Empty tape roll to Ribbon Storage You all know the tape I'm talking about.  Look.....this one.....done there in the photo.  I love the super sticky red tape (If that's its name....it is in my house!) and it really pained me to throw away the plastic ring it was stored on.  So I have been storing them up in a drawer.  And here is what I decided to use them for........ MY RIBBONS AND FIBRES.......YEAH!!!! See?  I'm so chuffed with this. Makes me feel good that Im doing my bit for up-cycling and my ribbons and fibres aren't stuck in a bag all scrunched up and they look scrummy........theyr'e certainly better looking than that ugly door of mine, heehee! If you don't have an over door hook "thingy" just stick a few tacks, nails or even some of the wee foam backs hooks onto your door and hang them from that. That's it for tonight folks.  I have a few things to add to my candy which I will show you soon. Toodles Noodles,....Lee aka...

New bling flower centres Ive made....and more fabric flowers Ohhh look at the pretty flower centres I've made I really hope you are not sick of seeing my flowers.......but its what I enjoy making and do best.  I've made these flowers....some you will recognise like the large Whipped creams and large floating meringues and some you may not have seen.  But they all have new flower centres that I've come up with.  Aren't they just so blingy and scrumptious?  I love them.  And they are so easy to make. I bought some bling mesh which you'll have already seen from my previous post.  Remember?  I bought it from Fiona Jennings. I just love her store.  I was on the other night and bought her out of dolly pegs and a few other bits and pieces, heehee.  I was on earlier and she has some amazing flowers on for sale....they put mine to shame!! Anyway, I cut a little strip off the mesh.  Took one of my large 15mm flat back pearls a...

Flower Tutorial - Paper Daisy Hi Folks.  Im back with another flower tutorial for you all.  "About time" I hear you say (or maybe not!!).  You will see from the photos above its a Daisy.  I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die but you can cut your own thin petalled shaped flowers or use a different type of die or punch with similar petals.  Lets get to it. Firstly and like always........ I'd like to apologise for the state of my hands and nails, but crafting is a messy business and I do get messy. And when you have long nails, well, they are my tweezers half the time so they are gonna get mucky too, Lol.  Its half the fun, hee hee.  Heres what you need. 1. Die cut 3 small and 3 of the 2nd biggest flower You will need Tim Holtz Tattered florals die or cut your own similar to photo 1 above,  card stock,  glue,  embossing tool or pen end,  yellow ink pad or marker, A piece of foam or the back of a mo...

Look at the goodies I got from Jennings644 Have a look at Fiona's channel Hi folks.  Firstly just want to say thank you to everyone who has entered my Blog Candy.  If you havent entered yet, please see my blog candy post. Next I would like to show you all the goodies I bought from a friend Fiona Jennings.  I do not work for Fiona nor do I get any financial gain or items from mentioning her shop or channel.  I was lucky to come across her youtube channel and she is genuinely one of the most incredible and generous women Ive had the pleasure of dealing with.  And I think myself lucky enough to be able to call her a friend.  You may recall the journals I made from previous uploads on my blog here.  I made those journals for Fiona as gifts for her friends and the last journal was as a gift for her daughter Sadie as a birthday gift. She has an incredible youtube channel you can find here or do a search of youtube for Jennings644 .  She ha...
