Little forest friends

Hi all,

Today I have a few things to share with you.
First up, today it's team B's turn again over at TPV.

Today the challenge is...

Create a project that includes a forest friend

You have already seen a sneak peek, but here is my full project :)

I made this card for a friend, who's birthday it was this past weekend. My friend loves animals, especially little cute pictures of them, so this suited her perfectly, and I had to use this cute little hedgehog. 

The image stamps are from Little Clare, which I have stamped and then coloured using Mum's coloursoft pencils. I have then cut the images into 4cm squares, and cut three squares of the same size from some of the  lovely October afternoon Modern Homemaker papers. I created 2 coordinating flowers using a small punch, outlined with a pen to match the design of the images, then have sewn around the edge of the patterned squares using a sewing machine. The sentiment used is one of the gorgeous Paper Smooches sentiments, and then I finished the card with a wrap of twine.

This week we have a great prize for you from Scrap-friendzy kit club, 

Look at that yummy kit, and all of that can be yours :)

So, head over here to the TPV blog to see the rest of the DT's cute little critters and also link up your own entry. I'll see you there :)

I hope you like my card. My friend liked it, but she loved her gift even more. I created these for her

(Taken using our 50mm lens at f/1.7 - I decided to play with it and take this after being inspired to use it more by the brilliant Shimelle's camera school posts)

She loves sushi, and these earrings really appealed to her. I have created them out of Fimo, following instructions from a superb little book I bought a while ago. I was so pleased that she liked them, there is something really  special about being able to give gifts to your friends that have been handmade, especially when they love them.

So, I am now back into the swing of sixth form, with a lot of work and deadlines to keep to. I have my TSA entry assessment rapidly drawing closer for my Oxford uni application, so am busy at the moment juggling subject work with practising the many different required skills for the entry exam. I am also continuing with my driving lessons, I've managed roundabouts, dual carriageway, slip roads and a bit of manoeuvring now. :) I'm afraid this means crafting is taking a bit of a back seat, I will still be doing it when I can, but it may be a bit less frequent. 

So, from me, bye for now, thanks for popping by.

P.S. I was very thrilled to be a featured project at The Colour Room last week with this LO. Very chuffed. Also, congrats to Katherine who had her great work featured again for the second week in a row :)
