A GIFT OF SUNSHINE

Hi all, I apologise for not being around but I caught a stomach virus, I will be reading all my e-mails today and coming to visit, until then I thought you might like to see my little gift bag, I found this tutorial on Vicki's blog, Stamp Smiles, she calls it a bagalope as it is made from an envelope.

I found some spare yellow envelopes and used one as the bag, I followed the tutorial and used an EK border punch for the top, I have used one of the new vintage images from Pink Gems and coloured her with Copics, I have used Joanna Sheen tapestry embossed black card, gold linen effect card, paper from Ooh La La new CD, yellow organza bow, one of my own double layered crochet flowers, paper clip and sentiment.

My son James will be giving this bag to my sister for her birthday filled with some of my crochet flowers.

I would like to enter my project into the following challenges:

JOANNA SHEEN - GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS

FAB 'N FUNKY - FOR THE GIRLS

WORD ART WEDNESDAY - ANYTHING GOES

A GEM OF A CHALLENGE - BRING ON THE SUNSHINE

ALLSORTS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I hope that you like my gift bagalope and have enjoyed your visit I will see you soon.

FLOWER BOX AND TILDA

Hi all, I hope that you don't mind looking at a few photos of my Flower Box, I have used this box to feature just a few of my favourite things, I have made to box from Kraft card, I crocheted a Chrysanthemum flower which I have adhered to the top of the box along with some die cut Memory Box leaves.

I stamped the main body of the box with flower stamps from a set that I bought from Waltzingmouse stamps a long time ago, I used TH distress ink.  I used pink linen effect card around the edge of the top of the box and punched it with an EK Success border punch, I used the same pink card for the scalloped die cut circles around the four sides. 

I used two of the larger flower stamps and centered them into the scalloped squares, I then added two of my beloved Tilda's and two greeting tags with twine threaded through. 

This box will be filled with Turkish Delight for my sister's birthday.

I would like to enter my box into the following challenges:

MARVELLOUS MAGNOLIA - SPECIAL LADY

THE SISTERHOOD OF CRAFTERS - FREE FOR ALL

CRAFTY CREATIONS - PINK PLUS 1

FOREVER FRIENDS - LOTS OF FLOWERS

ALLSORTS CHALLENGE - A PASSION FOR FLOWERS

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the photos of my box, I will be showcasing some more of my crocheted flowers at different times, I am really loving making them.  Thank you for visiting I do hope to see you again soon.
