Little book of inspiration!

I made this little book for a little girl I don't see very often,

maybe just 3 times a year but she absolutely

loves to drop by and do some crafting with me.

So I thought this little book would be nice for her.

She is ten years old.

It is full of little quotes, butterflies and tags

with space to write little notes, some paper clips,

sticky notes and some cute page markers.

All tied up with some ribbon.

You can watch a quick run through here

Items used

Stamps: butterfly gala, yay you (SU)

Our new challenge theme at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she has gone with

NEW BEGINNINGS!

This year I have started doing some needle felting.

It is very addictive and so far I have made a little mouse

and a rabbit.

So I decided to needle felt a little heart for my tag

to represent my new beginnings in my crafty world!

I embossed the background with a heart folder

and punched with my tag punch.

I needle felted a heart in yellow

and then added my sentiments in yellow ink.

The tag was finished with some gold ribbon.

Stamp set used was Alphabest (SU).

For my card I have used a PB stamp called Soft spoken.

I stamped the flower and coloured it up using markers in shades

of purple and green.

I stamped the sentiment in black from a stamp set called

Latte Love (SU).

I then used a stencil called Four Square (SU) and added

some colour around the area of the flower.

I matted it onto some purple card and finished it

off with a bakers twine bow.

It's also time for a new challenge over at

WE LOVE STAMPING

and the theme this month is anything but square!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so be sure and join us!

For my card I decided to make a circle easel card.

As it's my eldest son's birthday this month

I kept him in mind when making it.

I had treated myself to stamps, stencils and masks from

Sheena Douglas and for this card I used

Howling at the Moon.

I absolutely love these sets and know it will be well used.

I went with shades of green and blue and created

a scene inside the stencil using the matching stamps.

The circle dies are from a Tattered Lace set.

Other stamp set used are

Country Birdhouse, Artistically Inked and Alphabest (SU).

I hope you get time to join us this month.
