Hookedoncrafts 15th Challenge "Try something new!"
Well it's the start of the new year for the challenges over at Hookedoncraft and I somehow managed to find the time to create a card in between feeding, burping and changing nappies with my 6 week old twins Olivia and Liam.
This fortnights challenge at Hookedoncraft challenges is to try something new. I decided to create a card using stitching. I have been meaning to use my sewing machine with card making before but I never could be bothered cleaning up the mess to get to it! I had my machine out while I was making a twin feeding pillow for the twins and I thought why not use it.

Hookedoncrafts 13th Challenge "Winter wonderland"
What an eventful fortnight!
This blogpost is a little late as I ended up in hospital a little earlier than expected with the birth of our twins Olivia and Liam.
This fortnights challenge over at Hookedoncrafts challenges is "Winter wonderland"
Here is an advent calender I made using matchboxes which can be filled with chocolate or candy for each day of christmas.
Here is the top
I can't remember where I saw this idea however it's quite easy to copy. I used brads for the draw handles and silver stickers for the draw numbers.
I have used the snowmen stamps from the Santa and snowmen range from Hookedoncraft which can be found here. I have coloured them in with copic markers.
I have used some martha stewart snowflake punches and layered them on top of each other.
The rhinestones, silver berry stamen heads, and white holly leaves are also from Hookedoncraft

Hookedoncrafts 9th challenge "Anything but a card"
Its challenge time again over at Hookedoncraft! The challenge this fortnight at HOOKEDONCRAFT CHALLENGES is "ANYTHING BUT A CARD!"
I got a little excited and couldn't just stop at one creation so I made a few things!
Here is the group shot.
CHARM BRACELET
BAG CHARM
I used the Cute puppy small and Large stamps from HOOKEDONCRAFT I stamped the images onto frosted shrink plastic using Stazon ink and carefully coloured the images with Copic markers being careful to not touch the ink lines. I also used some of the new charms from the Misc pack which I got from HOOKEDONCRAFT
I used a range of swarovski crystal beads, ladybug beads, other beads, chain and findings from my stash to create the charm bracelet and bag charm.
HAIRCLIP
HEADBAND
I created the hairclip and headband using a range of Mulberry paper flowers and berry head stamens from HOOKEDONCRAFT
I used my glimmer mists to alter the colour of the leaves, flowers and berry head stamens to get the exact colour I wanted. I used hot glue to glue the flowers onto the metal hairclip base and headband base. I also used some swarovski pointy back crystals for the centre of the flowers which I got from my stash. I finished it off with a touch of stickles on the edges of the flowers and leaves because you can never have too much bling!
I made all these as gifts for a good friend Katrina who lives in the USA and has recently sent me a heap of parcels full of Mickey mouse and winnie the pooh baby clothes for our twin babies which are due in approx 2 months. I hope she doesn't see this post before she receives her parcel!
