TWO LITTLE HEARTS...

 A wee heart order for a friend...

hand painted and hand stamped.

A GOOD HEART...

A few weeks ago I thought I would try out one of the tutorials over at A Sprinkle of Imagination using a heart...I thought I would do two slightly different ones with the intention of using one as a giveaway on my Facebook Page... 

 

 This is the first one and the second one started out the same but a slightly different colour and I didn't like it so it got changed to this one below which is a different take on the wedding canvas a few posts below...lol...

 

I love the stripey sides painted in black and white...

 

This is what I gave to Allan on Valentine's Day...I think I will add the date of our wedding to it just to finish it off...

 

Hope you haven't got too much snow wherever you are today... we seem to have loads!!!

ANOTHER WEDDING ORDER...

This is another wedding order that I had from a lovely bride called Claire who it turns out has married the bride in the post belows brother...

 

This lovely heart is huge..30cm I think and it's been painted in the shabby style with a rubbed back top layer which I am quite liking at the moment...it was very nerve wracking doing the wording on it and I have to admit to messing it up...only once though:0)

 

 This was a present from the bride to someone else who is getting married this weekend...

 

 and last but not least these are some cute personalised hearts...

which I think look awfully sweet on the gift backs for her bridesmaids...

Have quite enjoyed doing these...

NEW THINGS IN THE SHOP

Some new things in the shop this week....

These two little owl cards I found in an old copy of the CARDS magazine and I thought it was cute so I did one each way...The patterned paper is a border cut using the Cricut and stretched...

Trying to use up older blanks I have in my storage boxes....these are so wee and dinky...

More using up stash....and some machine stitching...I am definitely getting better at that...

This came from an idea from RedLead(love their style)...I used the Cricut to cut the house shape from a piece of mountboard...not easy as it doesn't cut right through even with the deepcut blade(I think mine is broken tho as it kept going veering of so I changed back to the normal blade and just used a scalpel to cut through...) I had to cheat with the E as I didn't have any left so it's actually an F with the 'dot' (which is a square) from an exclamation mark and taped it on and then covered with patterned paper...There is also some more machine stitching on this one - zig-zag this time...getting braver...lol and the flower is a left over from another project...lots of upcycled pieces in here...

That's it today...Got some bunting that I need to string together and photograph but it's a little windy outside for pics so might not get that done today...I heard there is snow forecast for tomorrow so maybe not then either:0(
