Easter will soon be here

Well today over here in Portugal, has been lovely, so much so I have spent most of the day outside..but I still managed to make an easter card for the Mum in Law... I have  not taken any pictures yet as I am waiting on daylight again, as my camera skills are bad enough without poor light to get in the way also..
Tomorrow I am spending the morning with Hannah my daughter in the craft room making even More easter cards, am sure Hannah can make a mess along with me.. so I will be posting some pictures tomorrow of what we managed to get done and how much mess we actually made..

Note Pad for Hannah

Right then what do you think to this......

Yes rather boring, and very basic.. My thoughts too so...

I decided to make it a bit more appealing to Hannah.. so out with the stash of papers, scissors and half the units...and I changed the look of the book.

And to be honest really enjoyed doing it, as it was a quick fix, and didn't really take any planning.

Here is what I came up with

Hannah loves Hello Kitty at the moment so that is what I did. Sorry the first two pictures look a bit orange, I don't think the flash worked quiet right.

Chocolate holder.

Hello it is me again, The other half is sat doing his Blog so I thought that I would add a couple of things to mine..


I was once again Blog hopping and I came across this idea, It is again easy to make, although I did adapt it from the measurements that the blog gave me, as I wanted to put three bars of chocolate inside it.

I Made it for the other half as you can see, I stamped Love you onto the card stock in black and silver, although you can not see it on the front, I then added a piece of green ribbon with a bow, that matched the ribbon I had used inside the flowers, I then attached the flowers,

I thought it looked a tad girly so I made a shirt and added a bow tie brad to it, and stuck that on the other side.. then all that was left to do was to add a little tag.. and it was finished...

Corner Book marks..

Hello there, this is just a quick one before I go to bed, I was blog hopping yesterday, and came across Corner book marks, and had to have a try, now your going to ask me which blog I was on, and to be honest I can not remember, but if I do go onto it again I will Update this post with the blog name. so here goes.

    Cut a piece of pattered paper to 15cm by 15cm
The paper here I printed from Paper printables

Then Fold in half

Then in half again

Now fold diagonally

Open up with one layer of paper at the top

Now fold the bottom layers inwards along the diagonal crease you made earlier

It should look like this when folded

Now you can decorate to how you want them to look.

I made these quick as they were a first attempt so they are pretty basic.

I made the blue one for myself and the bumble bee one for my Daughter.
