Hi there,
I have a different kind of project to share with you today. One of my friends recently had a baby and I wanted to make her and her little man Felix, a little something special to go in the nursery. Mama Elephant’s ‘Up and Away’ set came to the rescue again. I cannot get enough of this cute set!

I sponged the clouds by making my own template and using several distress ink colours. The name is made from a really old set of rub-ons that I have had in my stash for at least 10 years. The whole scene was placed in a shadow box that I bought from Ikea (gotta love that shop). I decided to include Mr Squeaky Mouse in the photo, much to the delight of my daughter 🙂

I had so much fun making this, that I think I just may have to make some more!

Hi there. I have a fun project up on the Jane’s Doodles blog today – cup cake toppers.  I used the adorable Garden Friends stamp set. I had a lot of fun making these little guys (and I will also say, the whole family had a lot of fun eating them too. Just for the record they were red velvet cupcakes :).

I needed a gift for a friend who recently had a baby boy. I decided to make a personalised picture to hang in his room. I had fun making this project and I love how it turned out.

Hello and welcome to another Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week the Belles are showcasing Easter sets – as Easter is fast approaching! Check out the Easter deal that Andrea has for this weekend only.

Today I have made some chocolate wrappers for my kids for Easter. Let me just say I originally intended to make 4…but the 4th chocolate went missing 😉

Here is a close up of each one.

The blue Easter Joy one is my favourite. Those Easter chicks are just too cute! And what is on the inside?

I am entering these into the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge.

Be sure to drop by the rest of the Belles to check out their projects. Their links are on my sidebar. And also stop by Gayatri’s blog as she is stepping down from the AnnaBelle DT. It has been a pleasure working alongside her. I wish you all the best Gayatri.

Hello and welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we have a colour challenge for you.

I must admit that I was a little thrown by the colours – until I got out my AnnaBelle Stamps stain ribbons. That’s when a crafty project popped into my head – making  some ribbon ruffle flowers.

The flowers were super easy to make. Using a needle and thread, I did a simple running stitch along one side of a piece of ribbon about 15 -20cms long. Once done, I pulled the threads from both ends and the ribbon ruffled into a flower. To finish I tied the ends off. Once I had my three flowers, I used a plain hair clip and hot glued the ribbon flowers on it and added some matching AnnaBelle sprinkles. Simple, simple. (A tip: to make sure that the ends of the ribbon didn’t fray, I used a flame from a match to melt the ribbon ends).

This week’s winner will receive a $15 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.

Ok, so you can probably tell that I am on holidays due to the number of posts! I am crafting to my heart’s content and loving it!

CAS-ual Friday’s are having a Thank you Challenge and I wanted to play along.

No stamping on this one. Just some washi tape, a daisy die and a thank you rub-on!

Thanks for dropping by,
