Paper craft Thursday- Toppers

Paper Craft Thursday

Stop by http://www.kellishouse.blogspot.com/ and see what other craft goodies are about.

I always like to have a few things ready incase I had a last minute card to make and below are some card toppers I have made ready to adorn a card.

I spend alot of time in bed due to my MS , so I craft alot in bed and here are a few I made .

I had a bit of fun with the weird looking green reptile things. Think I could make quite a fun card with those.

There are a couple of oriental themed toppers , sports bag and basket , ladies in smart headware and an elf like creature. There is a lovely one saying get well soon.

The are all decoupage (layering effect)

Male type cards

I do struggle doing male type cards , but here are a few I have done and am quite pleased with.

Not all men like boats, trains and cars though!

Pyramid cards.- paper craft Thursday

PAPER CRAFT THURSDAY.

stop by http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/search/label/Card%20Making for explanation and other peoples creations.


I wanted to share a new technique I have been trying to make cards for all occassions.





Its simple and I quite like the effect it gives. It is called pyramid cards buliding.


You start with a sheet of prints here is one to give you an example. The pictures vary in size so that you can build ontop of one another.To get depth use sticky foam pads so it leaves a small gap between each picture.


























































Below shows you some I have made ready to be mounted on a card.


























































































































































Hopefully this picture shows you the pyramid effect.



Thanks for looking.

Wednesday Weigh in- 22/10/08

A silly fun quiz

What does your nose say about you?


mine says.


What Your Nose Says About You

It's likely that you'll be lucky with money,
though this luck may come later in life.
You are impulsive and tend to follow your heart.
You are helpful and giving.
You like cooperating, and you're always willing to lend a hand.
You are a nosey person and a bit of a snoop. You can't help but be curious!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

A prayer answered

This idea is run by http://adustyframe.com/2008/10/17/1494/#comment-58571 and what a wonderful idea.

My little snippet seems very minor but I wanted to share.

I havent been feeling too well at late and my headaches (mainly my optic nerve) have increased in severity, and when they come they stop you in your tracks and going to bed tends to be the only option.

Last week I had one of these headaches and I just had to go to bed, the pain was so bad I couldn't even cry.

I led in bed and prayed to the Lord , within in half an hour I was up out of bed and going about

my normal chores (feeling a little battered but without pain!)

I couldn't stop thanking the Lord, what a wonderful loving and listening Lord we have.

Show and tell Friday

Welcome to show and tell Friday. This idea is hosted by Kelli at http://www.kellishouse.blogspot.com/.

Here is my show and tell.

This is my wedding bouquet .

I will be married 6 years on October 26th.

The flowers (cream roses) are made from a silk like material with rain drop effect on petals , all the button holes and table decorations were made from same fabric. Its nice to be able to keep the bouquet and it sits ontop of a high unit in the lounge.

Paper Craft thursday

These cards are 3d. Its made by layering the same picture on top of one another with various bits missing each time.
I think they give a reallly good effect.
Go here to see other peoples paper craft Thursday items.

I got slimmer of the week again!

Wednesday weigh in again and I lost another 4 1/2 lbs and I am over the moon. I have lost 1 stone 1/2lb now. I won slimmer of the week and you get a basket full of goodies (fruit etc). Everyone that comes to class brings a piece of fruit or pasta etc and pops it into a basket and the slimmer of the week wins it.

I have a lot of weight to lose but I am going in the right direction at the moment.

Update on my MS

I havent mentioned for awhile how I am reguarding MS and if I havent blogged about it it tends to be good news and I am doing fine.
Things have changed a little past few weeks. I am experiencing a constant headache with stabbing pains behind my right eye and sight isn't brilliant but copable. The stabbing pains can ground me and I normally just have to go to bed in a darkened room until it dulls. A great answer to prayer happened last Thurday , i was in bed with a really bad headache and I just led their and prayed about it and asked for it to go away , within half an hour I was back on my feet feeling quite well in myself. What a great and loving God we have.
Fatigue is a constant battle but past few days I am exhausted .On a plus note my fitness levels are improving as I make myself walk the dog as often as I can and I am walking quite fast paced for me.
Loosing weight will only help improve things mobilty wise and health wise.

My show and tell is a book I was given just before I found The Lord , or The Lord found me.

Weigh in wednesday.

Our weekly weigh in came - I lost 1 1/2lbs, hubby lost 2 lbs and last week which I forgot to blog about was I lost 2 lbs and hubby lost 2 lbs.

So far I have lost 6 lbs
Hubby lost 9 1/2 lbs (got his 1/2 stone award last week.)

So slow loss for me but at least a loss.

Our bedroom is an office a craft room and of course a bedroom.

Above is my husband's office , it only shows half the books as most are further along the wall or in the lounge

Just to give you a little idea on space we have in our home , we have two bedrooms, a wet room, a lounge/diner, a kitchen and of course a garden.


My husband and I have his office, my craft area and of couse the normal bedroom stuff like a bed, wardrobes etc all in our bedroom.


My work area is my side of the bed and his is the other side.

This is a part of my craft area of which I have had a huge tidy-up and have thrown away useless things.

I have gone through every drawer and labelled them accordingly.

Further down my side of bedroom I have a sewing table with machine. That's it - no more room lol.
