Make My Day ~Stamp Box~

I wanted to try working with stamps so decided to decorate a box. I find it really hard to cover up all the pretty designs but I had to force myself to do it instead of trying to line them up neatly which I tried to do at first. So I've tried my best and I hope you like it enough to shout...

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~ Travelling Bear Bookmarks~

I've been as busy as a bee today, crafting and it felt so good.

I made these bookmarks but I'm not sure yet if I'll add some ribbon to it or not

What do you think?

I decided on the back to write a quote about books to fit in with bookmarks

and hopefully next week I'll finally get around to using the lovely quotes that you shared with me.

I won't promise anything as I seem to be lacking time in the crafting department as you'll have noticed lately.

Still I've done something a little new with these as I've used actual stamps

which I've never done before

but also made use of my calligraphy pens

even though I'm not all that fantastic at it.

I really should look in to taking a course one day as I'd actually love bigger and bolder handwriting too and this could possibly help!

By the way

I have a new blog

why not check it out

Strawberries and Buttercups

I can't wait to see you there as that blog is more about me.

Anyway if you would like the wonderful bookmarks above
