Hubby's Birthday card

Hi everyone i hope you are all well and happy , things are finally settling down for me now and it apears as though my crafting mojo is finaly finished on its hollibobs and is starting to join me again !

Today i have to share with you the card ive made for my hubby's birthday im glad to say he loved it and i hope you will too .

 

And here it is

 

 

Hes a huge fan of the Beatles so i used an old single from 1967 ( it was scratched and unplayable lol ) me being me doesnt throw anything away and thought one day i will find a use for it and i have !

I covered an 8x8 card blank in card from my stash with pianos on ( i think its Kanban ) and stuck it to to the card blank with Pritt Stick and atatched the record with double sided tape

I then layered up the Juke box although its hard to see on the pic . Made the rosette from paper that had music on it and cut a circle out of black card and atatched ribbons

to finish i coloured in a couple of guitars and stuck them on with doublke sided tape and the same with the musical notes .

 

He was so pleased with it bless him !

Getting ready for Christmas

Hi everyone hope that you are all well and happy !

As its now only a few short weeks until Christmas i thought that i would share with you a wreath that i have created using material on a polystyrene base .

I cut out 1" square pieces of the material and gently poked each one into the base using a small embossing tool and added polystyrene glue here and there on the base before poking in the material squares .

 

And here it is !

 

 

I have been making these for a year or so now and as its nearing Christmas ( YAY ) and with some encouragement from hubby ive added this one to my blog to show you all and would apreciate your views on it !

I have just finished a gorgeous red and gold one and will add a picture of it tomorrow  . the wonderful thing about making these wreaths is that they can be done in any colour using any materials and for any time of year .

as always i apreciate all your support and comments .

Thanks for stopping by
