~Make My Day Birthday Bash 1~ I Love To Be Within Nature~

On Monday I went to a store near my house with a craft section and came across the Tulip Essential Range which I absolutely loved... I almost bought the mini version of these premade but they were small and not worth the price but I really liked them so in the end I decided to buy this set as my Forever Friends one was the same thing and it was definately worth the money.

It was a pain messing around with all the foam but I love how they turned out and almost gave them away without doing anything to them but I had to and this is what I came up with....

I've used origami paper as these images have such an oriental feel to them, ribbon, mulberry paper, gems and buttons. I had to keep it simple as they images are quite big and if I did more to it they would have been lost.

If you would like 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.
