~Make My Day Birthday Bash 1~Garden of Eden Hoops~

When creating my greeting cards yesterday I came across these beautiful sheets of origami paper which I've had for a long time....

I liked them so much I didn't want to use them as it seems a shame to cover up the beautiful design but also the sheets are a lovely textured type. It suddenly came to my mind to use hoops to frame the sheets and to do nothing else with them. I've seen this done with really pretty fabric and it looks so nice hung on the wall. I hope that you agree that its the best way to use these.

Make My Day ~Swing is my Thing~

I've always said that you can recommend themes and things for me to try and make but sometimes it means waiting a little while for me to get my thoughts together or to be able to actually find something to create the theme which is what happened in this situation when...

suggested I do a swing theme. I had so many ideas but I just couldn't get the supplies together but eventually everything fell into place and I created this...

After my 2 hoops projects I had this one left over looking for a home...
I then came across an ebay listing for musical paper finally and bought some...
also after many months of looking for a swing image I came across this one...
I printed it out,
it was too small
too blurred
what to do?
In the end I cut around the image,
drew around it on pearlised paper
stapled 3 different colours together in varies places
and cut around it again
and this is what I did with it!
I then added buttons,
wire and stars...
the wires horrible!
 I really must keep an eye out for some that slight thicker
as my other gold one was much easier to work with.
I hope you like what the end result is.

Make My Day....Born To Be British!

I have a giveaway currently going on at my burst of bubbles blog offering these salt and pepper shakers which I actually really like but won't be keeping as the shop I bought them from have so many fun different ones that I want to buy them all and I really can't afford to start another collection can I?

Whilst wrapping those I was thinking about this idea that I came across and really wanted to try but also thinking about making the children at work some Christmas cards out of another idea I saw but don't have a link for. It was using Japanese paper to make baubles and stuck on to white card... it looked so effective.... That resulted in me creating these...

I ended up making a set of 3 using paper, rubber stamp and thread.

Isn't it annoying that after you've created something all these ideas come flooding to you. With this one instead of the black outline I wish I'd done a wiggly one to match a telephone wire. We have a cordless one now but I've always loved the idea of twirling my finger in the coils.. I'm glad I thought to use the rubber stamp numbers to match the dial.

I remade this one and like it so much better.

This one was actually the first one I made, with this one I wish I'd made the border like a postage stamp but I'd already completed this one and had nearly finished the telephone box when I thought of the idea.

As for the paper if I'd plan this through it would have been so much nicer to have printed off some union jacks instead but I guess it had to be red to match all the redness of all things British. Even though I've had a good whinge I absolutely love how they have all turned out and for a first attempt. I will definately be making many more of these... hopefully very soon!
