Make My Day ~Keep in Touch~

A couple of weeks ago I offered this Telephone Box but first I had intended on making some greeting cards so had put these images together. Since creating the box these images have been sitting on my desk getting in the way so today I finally decided to continue with my 'keeping it simple' in order not to completely drown everything out and create some cards. The card on these greeting cards is a glittery brown/bronze colour.

 

The first ones I just used some postage stamps that paperedthoughts had sent me as a thank you and I'd forgotten about until I started sorting through my pile of envelopes (I say pile but they are all put into a basket under my bed until I am ready to put them into my box of letters). This card is A5 size (a printer paper sheet folded in half), I actually really wanted to turn that one in to a slim notebook as I think it would look great but I don't know if any of you would like that considering on the postbox it says 'Birthday Collection' and one of the parcels says 'Happy Birthday' that's actually quite annoying as I don't really like words on my things unless they really fit in. So if you get this and would like a notebook let me know.

 

The others are also straight forward with the typewriter one having alphabet stickers on, I did think of using a more typewriter looking one but these Shredded Wheat ones add a little something to it. The last one I've used scrapbook paper with writing on and I've cut up washi tape to get the little stamps.

 

I think I'm doing well keeping it simple but I am itching to do something fussy so maybe next time :).

 

The writing paper below will be available also for another week so get shouting Make My Day in the comment sections.

 

Good Luck!

These words will be included too.

Make My Day~You are...~

As I mentioned I wanted to make something simple....

I've used rubber stamps, ink, alphabet letters and yarn to create these postcards. Here's what I came up with....

They were so easy to make and look so effective. This was inspired by some of the feel good projects I've been doing lately but whether they made someones day or not only they will know.

I wanted to make a whole range but today and yesterday my niece turned up and it was hard to do them. The Amazing one I stamped with her sitting in my lap because she some how always ends up there without me realising it, its why the stamping isn't so well thought out. I used an A4 sheet of card cut in half length ways.

 

I may make a couple more depending on time.

Make My Day~Rubber Stamp Alphabets~

I really love rubber stamps especially alphabets even though I find I don't use them enough.

When I went to the store yesterday and saw these I decided to get you a set to get creative with.

As you will have seen from my secret letters you don't need to have maufactured stationery in order for your letters to look great even though I must admit its quite addictive and I can't help buying it.

In the good old days I used to actually make my own and I hope there will come a time when I start to do that again but first I need to make a dent in my collection as well as stop buying it.

Thank you for taking part in the secret letter swap as the letters I received were great but also it was quite alot of fun to decorate them and I may do another swap like this in the summer. Two of those letters are now on their way to create some surprises to all involved since no one knows whose written the letter but also I decided to keep it a secret as to who is receiving it so both people will receive a surprise.

I do need your help once again though as I would love you to leave some

Make My Day ~Paper Dolls~

Today I wanted to do something simple, something I didn't have to think too hard about and just by chance I picked something up off my desk and saw some templates for paper dolls and I couldn't help making them....

It was fun to think of something different to do with them both but its a shame they don't have much of a face with features. I bought a rubber stamp once for it especially but the face was too big to fit in the space... maybe at some point I'll go in search of another.

You can use these as bookmarks or as a bit of decoration.
