MY FIRST EXPLODING BOX
I MADE THIS, YET AGAIN WITH THE TUTORIAL FROM CHARMED CARDS & CRAFTS.
THIS IS MY FIRST EVER EXPLODING BOX,I DIDNT HAVE ANY MATCHING PAPERS FOR INSIDE, SO I LIKE THE OUTSIDE, BUT THE INSIDE IS RANDOM RATHER THAN FLOWING!THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOXES HAVE LOVELY CO-ORDINATING PAPERS & RIBBONS & LOOK QUITE SPECTACULAR. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MAKING THIS BOX, SO WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MY FINE TUNED BOXES.

Brag Book for my Grandads 90th Birthday
My Grandad, is a well known swimming Instructor, he has taught thousand of people, adults & Children to swim & trained swimmers for the Olympics. In 2006 he won the Sports Personalities of the year award for his help in teaching people to swim, lots of time just because he could & not for any money.
This is the brag book I made for his 90th birthday, the first pictures are of his father who also taught people to swim & trained them.
We are all very proud of his place in History.

Quilled Roses
These cards I made with quilled roses,I love making them. the slipper card I made completely from scratch, I used glitter glue on acetate, then when it was dry I renoved it from the acetate to leave the glitter slipper. Then using strips of co-ordinating paper, cut into strips I quilled the Roses.
