Farmer Duck School Bags

Hi again, yes twice in one day, whatever next haha!!

These are 2 bags I made for my daughters school, she works with the little ones and her favourite
story she tells them is Farmer Duck.  I have made the big sack for her to put all the words, masks and books in, and lots of other related items.  The smaller bag is for the children to take it in turns to take
a toy and other bits and pieces home for showing to their family.  I know this all sounds double dutch but honestly it does make sense when you see it all together.  :)

I used material to do the printing on that I use for quilt labels and then rummaged my stash, I found this animal print material left from a project and hey presto we have 2 bags.

She has just phoned me and the bags have proved really popular so it looks like I am going to do Elmar the elephant, and Gruffalo just for starters.  I don't mind really, I thoroughly enjoyed making them to be honest.
Hope you like them
Thanks for looking
Take care

Old Age is on it's Way

Hi Everyone
I have made this card for my dear husbands birthday. He is not a well man but still
has his sense of humour (I Hope!!).
He knows I love him and I am sure he will enjoy this card.
I got the digital image a long time ago and cannot remember where I downloaded it. I think
it is great fun. I wish I could remember where I got it, if anyone out there has a clue I would love
a link to the site.

I coloured it with my fab Promarkers and attached the flags with twine, (even that's given up haha :)

I am going to enter it into the contest by

Take care everyone

Little Miss Paddy

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well.


I have made this card using one of my favourite stamps by Lili of the Valley and used my promarkers to colour her in.  I think she is so cute and so typical of many little girls, (never the right present - I wonder what she really wanted)
I cut a base for the flower and flourishes using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles into foam, it's the first time I have cut foam with my dies and I am really pleased with the result, so shall do it again.
The flower and flourishes are from Spellbinders Positively Me set. The papers are from The Oxford Collection by Kanban, just added gems, peeloff corners and bow.
I am going to enter it into the contest that  Passion for Promarkers are doing. Contest 199

Go an have a look at  the prizes they are offering, hurry as it finishes Monday night.

Take care

Envelope on a Card

 
Hi
I have  made this card for a friends Birthday.  I just wanted to make her a card with a difference.
I made the envelope and added the 2 white rose sprays and bow. I cut a glitter doily in half and put
it into the envelope.  I am sure she would have preferred some money but the doily will have to do LOL!!!  I enjoyed doing it and will make it again and probably incorporate some stitching. I have a
few ideas in the old brain box and will get round to it sometime.
 
Yep!!  another round2it  haha!!
Thanks for looking in

Fairy with Flowers

I have coloured this lovely fairy image with my Promarkers. The stamp is from Sleek Designs, I have used Glamourdust glitter on the wings after colouring them with the lovely pastels in the Flexmarker range. The colours are so soft, I love them. 
I used part of Spellbinders die A2 Floral Ribbon Threader to cut out the card, and mounted it on paper from Forever Friends Kraft Notes stack, all fixed to the silver mesh I found in my stash, added the buttons, butterflies and flowers, also from my stash.

I am wanting to put this in the challenge by Passion for Promarkers - Button it up

Thank you for looking
