He lives in a pineapple under the sea...


This box card I have made for my Niece, Erin, who will be 3 in a couple of weeks time. Like me, she is mad on Sponge bob! When I found this box card cut file, I had to have a go at making one! The first one I made is for a friends baby who is going to be 1 in a few weeks time. I wasn't 100% happy with it, so will no doubt give it a bit of something different! 

So, I made this one for my little Bob pants! All using my Silhouette Cameo (the images are all print and cut features!). Instead of using cocktail sticks to hold Sponge bob and Patrick up, I have used Acetate which makes it look a lot nicer.  

Today I have been playing around with my new Spectrum Noir pencils and coloured a few images. Ill hopefully get them on to a card tomorrow. Its the H's birthday tomorrow and I think (Or hope!!) that we will be going somewhere nice for the day, weather permitting of course! 

This weekend consisted of tidying and clearing some of the crap from my craft room and getting myself organised in the hope that my mojo would return. And it has! :) 

PS - I also made this cake:


For Dan at work, as we didn't make it out for his messy night out. The symbol is from Assassins Creed, which was hand cut by yours truly! The inside was black vanilla cake with red cherry butter cream!

Stepping down...

So, I have taken the sad decision to step down from my DT position with Crafters Companion. To much has been going on with my private life these past few months and I have not been able to fulfill the requirements of the job due to one thing or another. However, the lovely Sharon Callis has said that when I am back and ready to get going again, she will have me back, which I am really grateful for as the DT girl's are a good bunch.

I will be back, once everything is sorted.

Whilst I'm mentioning, there is a DT call for Crafters Companion on Leanns blog. Im not sure how to link using this app but check out her Facebook page, she has the link there. And lastly, get applying!!
