Guess who's back? Back again!

Hello Blogland!

I have missed you all...I can't believe its been 6 months, where has the time gone?

Lana is growing into a cheeky little monkey...at the moment we are tackling teeth, weaning and crawling. Its all going on in the Bartlett household.

Anyway...I've been saving up some crafty projects to share with you.  Now, there aren't many but a few non the less.  I'm currently working on my new website and shop which is all very exciting but it all takes time...hopefully in the next couple of weeks i'll have something to show you.

So lets go all the way back to May, Adam and I celebrated 6 years together...boy how times have changed.  I dug out some lovely Papertrey Ink products and created this CAS card for him.




Ever since having Lana I seem to be a huge fan of simple designs, maybe thats because I don't get the time!

For this card I used a plain kraft background and then die cut two hearts using Papertrey Inks Limitless layers hearts.  I found this amazing glittery card stock in Hobbycraft in one of their bargain bins - I've used it a lot.  Yes your hands get covered in glitter but it is so worth it! To finish it off I used bountiful banners stamp set and die. I LOVE THIS SET! It is so versatile I can't wait to use it some more.  I used foam pads on the banner just to add a bit of dimension.

Ahhh it feels so good to be sharing again! I've really missed blogging and all the lovely comments! Hoping to join in a few challenges too in the next few months! YAY!

Belated Valentines...

Ok so I'm a couple of days late but as far as I'm concerned its the weekend of love too!

So I'm a bit of a sucker for sending my friends little gifts in the post...handmade of course! I've been a bit off my game recently and missed the opportunity of doing anything for Christmas so I was extra determined to do Valentines day!

I filled jam jars with cherry lips and heart throbs- and decorated the jars with the lovely Waterfall Hearts from Pink Petticoat, die cut some extra sparkly hearts from some bargain paper I found at hobby craft and finished it with my favourite button twine!



Obviously you can't send a gift without a card!! I wanted a simple design that I could reproduce quickly! I die cut some more sparkly hearts- god I love how sparkly it is! And some smaller hearts from some pink scraps and stamped my sentiment on to a white base which I added too red and hot pink card base- voila!



All packaged and sent...it's always nice to send some love to your favourites!!
