Water colouring


Well I finally got to try out the water colour paper!  I'm very happy with the result.  It reminds me of the northern lights :)

If you want to know how I did this let me know and I'll see if I can do a video of it (Never done that before but i would be willing to give it a try :)

Be safe everyone, until next time :)

Dryer sheet christmas card

I love this card, was cased off youtube.  I think it looks fantastic! This is the link....

You can't really see the glitter but it also has glitter all over it. Amazing what you can achieve with a dryer sheet!  As you could imagine I was straight out to the dryer and threw my last 3 sheets into the dryer for a little while just so I could make this card..well all 6 of them :)

CWA - International book

Totally away from craft making, I'm also a CWA (Country Womens Association) member and am also the International Officer for our branch.  Each year we are given a country of study and this year it was Botswana and we can make a book about the country that is then judged.  Well today at our Group meeting I found out our book came 2nd in our district which has 11 other branches.  I was very excited :)

Our next country is Italy, I'm very excited to do this country and even better I will be visiting Europe next September and Italy is one of the countries we will be visiting.  Though I have been to Rome in 2008.  So I get to use my crafting skills again! YAY :)

Christmas Cards

I just put in an order to Stampin' Up! for some more products, can't wait to have a play and try out a new technique I learned on the weekend and it's to do with water colouring.  I'm a bit excited :)  I will post what I achieve with it.

Another new product I really like is the Fuse fast.  It is a super strong adhesive and works really well!
