With Love

Hi there hope you are well.

It's getting to that time of the year

when Love is in the air.

and it's no different over at

Papertake weekly.

This week we have an

Anything goes week

with the optional extra of using a heart

or do a love theme.

we are sponsored by the girls 

over at Lili of the Valley

I have gone 

super size with this card 

it's my first 8x8 card

and gosh it was hard to fill up.

I decided to go large because the image

was way to big for my usual 6x6.

I had to find extra bit's then to fill the space.

The image is SWALK stamp from 

Crafters companions, and coloured with promarkers.

The sentiments are from an old 

stamp set i have from Elusive images.

The flourishes are from a Tim Holtz die.

Papers are from Joanna Sheens romance CD ROM.

The heart button i made out of a heart 

cut out of cardboard and coloured with

distress inks. Punched holes and then

triple embossed with clear embossing powder.

I made a few of these in one go in all sorts of colours.

I think i will give it to my other half for

valentines day.

please check out Papertake and see all the fabulous 

work the other DT's have made.

I have had a pause at the moment with

the granny squares

when you have to make 400 +

they can get a bit samey.

So i'm having a bit of a break.

Looking through the latest copy of 

simply knitting i came across a 

fab pattern for a tea cosy and

in my favourite colours to,

so i just had to make it.

Here's a sneaky peak of were i'm up to.

This was yesterday afternoon the 

sun came out so i sat in the 

conservatory it was bliss.

I'll be back when it's finished to show you 

until then

Take care
