Ribbon Roses!

I came across this tutorial on you tube that showed how to make the cutest ribbon roses!

So bear in mind that these were my first attempt. I have to be quite big headed & say that they do actually look quite well!!!

This one is a little messy looking!

Then it gets a little neater...

& then neater again!!!

I burnt my poor fingers in the making of these but

I think these look yummy & I am always willing to suffer in the name of crafting!! In this instance it was burnt finger tips all round lol but I survived !!

Very good for a first attempt if I do say so myself ;)

Jackie Mooney's March 2011 Workshop.

I had a wonderful day on Sunday the 27th of March at Jackie's workshop!

I knew I would have though as next month I will be attending Jackie's workshops for the past 2 years & I have never miss a workshop once since I have started going! I work my social life around Jackie's workshops because

1 - I know I would miss something really great if I couldn't go &

2 - It is my day!!

As in for 1 Sunday every month I know I am going to get to create, chat & relax & there is no way I would miss it!!

Here are the cards & Easter basket we made on Sunday

This one was my fave cos we used my fave colour & I just loved the distressed look of this card!

I love this ribbon pin & we first done this at the Newtown Mount Kennedy crafty day!

This was one of my daughters fave's, she loves ladybugs!

This was her other fave! She just loved the little bees googly eyes.

Of course with all the chatting going on I made a mistake but was able to salvage it lol!

This was a lovely quick card & it would also be ideal for an engagement or even a sympathy card (with a different image of course) but this is an idea that will I will use again!

I love the poem in this card but the best part of this card was the flower

which was handmade! I love learning new things & that is guaranteed if you are going to attend a Jackie Mooney workshop!!

Last but not least is the fab little Easter basket we made!

It's the little details like how the fence was embossed so it looked like wood that make you realise just how thorough Jackie really is when it comes to the creations she comes up with each & every month!

Visit Jackie's workshop blog cos I'm not great with a camera so don't do the projects we make any justice.

Whiff Of Joy mouse card.

Ok I just love this little mouse stamp & find myself using it a lot lately.

I used glitter paper on it, I got a few packs from Cara Crafts when the shop was at one of Jackie's workshops but recently found them in Inspiring Ideas in Blanchardstown shopping centre, I should mention I am not allowed to go into that shop unless I have a chaperone with me to curb my spending lol!

I think the glitter paper is super sparkly & is ideal for a little girls card!

Of course the writing was done using my craft robo & although you can't see it in the photo the pink writing is really glittery!

The bow was made using my bow maker, I haven't tied a normal bow since getting this lol!!
