Project Life - my album. Part eight and we're up to date!


Every Monday we play games with my best friend of nearly 30 years, Laura, and her fiance Matt. I wanted to make a spread dedicated to our love of board games, especially as we're playing a brilliant one at the moment, Pandemic Legacy. 

To make this card I stuck a 3x4 filler card over a plain 6x4 card and added circles made using my large punch. I liked the effect so much I used it all over the page, sometimes with plain or glittery card and sometimes using the filler cards. 


Circles from a 3x4 filler card:


More glittery thickers, of course!


More circles, and a chipboard sticker - I love how this one came out. The paper was from my Fine & Dandy pack - if you look above you'll see I also punched a circle from it to use on the right hand page in order to bring the design together coherently. 


Luke's phone can make photobooth style images, so we were playing about with it one evening. The embellishment is punched from a 3x4 card - it fit perfectly in the middle there. 


This page isn't finished yet, but I thought I'd post a picture to give you an idea of how it's going - plus it seemed a shame to stop these posts before they were all up to date! I need to add the journaling, but I'm really pleased with how it's coming along. I have another 6x4 photo to add in the bottom right corner as well. 


Oh look! There's a watercolour tag I made using the how-to I linked to last week.

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):

A wet Wednesday watercolour project to try

I'm actually going to the theatre tonight, so it's more likely to be a soggy Thursday project, but I couldn't resist the alliteration! I fell in love instantly with this dip dyed watercolour stationary project from Paper & Stitch - definitely one for me to have a go at! I have card, but I also have little craft envelopes and TAGS (brilliant!) that would look amazing with this done.

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!
