Make My Day~Recipe for Love~

Apparently Love involves

Lacey Silk Underwear

Good Music

and Sparkle

so what better things to craft with!

I bought a new gadget yesterday so had to use it

(I'll be crafting about said gadget on my other blog tomorrow)

I cut two hearts out and stitched them on top of each other

which is an idea I've seen but never tried and I think it looks good.

What do you think? 

I had to do something different with the ribbon so came up with

the rippling idea but I don't know if I like it...

If you would like this card

why don't you shout

Make My Day

in the comment section!

This is on its way to Lou La La

Make My Day....Chinese New Year Meets Valentines!....

February always brings along a few more festivals for people to celebrate... just not this person but never mind I can still join in this way.

I decided to make 2 bookmarks to make your day and I really hope they do...

Well we might as well stick to the theme of red which has a hint of black...

I have so much origimi paper that I often think its a shame that I don't get to use it as the colours and styles are amazing. I'm glad I finally got an opportunity to do just that with the background.

I next added the white flowery background which makes me crave summer.

This lady I cut around and stuck on top of the flowery background. It looks a little plain so I added the red borders.... if it wasn't a bookmark I would have added all kinds of embellishments and ribbon but its already has enough layers. The only thing that annoys me is that this lady is blurred but the quality was like that when I bought it, only in the shop it wasn't so obvious due to their lighting etc... Still its fun to work with them.

Next stop is valentines day which is still a week away but I actually made this first and then realised it was Chinese new year this week... but its nice to get double the treats right?

I started with my heart rubberstamp which basically looks like the top half of this bookmark. I still think that top part is missing something but I don't know what... I really hate that feeling.

I used my paper punch for the hearts, stuck the white card on to red card as it needed a little something so the border works nicely. It still looked a bit bland so I used a gold gel pen around the edges. Its times like this that I wish I had an embossing kit but I just think I have way too much craft stuff already without adding more.

If you would like these bookmarks, just start with 'make my day' and I will see you next week to let you know who will receive it.

These are now making the day of someone in Germany!
