A BRAIDED BOOKMARK

Hi Guys,

I made a bookmark last night just whilst watching tv, of what i think would look lovely with a white bible for a childs first Holy Communion or Christening. Or even as a small Christmas gift for a friend as i have threaded on an angel, i just thought it was a nice touch, i will make more with different things attached but as i was braiding with white satin ribbon, so i thought the angel was a nice touch.  When i did my 'Vick's Rosetrim Butterflies' video, i showed a braided ribbon that you could use for the butterflies body and said i would show you how to braid it, via a video, so i wanted to do another item from braided ribbon, hence the bookmark, so, over the next few days i will be posting a video showing you how to make it.  Here are a couple of pics below for you to see hope you like the idea, hugs Vick xxx

FLY AWAY BUTTERFLY VIDEO

Hi Folks,

As promised on the post below i have made a video a couple of days ago for your perusal, i do hope you will have a go at these yourself, and i hope you like them, hugs, Vick xxx

FLY AWAY BUTTERFLY, FLY AWAY!!!

Hello there my crafty friends,

I thought i would show you a lovely embellishment i made for me to use on projects! You may have seen them before, if you have you'll know how to make them, if not read on..........

I will show you my pics here now, but will do a video at the weekend on how to make these beauties yourself as they are mighty expensive to buy as they are, so look out for the link post on here...........and what's more, they are easy peasy lemon squeezy......You may have noticed that i'm all for making my own embellishments if i can, i love, for example,  Prima embellishments like anyone else but am working out ways to make their butterflies and flowers, and i have, so i will do some videos on the things i have made, that i think you will love and they are such a money saver too, so.....they look good and are inexpensive, can't be bad huh? So without further ado here are my pics i hope you like what i have made from an organza trim!!!! Hugs Vick xxx

FOR LIBBY!

Hi Guys,

Sometime ago i made a shabby chic mirror for my mum and posted it on here, i added some flowers that i had made from my recycled suede skirts! I have also added them to my cards and other projects. Since then many of my friends have asked how i have made them and i've told them they are dead easy a child could make them, and a child wanted to make them, hence my title!!! I have a friend on Youtube, Sue, and herself and her grand-daughter Libby watch my videos together, and i thought it would be nice to make the video showing how to make my flowers, however, i promised that months ago. What with my health and my dear brother leaving us i hadn't got round to it, well i thought the time is right now, that girl has some patience, i can tell ya, more than i have anyways, lol........ok so here is my video and its in two parts which are both uploaded now, so if you want to have a shufty at them i would be very grateful, and if you can leave me a comment on there (YT) on here (my blog) or FB so i know you've visited me and i can say hi !!! Hugs, Vick

HAPPY SUNDAY!!!

Hey guys,

No card this morning i'm afraid, but i just wanted to come on my blog and simply say Have a Happy Sunday!!! If you're going to church, sing loud and proud and if not, listen to the birds instead!! I am very tired and am considering going back to sleep, so it may be later on when i get the chance to get back online so i thought i would say Good Morning now, incase i miss it.....lol........Hugs&Blessings to you all, have a happy, safe and peaceful Sunday!!!

THE 'NO STRESS' CARD..........

Hey Gang,

This following card wasnt made for any reason and i have found that these cards sometimes make the better card and are more enjoable to make, as you havent got a recipient in mind therefore, some of the stress of making a card for someone is not there! I don't know about you but when i have to make a card for someone or a design card for a company i stress out over it and i really should learn to chill out, which is why i love doing cards like this, that have noone specific in mind and they are such fun, so without further ado here is my card and i hope you like it, no stress!!!! Hugs Vick xxx

Ingredients used to make this card


' Isabella' a Saturated Canary Rubber Stamp from Little Darling Rubber StampsHERE
Promarkers
Stickles 'stardust'
Lace flower handmade by me, the link to the video on 'how to' is below
Pearl (12mm) brad from Wild Orchid Crafts
Ivory pearl string trim and Ivory Marabou feathers from my stash
