POCKETS FULL OF BEE'S..

 Hello everyone,

I was just playing around in my craftroom, doing all sorts, and trying to get ideas to float  around in my head so I could pick one to play with, and these bee postage stamps popped up, and then I found a paper pad with Bees, an idea formed, so I went with it..

So, with the papers I made a mini booklet..

They were so pretty and I had been waiting to use them

and of course forgot I had them..

each pages had a pocket..

and I made these cute no glue or tape envelope pockets..

Double pockets..

mixed and matched papers..

and a lot more of these envelopes..this size using 4x4 squares..

and these are the postage stamps, cropped printed and the cut out..

sneaked in some lemon papers too..

then filled up the envelopes..

Also made some little tags, stamped the bee on..

and backed the tags with music sheets..

after filling all the pockets and adding bits and pieces, my booklet was done..

and I gave it away to my friend Beryl who loves bee's..

Cover was bit boring so fixed that in last photo..

and made some bigger tags to fill the pockets..

And there you go..

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

MADE IT...

 Hello everyone,

I finally got round to making some tags and being able to join in with Tag Tuesday by the skin of my teeth..

Again, I never really make one, so three it was..

Cut my tags out, clipped the corners, picked out some papers, and went with baby tags..

The papers are only 6 x6 and my tags a 3x7...so,

I cut another paper in half and added it onto the bottom.

Covered the join..

added sentiment...boring.

Ahhh...there is a cutie to finish off.

Tag 2 .. I have this cute little car so I cut out several times..

The body, the lights and a wind screen..

This ribbon came from my DIL, it was off sheets sets..

and quite a bit..

Tag 3..

same thing with the papers and cute little elephants..

These alphas I made last year, they are about 6 layers thick,

 but just a bit too big on the tag...so..

I glued the B & Y..

and popped the O on top..bingo.and gives some nice dimension..

Elephants..

Car and overalls..

and the three together..

Done..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you on the weekend..

Challenges to enter....

Tag Tuesday   ( New Beginnings )

PEEK A BOO..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's our lovely Brenda's turn to host over at LITTLE RED WAGON  this week and she is saying...Peek a boo - create something with a window in or on it..well, I tried, but failed..

I started off well with a clear snowflake cellophane bag

to make my window..

Then I made the frame and added the cellophane inside..

so far so good..

I added  my beautiful die cut Pinecones from Honey Bee Stamps..

and my wheelbarrow, which I love, and filled it with snowy pinecones..

and..DONE!

 

I think the paper behind was a bit busy and I 

sort of lost the window effect, but it's there,

 should have made a shaker, oh, that would  have been fun, next time maybe..

So come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll catch up again soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

FINALLY GOT HERE..

 Hello everyone,

I finally made it back and have no idea where those few days went, and, don't get me wrong here, my son has just gone back to another city for work and I'm relaxed now that was the longest 2 weeks EVER!!!

Sharing today another batch of gift cards and only made them because I had these papers that went on and on and on..

So to start with  I made several; little blank folders, quite simple, 4" wide

score at 2" ...5"..cut the point top..fold and done.

Planned using these papers which I swear when I use them they grow back.

See, I made a bunch and still have all these papers left.

So simple but very popular..

So I made 12 to start with..

Then made more as those papers reproduced overnight...

damn, one short, do you know how crazy this made me,

 trust me, I fixed it and made another..

So now I had a try full, better make a box..

A soap box was laying around, so it was covered..

and the folders nestled in quite comfortably..

see..

After adding snow splatters snips of branches and red berries..

and of course the LOTV sentiments stamped, punched out and matted in red..

and open..

So there you go..

Nearly at the end of my Christmas stuff..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

luv CHRISSYxx
