This is what I did with my feathers

I wanted to make a giant size tag, the one I have made measures 14x10and a half inches. I first of all cover the card with white paper I used inserts out of 12x12 album
I started by inking up the edges of the page, green of cause lol




I then continued to ink up by  useing  ink dusters and distressed ink in shades of green, purple and pink



Then I added two layers of lace to the base of the card. I then  stamped the edges with a lavinia cherry blossom stamp, which I later coloured in. I then added a die cut (tim holtz) bird cage and birds, the feathers, a flower I made some beads and the title
I am going to hang it up inn my craft room, as I like nothing better that to listen to the early morning dawn chorus, I made this tag using that as a theme

I thought I have a go at making feathers

I have a Wall hanging project in mind where I am doing a tall house shape, adding  a bird cage, some birds, glitter,  feathers  tree branches, flowers and musical notes. I found some music sheets in a bag of goodies I was given by a friend, the music was entitled Sunrise Serenade, it made me think of birds and there morning song,  so I decided to make the feathers out of the music sheets, these feather will go on my finished wall hanging

Altered Ikea coat hanger

I have altered this coat hanger, lol in green I think maybe a bit too much green but never mind the idea is that I can hang a LO or piece of art from it in my craft room I will be able to change it whenever I want. They could be uses in any room you could hang a piece of needlework or anything from them even a nice tea towel in kitchen

Rosettes we made in crop

I was amazed how easy these rosettes were to make we made them in two different ways one using a circle punch any circle punch will do, the other using apiece of 12x12 paper a strip say 12x 2 and you can leave a plain edge, do with decorative scissors or use a punch to do the decorative edge

The Card I made for my husband for Our Anniversary

Its was my husband and I anniversary yesterday, here,s the card I made him




Its an 8x8 card not the best photo I must admit will try to take a clearer one 

A few days back I finished some decoupaged toppers for card I not made cards out of them yet, watch this space for the cards
 Some time back during one of my charity shops searches I found a clock which unfortunately I did not take a before photo of, It was a modern picture inside I got it with the view to altering it, and finally during last week got round to it, My friend has recently has decorated her craft room in purples so I went with that as my main colour as I was doing it for her I hope she likes it
