Using up my scraps

Today I am going to show you this card which I made using leftovers from The Muse by Ciao Bella.

I used the main kit to make a Memory Book for our 30th Wedding Anniversary in September. I had a few bits left over so thought I would see what I could make from them.

I used a craft card blank which I made by simply folding a piece of card in half. You can make the card any size you like depending on how much paper you have to decorate it with.

I cut two pieces of decorative paper the same size, a pretty topper and a sentiment.

I added the pieces of decorative paper so they slightly overlapped in the middle. I then placed the topper to cover the join in the middle. I put the topper onto foam pads to give the card a bit of dimension.

Then I added the sentiment which I have also put onto foam pads. I didnt put foam pads on the end that overlapped the topper. This is do the sentiment will sit evenly on the card.

Finally I added some faux pearls. As the whole card has quite a natural look I chose natural pearls, but you could pick a colour from your topper and add pearls in that colour.

Until Next Time

Happy Crafting.

Celticmoon Crafts

I started Celticmoon Crafts quite a few years ago now. As a passionate crafter I wanted to share my ideas with others, so I started to design my own craft sheets. This is one of my favorite design sheets. I love anything Oriental. I produced 20 card making CDroms, covering a range of subjects. This was one of my first CDroms. I love digital crafting. Its much more economical than buying ready printed sheets. If you run put just print another sheets. Of course I have been known to run put of ink before which isn't always good. I made this card using one of my own designs. Anubis is my favorite Egyptian God. He gets a lot of undeserved bad publicity in my opinion. I've done a lot of craft fairs in the past. Sometimes they are very very good and sometimes very very bad. I have been to craft fairs where I have sold loads, and I have been to ...

Ebay Finds

Like many other crafters i like a bargain. I don't always have a huge amount of money to buy supplies so it id always good when I can find a bargain. I am a huge fan of digital crafting as I find it much more economical than buying ready printed products. I have a huge collection of craft cdroms and usbs. I have started checking out ebay for digital bargains and have found quite a few recently. I got this for £5 and it was worth every penny. The papers on it are beautiful. I am presently making a V8ntage Christmas Memory Book using this cdrom. I am a great fan of Joanna Sheen. This triple cdrom was also £5. I have lots of plans for this one. I am a great fan of anything Oriental. Joanna Sheen again. It suddenly struck me that I dont have anything with a baby theme. What would I do if someone asked me for a baby card, or a baby book. So of course I took to ebay again. Now if someone asks me gor something for a new arrival I am ready. Crafters Companion brought out this cdrom a few ...

Health Scare

I have been notably absent over the past couple of weeks. The reason is I have had a health Scare. I returned from the MPC Gala in Edinburgh at the begining of May and developed a niggly pain in my right foot. I thought I had overdone it a bit at the Gala so didn't take much notice. However the pain got worse and eventually I had to go and see my Doctor. She thought I may have a stress fracture and sent me for an X Ray to check. My X Ray showed a lesion on my toe joint that could not be identified. I was immediately referred to an Orthopaedic Oncologist. Then followed the worst two weeks of my life. As a nurse all of the worst case scenario's went through my head. Sometimes a little bit of k owledge is a bad thing. If I slept for 3 hours a night I was lucky. It was just hell. On Friday I finally went for my appointment. I am hugely relieved to say the specialist is certain the lesion is benign. I have to go for an MRI scan but he has no concerns. I do have a fracture which is ...
