Sick, Sick, Sick... The Perfect Wallet For It!

Good evening,
I don't know how you spent Mothers Day but I did some crafting and went on one of my favourite blogs, Sabine's blog.  Love her and everything she makes.  So this is what I made....

 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.

 The decoration inside, holding tissues, lollies and a tea bag

 closer look at the sentiment

 Now you can see what is inside

 On to newspaper print

And the look at the back.  So easy to make you will want to make heaps.
Thanks for stopping by.......

Sick As A Dog

Hello,
We are still on school holidays which ends this week and it has been lovely.  Before Easter one of my brothers was outside doing some work at Mum and Dad's and tried to chop one of his fingers off.  He was actually hammering in some stacks and got distracted and lucky for him (even though he had a very squashed finger) the doctors managed to stitch the top of his finger back on.  My lovely son and I felt so sorry for him, we are very lucky in our family and don't end up with many injuries, that we decided to make him a little gift and a card.  So I jumped on the net (as you do) looking for something appropriate.  I found this very cute dog that I cased from Rhea Anderson.  So I made a card and a pouch to put chocolate in.  Yes chocolate is a cure for everything!  So here it is......

 A decorated block of chocolate and card...

 Ohhhhh, my little dog looks sad doesn't he.....

 Wanted to give you a close up.....

 And the cute card with his doggie tag around him.....

 Just kept the inside plain with a bit of sponging, into the sponging at the moment....

 And look how cute this card is.  I love it, sponged all over the front.  He doesn't like it but I told him it was very artistic....

And the inside, I was very impressed with his efforts....
I am just going to write down all the punches I used for the puppy.
