Well nothing like a long weekend to spend a little time crafting. I did get three projects finished that I had started a while ago and this is my first one:<br />

An activity book that Lisa Andrews very kindly provided a tutorial for. I am still not sure about the front of the book and will probably add a sentiment as well...<br />

The inside (sorry I have used quite a bit of retired dsp but I decided I really need to get rid of that first before I buy anymore). I love this inside; two small activity books or photo albums as I did use card and then a place for a small book!! But again I am going to put a few cards inside and give it to a friend as I think it will make a sweet gift...<br />

Well I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend and ready to get back into the working week!!!<br />

The Perfect Wallet For It!Good evening,<br />
I don't know how you spent Mothers Day but I did some crafting and went on one of my favourite blogs, <a href="http://www.karteundkunst.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">Sabine's</a> blog. Love her and everything she makes. So this is what I made....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now I am already for winter. Sabine has a great tutorial on how to make them. I have now given two away as I think they are the cutest present. The only problem is that our tissues are bigger! The newspaper print is the same size as Sabine's and the other two are slightly different sizes as I had two different packs of tissues but it really isn't that hard to just add a little extra length to most of your paper.<br />

I hope everyone has had a lovely Mothers Day. I had my cup of tea in bed and that made me extremely happy. It is always the small things isn't it!! I just loved it and of course I got some little gifts from the school stall which were lovely. A friend and I made these with the class, which I absolutely love. I think she found them on pinterest but I am not sure. Of course when I got home I made some (three) for my Mum and then some for me (because I love them so much). They would even be great as Christmas presents. I am in love with these pots.....<br />

A birthday cake I made for a friend. I have found this amazing site and this woman makes the most amazing sweets. My mouth was salivating as I looked through the pages. This is no where as nice but I was impressed with myself and her icing tastes like mock cream which was very easy to spread and to keep its shape. Make sure you have a look by clicking <a href="http://sweetapolita.com/recipe-index/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
This is what I gave to Roylee<br />

A box of cards and I will try and post instructions over the next few days. I did manage to get the box out of a piece of A4 by adding a little extra to the front of the box for the lip to tuck behind the flower.<br />

Kids cards, I know. I could have made them with more colour but at the time I was going for the plain for affect but after I wasn't so sure that that was the affect I was really after.<br />

And of course some girlie cards. I love this stamp set and was so happy to use it again. I did case quite a few of these cards off pinterest and when I find the names (yes that is right, they are tucked away somewhere - just wanted to get them up for you!!!) I will let you know.<br />

Yes two in one night but I had to finish off with something other than Easter so I wanted to show you these tags I made up for a friend for her birthday. I am always looking for tags and think other people are probably doing the same thing so I made her half a dozen male and half a dozen female ones. Quick and simple using a piece of A4 and cutting them 2" wide and trimming of two ends.<br />

Well I have finally got my act into gear to do another post. My Easter tree I promised with the boxes of decorations I have made up, ready to give out next year. Unfortunately I am only showing you two of the five boxes that I made as the other three are still waiting for decorations!!!! I know, but these were very time consuming to make.<br />

The top of the tree. <br />
I know we are a way off Easter but I put so much time and effort into these I just thought I should show you. I have also been busy making presents for friends and teachers so I will be posting those as soon as I can. I try and write directions for everything I do and I do have the box instructions, just not that happy with them but if you would like them just let me know.<br />
Thanks for stopping by and I promise there will be no more Easter creations this year.<br />

I have been busy with back to school and you wouldn't believe it, but I have finally finished off my Easter boxes so I will show you those in the next couple of days. Goodness knows what I have done with the directions but I am not entirely happy with the outcome anyway!<br />
So tonight I am showing you what came inside the box and my very first box and then next time I will show you the five other boxes I have made (all ready for teacher presents for next year) and the Easter tree I decorated though the sticks weren't as good as last time!!<br />

So these are some ovals that I embossed with our folders (because they are eggs that will be dangling off the branches - just in case you couldn't tell!!!) And of course some beautiful ribbon to finish them off.<br />

This is what I did - a flower on the front one and glued them together with the ribbon in between so they would hold nicely.<br />

Still working on my project for the Easter Tree and I'm sure it is still a week away. I thought I should show you what a gorgeous someone made for me, for Easter. Thought up the idea all by himself;<br />

Isn't it just the sweetest, there was a little message under the pink oval which is all you need for Easter. I am going to make one myself but I was just amazed at how well he had cut everything out. He did use the wide oval, lge oval and small oval punches. I just love it.<br />
Inside there were lindt chocolate, ummmmmmmm.<br />

Everything is happening so fast and I luckily enough, missed April Fool's Day. This year is definitely on speed dial. Well I took my pics of my very first Easter tree and stay tuned as I thought it might be a nice gift to make for teacher presents (for next year). I normally make melting moments and put them in a box (I have made) but I think I will mix it up next year. I am going to try and make it over the holidays and do a late Easter post. But for now here is my tree...<br />

I have taken lots of angle pictures as the branches were long and hard to get it all in. I drew a picture of an egg and then cut out four pieces and folded them in half and taped them together with a little bling at the end. I used twine to tie them to the branches. <br />

I hope the start of your Easter has been a safe and happy one. Today I am going to show you some Easter daisies that I made. I did them in two different colours to brighten up our room. I'll have to show you the Easter tree I made (tomorrow), loving it!!! But on to today..<br />

Some typical white ones. I punched out some large scallops and then cut them through to the centre leaving enough gap to add the spiral centre.<br />

These ones were done a little differently, I used the largest circle punch and kept the petals further apart, not really sure if I like these ones as much!!<br />

I have to show you the prettiest Easter Banner I have seen. I love, love, love it. I think I found it on pinterest but here is the <a href="http://www.creationsbykara.com/" target="_blank">link</a> for you. Some of my photos are not so clear but I just had to try and show you them individually. This was so quick and easy to make and I used an old book for the banner and all the gorgeous colours from Stampin' Up. Give it a go and brighten up your room for Easter. I would like to make a Easter Tree and hopefully I can before the weekend. I'll have to see how I go and you will be one of the first to know.<br />

Oh by the way, she has the pattern on her blog, I made that size and than shrank it down to a smaller one as well.Theresa Rafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02757117871450418796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997755549686904558.post-61447290417279139462013-03-25T06:03:00.000-07:002013-03-25T06:03:03.246-07:00Punch Art Easter Bunnies With Egghello,<br />
I know, it has been so long and I am sorry. Life just got a little hectic for me and I know I have been saying that every time I get on here but I have truly missed coming on. I have made these bunnies before and seeing I had to make so many, 30 (for a class of students) I didn't go all out like I have done before. The funny thing is, it still took me two days (with a few interruptions along the way) to complete them. I had seen on pinterest where someone had put a magnet on the back and I liked that idea so hopefully the kids will take the egg off carefully and keep the bunny.<br />
Don't tell me any different, I want to at least think they will have them for a day!!!<br />

I am so sorry I am so slack these days, I keep thinking I will get better but my mind is on work and family and for some reason craft is coming a distant third. Don't worry it is still on the radar, I just need to move it up a notch.<br />
So how many people are on pinterest, one of my all time go to sites now when I need some inspiration, still love my blogs though. I seem to be doing more looking than doing but as we know, that can all change in an instant!!<br />
So I have been making some little Valentine gifts to give friends and thought I would share them as it is only a couple of days away now.<br />

My son and I have been buying kit kat mint bars (very nyceeeee) so I decided to get a couple to give to a few special friends. I measured the chocolate and then cut a slightly smaller piece of card to go inside with the ribbon so it can be pulled out. If you would like instructions just let me know and I will write them up for you.<br />
The roses I had made a while back and posted, thought I would put them to good use....<br />

We have had another hot day today but at least there was a lovely breeze. So today's post is a Valentine box that was made to go with this envelope card (where I can also put quite a few pictures - I have posted this one earlier). I have been going through my stash and making that something extra to go with previously made things. I followed a tutorial for this from Gretchen Barron, dated back in October 2001. <br />

The last flap I left bare and used a 3/4" circle punch to punch half a circle to lift flap easily. So now I just need to get the photos together over the next few weeks.<br />

My computer is playing up again today, I suppose it is a couple of years old now!!! I was going to show you another Valentine project I made but it is also only another couple of weeks away for school so I thought I would make my son's teachers (ex and present) a present. I have seen these on heaps of blogs, starting off with<a href="http://www.confessionsofastampingaddict.com/" target="_blank"> Lorri's</a> blog and then on Pintrest.<br />
I had a friend come and play for the day and this is one thing she wanted to make (as she had seen them on Pintrest and loved them too) so I finally got to make these and every child that has come into my house has picked them up and wanted one. I swear they will go to school with lots of dirty finger prints on them!!<br />

The bottom one is my first attempt with a milky way bar, just had to make one before my friend got here. Then she bought dairy roll ups and kisses and then we had some fun.<br />
I rolled the chocolate on a ruler to see how wide I needed to make it (just in case yours is a different size). These worked out :-<br />
yellow card - 5 1/4" x 3 1/8" or 12 1/2cm x 8 cm, put some score marks on it as that makes them look cool<br />
pink card - 1 1/2cm x 8 cm and sorry I forgot to work out how many inches that was but the 3 1/8" is equal to 8 cm. Don't score this one as that is the rubber. I then used a 3/4" punch for the bottom. I used the glue gun to hold this all together. Then of course the Hershey kiss on the tip and I made some little tags and a glitter love heart on them.<br />

I am going to show you the most gorgeous heart today. Brenda (<a href="http://qbeesquest.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Qbees Quest</a>) came up with these. I really wanted to make the Christmas tree she designed as well and I did make it, just couldn't find any chocolates to fit in there. Well I could make the hearts because we now have Hershey kisses here in Australia, in Woolies. I love our chocolate heaps more but unless you're going to sit there and make heaps of drops the easier option is to buy a packet of kisses. So here is my cute heart, did make half a dozen, just forgot to take a picture of them all....<br />

Well we just lost another chicken tonight, those wild dogs/dingoes are so quick you don't even know they are there. I can't help but feel very sad and deflated!!<br />
On to another topic, I have these very cute birds to show you that I found on this <a href="http://thecraftpatch.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">blog</a> and all it requires you to do, is to cut out the bird yourself and then make the legs. They are awesome, actually I found her on pintrest, I am on there quite a lot now, so many good ideas.<br />

And another picture for luck.<br />
So I just made my own template for the bird and used the blossom petal builder for the wings and a little scrap for his beak and black writing pen for his eyes. The hardest part is getting the legs to work.<br />

I am beside myself trying to make flowers and I am not very good with origami so to make one flower can take me all day, I did make two today though which I will show you tomorrow. For today's post I have these origami flowers to show you and once you have done a couple, these ones are easy and especially if you use the hot glue gun (just do a few testers, if you are not use to it but I tell you it is so much quicker and easier). There are lots of tutorials on the net and I did make one of these about three years ago but at that stage thought they were too labour intensive!! But my new favourite <a href="http://tipnut.com/paper-flowers/" target="_blank">blog</a> made me want to make them again.<br />

So this is my vase of flowers, I thought I should make up a whole heap and when a birthday comes up, I can just grab out half a dozen and wrap them in tissue paper. That happened to me a lot last year where I forgot birthdays and had to quickly put something together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, I started off with a piece of 3" x 3" and folded it diagonally. You will need 5 pieces of 3 x 3<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then fold the two ends into the middle<br />

Fold over the outsides into a triangle, as above, and (I missed a step here!!) glue the two sides evenly together. This makes one petal. Sorry for some reason I forgot to take pictures of this stage. I have seen the flowers standing with floral wire (and I did buy some yesterday) but again, I used skewers<br />

I am so sorry I haven't posted much, it has just been hard to sit down and craft and then when I do I can't find the time to post but I will assure you I have been on a mission and even made a couple of Valentine things to show you (later of course) as I have these beautiful flowers that I absolutely love and can't get enough of. Most of you have probably made little ones that you have put on cards or scrap booking pages but I saw these (big) and fell in love. And I have fallen in love with this site Tipnut but if you are interested in making these rolled flowers you will find them <a href="http://jonesdesigncompany.com/flowers/rolled-paper-flowers-tutorial/" target="_blank">here</a>. Now to show you my floral arrangement!!<br />

And I need to work on mine more to get them looking as beautiful as the ones I have seen. They use floral wire but I used one piece and my flower kept falling over so I used skewers instead, I just need to finish off the backs a little better. I also used the glue gun and will be using that a lot more in the future as it is SO much easier to use than tape etc.<br />
I did try and post last night but my computer wasn't letting me download my photo's so a friend suggested I go on Firefox and WOLLA, (don't know if that is how you spell it but I'm sure you know what I mean, hehehe.<br />
Oh this is a great way to use up all those pieces of pattern paper lying around. <br />
Thanks for stopping by...<br />

My favourite angels, yes, a lot of those went out this year, my favourite thing for the year actually. I made a box for them to go in and some chocolates at the end (always need some chocolate!)<br />

Sorry, I should have started with this one first, but this is the front cover of the box, looked a little better in person, the colours don't look as good together in this photo!<br />

Yes I know, I am officially the worst. I keep saying I will get on here and post every day and I don't, truly I don't know where the time goes. But I did try and post last night but my camera needed charging so I am sorry but I had to do that today and so here I am.<br />
So I told you I would show you what I received from Angie and what I sent her and here it is....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now this is what I sent Ange, I know, it pails in comparison but you have to remember it is the thought that counts, lol. I tried to trick her by putting it in a shortbread tree box and guess what? She got me. I talked to Ange a couple of days after she opened my present and she kept saying she was going to make the tree; and me having a very big blonde moment (No I am not blonde, but should be!!!) didn't get what she was referring to. I was sitting there on the phone racking my brain trying to think of what I had given her. I know I had given her angels so I just asked her about them and Ange does not know this; But Christmas day the penny dropped!!!!!!!!!!! I know, how bad is that!!!!!!!!!<br />

I made a box and put four angels inside and thought I would decorate with a couple of tags (don't ask me why, just thought it would be a good idea) and used dotto (which of course I didn't tell Ange and should have) so she could peel them off and re-use them.<br />

One Angel and I cased this off a girl from Stampin' Connections (previously mentioned) but I am still unable to find her name - it will happen. This time I actually put her collar on (seeing it was for Ange) which did dress the angels up<br />

And last but not least a little box with some malteezers in there. I will give you directions on all these. This box is my next favourite thing and I will be making these for Valentine's day, so sweet.<br />
Well, thank you for popping by and tomorrow I will show you what we gave the teachers.....Theresa Rafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02757117871450418796noreply@blogger.com1
