Happy Easter!

Here are some pictures of recent projects created for Easter:

 

 

 

 

 

These were created with the use of a cricut cut file that I received from the talented Jen c, thank you once again. I then altered the file slightly to make it bigger so I could use it on my circuit expression and get the most out of an A4 piece of paper. I then embossed the boxes with my sizzix texture plate. I then cut out scallop circles and ovals with my hand punches and stamped on to them using the lovely daisy and dandelion stamp set called candyfloss and marshmallow. After taking these pictures I ended up making quite a few more and have lost count of how many.

So it worked! lol

Really pleased so just wanted to share some things with you. even though I haven’t been blogging I’ve still be crafting loads I really having a good time generally. I am still working in the same craft shop and I've nearly been there a year gosh it just flow by. I really love it there especially do craft class.

Sorry that I haven't been on recently and have been neglecting my blog. The reason for this is that I have got a weekend job in a Local Craft Shop and have just started an Open University Course this along with studying for A-Levels has meant I haven't had much free time. But I will be posting some new files soon so watch this space. :)
