Copic Challenge Card

I've just finished my card for this months Copic challenge at Scrapbook Fantasies. I don't know why I'm always on the last minute however it's due by midnight tonight so I've just made it as usual. I probably should have been working on it today but instead I spent the day with two friends cutting our fabric for a mystery quilt workshop being run by our local patchwork group over the next couple of weeks. Great fun!

Thinking of You





It's another Easel card because I really like them. The image is a digital from Mo Manning, coloured with copics. Sorry the photos aren't the best. The light wasn't very good this afternoon.

May Layout Sketch Challenge

This is the page I created for the May Layout Sketch Challenge at My Creative Slice. The border was made with my favourite ribbon. Alas, I didn't have quite enough to go all the way around so I used two flowers to fill in the gap. I love blue and brown as a colour combination, especially for a male page.

The photos are of my grandson, Jaidyn, celebrating his 11th birthday.

UFO's


I've actually managed to finish a small project that I've been working on for about 5 years (not constantly,lol). It was a project that I could just pick up and take to my patchwork group meeting, sew a few stitches, then spend the rest of the time talking.


Work Bag

It's a small work bag, and is made from 7 large hexagons that are pre-finished with wadding and backing. Gold beads were stitched to the top to hold the cord. I really like it, especially as the fabric is printed with bird houses.
