I stamped another Maggie on some scrap card and water coloured her in (think i need practice at that LOL) cut her out and added foam pad to the back and stuck her over the image i already stamped. I added the little blue flowers also available from Sally's shop and drew the stems in. sponged another piece of card with the blue ink and stamped for my friend and added another flower.

For the Baby card i cover my card blank in paper from the America paper company layered some pink card stock on white stamped the Boot Bunny on some spotty paper cut the boot and paws and nose out then stamped again on white card and cut Bunny's face out i layered it all up with foam pads for 3D look and stuck it to my mat added some ribbon round my mat and stuck it all to the card added the flower at the top with a tiny epoxy sticker with baby on in the center and added a tiny red button heart at the bottom.

For the TAG i covered it in freebie paper tore some handmade paper and stuck it to the tag, stamped coloured and cut out Hat Maggie and added her with 3D pads added a big flower with a brad in the center to the top and added some ribbon from my stash.

Arty Girlz challenge 16 ~ Buttons

This weeks challenge over on Arty Girlz is Buttons. so go check it out there's a some challenge Blog candy up for grabs. so go check it out.



Here's mine yep you got it another frame well i did get a pack of 3 you know so that meen's there's 1 left so you have been warned LOL.



I used Basic Grey Lilly kate paper and cute little vintage buttons, don't you just love buttons i do, not so much to actually use in crafting but if i see any in the charity shops or at boot sales i just have to have them, you cant beat sticking your hands in a tin of buttons and swirling it around LOL i know i'm making myself sound weird now aint I so best i tell you about the frame instead.



I painted the sides and back of the frame white then used it as a template to cut the paper for the front which i then glued to the front of the frame, i removed the shanks off the buttons and glued them to the front ,that's about it 1 altered frame the picture, and before you say it's wonky i know it is that's me being arty PMSL it actually looks OK in the frame like that , (shame my photography stills aint up to much) the picture is of my dad when he was about 2 years old, i just love all the old family photos getting a nice collection now.



Right i better stop waffling as i do want you's to come come back and visit my blog again dont wanna scare you's off...
