Coaster Holder........(you don't need to read all the instructions below if you don't want)

We started off with wood, then we got our choice of wrapping paper ,cut out all the shapes and glued them on, we used clear paint stuff to give it a shiny coat on top........on the tiles we used the cut images glued them on and coated it in resin to also make it glossy and shiny.........next......

 On this on we also started off with wood, measured it all out, cut it to size.........then we ruled lines to make sure our tiles would be put on straight........then we got to glue our tiles down and filled in the gaps with grout......we hammed the mirror in and it was ready to take home..........now my latest one...
The Pin board is my favourite I love all the colours and what you can do with it..........we stared of with wood 1m by 1m......we firstly covered it in Dacron (Fluffy white stuff) then we layered on top of that the material, mine was all sweets and yummy stuff........then we marked out the spots for our ribbon to rap it around using a stipple gun.....we hammered the silver tacks in....and lastly we covered the back with material.......we got to choose all our material and ribbon and for the coaster holder and tiled mirror we also got to choose :) The Dacron made the board fluffy and thick as you might be able to see in one of the photos below.......
This photo below shoes how the photo slides under and stays on the board.......you can also put pins into it...
This isn't a great photo, but it kinda shows the fluffy stuff behind the material and how it fluffs up....

Hope you ENJOY these other projects I have done........BTW there are a lot more steps then what I have above, for each projects didn't want to bore you too much.......:)

Thanks...

Something Different......

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't put anything up in a while........today I have made something a little different to what I usually do.......I made these bead key chain things, what ever you like to call them...........I made them this afternoon when I got home from school because I new I needed to do a post but wasn't in the mood to make a card.....this is what I made today......

You can hang them off bags, keys and any thing you like.....(the colour in this photo below isn't the actual colour it is more like the colour above)

I also made a few more a little while ago, I first learn't how to make these at a bead shop, doing a class........I made one for my nintendo dsi which is HOT PINK my favourite colour I made it to match....

 I made this bracelet as well which is a bit different to the key chains, I don't wear it much anymore but I still like it........and the matching key chain

This last one is the one i had on my old nintendo ds which isn't very silver any more :(

I have made a few these for my friends, but don't have photos of those ones....
Hope you enjoy!

I also will show you something else in a few days which i have done at school (craft related sort of).......

Mini Mouse.......

Hi everyone, as you may know my Mum (Tracey) went to America a few months ago, she brought back some really cool stuff, but I think this was my favourite.......Mini Mouse in a pink polka-dot dress! Today I cut Mini Mouse out on the Cricut, using "Mickey and Friends"! I cut all the layers out, but realised my Mini had polka dots and this one didn't.....so I cut out tiny circles on "George Basic Shapes" and layered them on the pink dress and her bow.......This first one is the one I received from Disney Land when Mum flew over.........
And this is the Mini I cut out on the Cricut and added some crystal effects..


Here is the Mini's together...
The Mini Mouse that has been cut I might make into a LO........and take pictures of my Mini from Disney Land...

Have a great day! :)
