a bit of this and some of that...

.... although awol from here I have been making a few things in my crafty room.  Seem to be into boxes and bags at the moment, so here are a few that I made with my Ultimate Pro....

firstly three bags....

 

 



 

then I started on boxes,  you can't really see the design on the top of this one in this picture but...

 

 

it comes across better in this picture - always handy to have a masculine little box ready to pop a little gift in for the men in your life....

 

I really enjoyed making this heart box and there will be many more coming off the production line shortly.....

 

finally a little wedgewood box...

 

I also wanted to make a special card for a friend who became a great grandmother this week (I still say impossible, she is much too young) and although this isn't the 'normal' style of baby card I wanted to incorporate the baby's name - Poppy - so used my all time favourite poppy stamp.



Less in more, but not all the time.

I wanted to set another challenge for some of my Paper Doll friends and decided to go away from my normal less is more style to a really OTT, throw everything at the card style.  I rummaged through my stash and selected 5 random items..

Black Guipure Lace

White Flower Trim

Black Card

Pink Gemstones

Cerise Feathers

 

I worked out how I wanted to use each of the items before I really decided how I wanted this card to look, then I simply had to rummage through my stash again and found these 3 toppers which went so well with the colours and completed the look I was after.  For once More is definately More.
