Make My Day~Secret Letter 1~Flowers, Lace and Parties~

Secret Letter
Here is another letter and this one it completely decorated by me and I had so much fun doing it. I don't know why but I've been thinking buntings and doyles lately and since Spring is in the air once again I thought this was the prefect theme to use.

Doesn't spring put a wonderful spring in your steps, like someone playing music in the background for you to dance to, the flowers are growing, the buntings coming out for weddings and parties but of course there are those little grey days too....  Well its how I feel anyway!

I have decorated an envelope as you can see but I won't be using it to post your letter as it won't fit! I can only fold the sheet in half but for some reason I never thought that would be a problem so I'm including that in with the letter and if I feel up to it I will make a new one otherwise you will except the oh so attractive brown envelope. Ah well its better then no envelope right?

If you would like to have this letter
Please comment with

Remember if you receive this letter you can write a letter to the owner of it
or if you feel they aren't quite what you wanted then
why not send them a little postcard in exchange for it.
Hopefully though you'll have gained a new friend.

This is on its way!

Make My Day....Notice me....

I always say it but I really don't know where the days and time has gone, I've sat many times to sit and craft something but now have a million and one different projects on the go that I need to complete so that I can offer them to you to take....

Are you a fan of these cute little bears? Over the years I've received quite a few as gifts but I'm most impressed with their images so when I came across a whole box of rubber stamps at the store I had to have some... I only bought 2 but its so tempting to buy the others... I won't though as you can only use them so much!

I had the image of a notice board in my mind so I bought some cork especially for it. The background  I used ribbon to create a fabric style notice board which I left some of it raised so that you can put some words of your choice on the front. Then I used the cork to make a cork board style notice board... as a pin I used an eyelet even though I have tonnes of brads.

For colouring in the image I used distress ink on the background and pro markers to colour in. I'm quite disappointed with my pro markers as they are too wet and even though I use a permanent based ink it smugdes so I'm going to keep an eye for a different ink incase its that.

This time I tried to keep it simple but that space at the top is irritating me so it may end up slightly different, I'll see. This uses the same things as the one above but I've added in buttons and a brad.
