Teachers Gifts

Friday is Lily's last day of school, so of course this brings up the problem of what to buy for the teachers as a thankyou. Money was a wee bit tight and Anice brought out a Tea themed download called Tea's Up so I decided to combine the two lol. So thinking of tea.....what comes to mind? Biscuits of course lol So bought a couple of packs of fancy biccies and set about playing, this is what I have come up with :o)

Saturday again so that means a new week at Allsorts. This week Helene wants lemon and lime colours on your cards and projects.

Ididn't have much in the way of lemon and lime colours on papers so used some scraps of card and my last piece of the scrummy ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. The image is a Penny Black stickeroo and I am so sad to say the pack is almost finished, going to have to buy some more I think they are so fab to use.

fathers day card

This is the card I have made for my step dad for Fathers Day. The image is a 3d decoupage sheet. Nice and simple and already cut YAY!! Had a scrap of blue card for the corners and nestie cut circle. If I'd had a full sheet I would have layered the paper onto it too. The paper is from the Salt n Pepper download from Funky Hand, its a great download all black and white and grey so it goes with absolutely EVERY colour :o)
