Paperchase haul!

My Paperchase haul - Project Life / scrapbooking journalling cards post from www.madewithlovebykat.co.uk

I had a couple of hours to kill after work yesterday and was feeling in the mood to buy thanks to this gorgeous Hobbycraft haul post over at These Glittery Hands, so I went mooching about Manchester City Centre. I wanted some more 4x6 cards for my Project Life album, and I thought I'd head down to Paperchase to see if they had anything I could adapt. And check out my goodies!


I love these Scrabble-style initials postcards I found - one for me and one for the boy! Plus they'll look great in some of those tricksy tall 4x6 slots you get in the type D Project Life packs.




This postcard will work brilliantly as a journalling card and I thought it was particularly apt, as when I met Luke I had absolutely no intention of falling for him as hard as I have done - in fact he was pretty annoying and rude!


This flyer is for an event today - I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I thought I could maybe trim out some of those cute animals and use them in a December layout. 


Speaking of December... I'm going to the Olympia horse show to drink champagne and watch dressage with my mum and a friend next month. These cute stickers will be perfect for when I scrapbook the resulting pictures!


Enjoy - post below and let me know what you guys have been buying for your projects.

Opinions needed

I have a beautiful, really delicate vintage filigree brooch in the shape of a butterfly. The trouble is, I can't decide whether to make it into a necklace or a bracelet. What do you guys think? (Sorry about the blurry photo - that's what happend when I only have my phone, not the proper camera):

Explosion in a jewellery box

It took me ages to find a pretty way to store the jewellery for my Folksy shop . I didn't want it to get muddled up with my own jewellery, but at the same time I didn't just want to stick it all in a box. I also wanted something that I could take with me to craft shows. At first I used a French shabby-chic style mini jewellery mannequin, but it soon got full! Then I found a gorgeous bird-themed jewellery stand. Unfortunately I've been so busy making lovely new items recently that tha's got a bit stuffed too! Oh dear... (Sorry about the picture quality, I had to take them on my mobile) I think it's probably time to buy another jewellery stand. I want one that will complement my existing ones but not exactly the same. Any suggestions will be happily welcomed. And how do you all store your stock? Is it tucked away under a bed or proudly on display to make the most of any visitors?

Win a bracelet!

It's competition time! Would you like to win a one of a kind bracelet made from a vintage brooch, chunky amazonite nuggets, rock crystal, pretty pink Peruvian opal and Swarovski crystals? One that fastens with a cute heart-shaped toggle clasp? I thought so! Just to whet your appetite a bit more, here's a couple of pictures: Because it's nearly Valentine's Day I thought I'd have a bit of a soppy theme. So, to win all you have to do is follow me on Twitter here (if you're not already a follower, if you are you can get retweeting right away) and RT any of my tweets that mention the words "Valentine's", "love", "romance" or "romantic". For each RT you will be entered into the draw (no more than one an hour, though!). For two bonus entries, just blog about Made With Love or this competition. The competition runs until midnight on February 9th and I will be announcing the winner then via this blog. Good luck!
