Make My Day ~Heart Attack~

It is so tempting to continue posting supplies on here as work is just super exhausting plus I've started making my Christmas postcards which I've only got a couple more to make. Still I'm determined to try and post as much of my handmade items on here as I'm making quite a dent in my stash as I had hoped to do which will mean one day that I can buy even more (even though there are times I can't help but thankfully its not paper).

Anyway on my strawberries and buttercups blog I did a blog post about a recent envelope/postcard exchange and someone asked how I made my origami hearts. I later did a post on all the different videos I've used on You Tube which made me think I could make a handful and offer them to you... well the handful turned in to 20 and I could honestly as always have carried on as its so therapeutic making these and they are so easy too.

You can use these hearts in so many different ways...
to decorate envelopes
letters,
turn them into bookmarks,
greeting cards
postcards....
I'm sure you'll think of something great to do with them...

Make My Day...Winter Wonderland Altered Pegs...

I can finally say that I have completed making my Christmas Cards and I actually feel really sad about it as I had so much fun creating each and everyone... I can't wait to show all of them on my other blog but first I need to take photographs, hopefully those will turn out right. I'll have to be quick though since I want to post everything out on Thursday so that things can be received in time.

Anyway I was on pinterest and came across this

I just thought why didn't I think of that as I have so many tapes. So today when I went to the supermarket I bought some pegs to try it but when I picked them up I realised that my tapes were bigger then the actually pegs. Never mind I'll cut them down but I didn't have a theme that fitted in with the season/celebrations coming up so decided to try that another time.... instead I came up with this....

Years ago I bought a Christmas/New year craft pack and finally got around to using the pad of wintery themed paper on my cards so you can see all the different types of paper that I've used. I decided to trim some down and decorate these pegs. I just used an ordinary glue for this one as last time I used mod podge and found it too messy. I have to admit I like this way better so I'll definately will be making more at some point especially to try using my tapes.

Aren't these the funkiest pegs you've seen? I just love the swirl of the metal part of the peg, I've never seen that before, it just adds a little something extra... well I think so anyway!

These are great to hang up your Christmas cards but not your washing!

Make My Day....I think its called Love...

when you hear music, receive roses and can see stars.... or is that only in fairy tales! Hmm... where ever it maybe today its here for you to receive!

I bought some more craft paper last week and began working on this card straight away. Its a style I haven't tried before so it turned out to be quite a pain and took longer then expected but I hope you like the outcome :).

I decided to keep it simple in order not to lose the effect of that gorgeous velvety patterned paper that you can see.

What bits of paper I had left I used it on the inside of the card and created the 2 musical notes myself. I will when I get the chance make an envelope for this. 

I also bought some great packs of Lucky Stars papers so I couldn't help creating 50 stars for you to receive too. Lucky stars are meant to have a meaning behind them in the sense of love but in my case I just like making them.
