sweetly handmade

Busy times

I've neglected blogging, after i swore i wouldn't! But sometimes life gets in the way!

 

Its been so hectic with uni and my three beautiful bambinos that before i know it the day has been and gone in a whiz!

Life is good at, I have exciting things on the horizon, and I deserve them too, i've worked so hard to achieve what I have.

So this isn't a handmade post or even a tutorial post, but I just sat down to catch my breath and wanted to write them down. After all, this is a place for me to document me, my life and everything about it!

I will make a more concious effort to blog, because I enjoy it!

 

Anyway, that is it for now, off back to get creative.

back soon

papertrey ink build a banner

so yesterday I described how much I love this set of stamps, today I am going to show you what I created using them...

 

This is a pregnancy journal from a friend, these dies are perfect for anything baby or child and so versatile! The fact that they come with stamps is just the icing on the cake in my eyes.

Products used

 papertrey ink

banner builder stamp and die set

summer sunrise ink

simple alphabet

aqua mist card stock

other

bind it all wires white

mountboard

a4 white card

ribbon

 

I made a box to present it in, and as the front cover is 3d i wanted something they could store it in to protect it...

 
 

the box was simple enough to make and is sturdy enough to keep it protected .

To add a little extra special look to it, I wrapped the journal in white tissue paper which I stamped with papertrey inks heart backgrounds stamp set in brown ink...

 

Inside the box also i included a tip shit about what to include in the journal, as the gift it going to someone who isn't a craft-er, I thought it would be helpful to help her capture those irreplaceable memories.
