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 ~Spotty, Dotty Pegs~

Yes! Here I am again offering something to you. Hopefully everyone I sent a postcard to has received it by now.

 

Anyway I was itching to make some simple but lovely pegs and I have a thing about polka dots at the moment. I've only made one of these sets but if this turns out to be popular I will make another set and pick 2 people to receive them. They are great for using indoor to attach notes, letters, photos etc... to them.

 

So if you would like these

why not 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 ~A British Party~

Since the beginning of the year when these British themed items became available in the shops I couldn't help but drool over them and I really wanted to own some items but refused to pay the full amount. I waited really patiently and recently I noticed they were half price so bought myself what I wanted but I'm sure they will go even cheaper. In August I woke up one day and suddenly felt I wanted to create something using a corner punch... I didn't own one and usually when I create corners I make up my own template. So it meant going in search of one at the craft shop in the city, the owner told me she'd ordered loads but they would arrive the following week... how impatiently I waitied but I did and went a whole week later to buy one.... I also received a present from a parking warden but thankfully the only thing I've had to pay is the postage to appeal against it.

 

Once I bought everything this weekend I sat and created these and I honestly could have kept making even more... I've kept the background the same because I needed to beat the sun-set and rain clouds....

The bus one I wanted to write London but I didn't have any Ns in white so had to go with the next thing even though I'm not 100% happy with it.

 

Remember you can always click on the images for a bigger photo which will link to my flickr. Now though I really need to sit and make some Christmas cards but for some reason I keep putting it off....

If you would like these postcards shout
