Maze Book

I made a couple of these little Maze books

recently to pop some photos of my 

Grandkids in.

You get one book from a 12" x12" sheet of paper.

Super quick and easy to make

and great for eating into your stash!

You can watch my video tutorial here

I finished them off with a matching box

to store them and make into a

perfect little keepsake.

I used papers from an old pack from

Basic Grey called Sultry.

I teamed it up with brown card

and braiding for the closure.

The stamp set is called

Part of my Story (SU).

Measurements needed to make one

12" x 12" paper score at 3", 6", 9".

Turn right and repeat same score lines. Board for covers - 3" x 3" Dsp for cover - 4" x 4" 20" piece of ribbon and two smaller pieces at 2 1/2" (optional)

Howl at the moon!

Happy Friday!

I have been away for a few days in Wicklow

with hubby and it was so great to have

a little break as we haven't been away from

last September!

Weather was amazing, nearly too hot, dare I say lol.

My card today was made for my Son's 40th last week.

I used a stencil/mask set from Sheena Crafts

called Howling at the moon.

The stamp sets that go along with it are called

Be one with nature and Just Breathe.

I also used a few SU sets called

Sip Sip Hooray, Happiness Abounds

and Part of my story.

The papers are from Nitwits called Pocake Masculine.

I used various inks and markers to complete the card.

Inside I made an envelope to hold his birthday money.

Ballerina in a box!

Today's needle felted project is a little Ballerina Box.

All little ballerina's need a place to relax and unwind, don't they lol??

I decorated the front using some old papers from my stash

which were ballerina themed. I added the letter A as this will be for

my Granddaughter Aimee in a few years time lol.

And here she is. I haven't named her yet but

I will keep her safe until my Granddaughter is old enough to have her.

Needle felted toys are really not toys but more keepsakes.

As you can see I made a little mattress from pink felt

and sewed a little gingham pillow with added stuffing

to keep her comfortable.

But as it is winter I thought she needed a little blanket too

to keep her warm so I crocheted up one in colourful wool.

I had the tin in my stash for a long time and she just fitted it perfectly.

It has been decorated up using some very old papers from my stash

and I stamped a little sentiment on the inside using a stamp

from a set called Part of my Story (SU).

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
