Happy Saturday 

Hello .... today I would like to show you a 'sort of' snow globe I have made ... I have taken part in a snow globe swap and my partner is Debbie Hemsworth  (she is on youtube under this name too ... go check out her stuff .... WOW WOW WOW .. she is awesome) 

Any way here is mine for the swap ... I have put a small battery operated fiber optic tree at the back to light it all up & used a black handmade paper containing silver speckles in it to line the back wall. They really sparkle when the tree is lit  .... I needed to keep it enclosed so the tree would show to the best of its ability ... hope you like it.

Thanks as always for taking the time to stop by my blog

Hello Everyone 

Here is a jewellery box I have decorated, I started with one of the paper mache boxes you can buy from craft stores and painted using black acrylic Then I used indigoblu glu and gold leaf to decorate the box and varnished it using Inka-Lack varnish.  
I have 2 of these for sale if you are interested please go to my facebook account.  You will find me under Ivory Moon Designs.

Thank you for stopping by

For Glyn

A lovely friend of mine Glyn, saw the altered envelope I made a few days ago and messaged me to say how much she loved it .... Glyn is such a lovely lady and I wanted to send her something that would bring a smile to her day.  So I decided to design some note cards and matching envelopes 

I got such a lovely message from Glyn today and thankfully she liked them and they did brighten her day ..

Thank you for dropping by

Happy Saturday Morning people ...

I started my morning by watching a christmas movie ... they always put me in a happy mood ... 

This is something I have been working on for a few days ... wish I had bought Gold gauze instead of the red ... I thought the red was much deeper in colour, but oh well may be next year I will get the gold and make another one ...

I would love it if you would leave a comment for me ... good or bad : )

Hello everyone ... 
I hope you are all well and have been busy crafting ( .... I seem to have done more on the computer than crafting lately )  

I have taken part in a Facebook craft swap group with a bunch of wonderful ladies ... it's the UK & Ireland Craft swap  group ... they come up with some great challenges and everyone is so lovely and welcoming so why not drop by and have a go ....

My latest swap was for "Mail Art"  where you basically decorate an envelope in any way you want ... it doesn't have to be one that is for posting, as many of us hand deliver our cards so you and decorate till your heart is content ... 

Here is my first effort ....  

Its been fun doing something new .... 

My next challenge is a 'water free' snow globe ..... so far my biggest challenge is actually finding a jar to use .... Watch this space I will keep you updated .

Happy crafting friends xxx
and as always thanks for stopping by
