First play with my Big Shot

I got a Big Shot from my lovely fiance for my birthday and had my first play with it yesterday.  Decided as it's Christmas soon that I would make some decorations which I saw my friend,Erika, demonstrate at our local craft shop.

Used the follow:

Lost & Found papers by My Mines Eye
Spellbinders Shapeabilities 6
Glittery accents
Clear fishing wire

First I die cut the shapes.  Smaller flakes I used 3 die cuts and 4 for the larger ones.  Bent each one in half and stuck the halves together after matching up the patterns using glittery accents.  Made 2 large flakes and 3 small ones.  I linked them together using fishing wire.

Very happy with the end result thanks Erika for the idea x

Xmas reef

It maybe really early to post this but I made this reef for Christmas 2010. Decided I wanted to make one as it was my first Christmas in my new home with Chris (my boyfriend). The base and all the additions were bought from B&Q, the idea was to add something to it each year. Haven't a clue what I'll add this year so watch this space.

First Post!!!

After a long time deliberating I finally decided it was time to start my own blog.  So here it goes.... most of these photo's have been created a while ago hopefully I've remembered the dates etc.

The stamp used is Sugar Nellie's Amelia coloured with pro markers.  Was a stamp I borrowed from a friend at my local Crop a few months ago.  I stamped the plane back ground using Plane and Simple from Stamping Up.
