Happy Birthday to my Dear Mum!!!

Happy Birthday to my Dear Mum who celebrated her 60th Birthday Yesterday....I made this Kaiser Frame for Mum !!! I dug up some of her photo's from when she was a little girl... added some embellishments ... I am very Happy with the outcome....

Each section I made into a separate little picture or story.....................

Using my beautiful Hooked on Craft Roses to add Character to my project.....

I love this photo of my mum and her big sister below it is soo cute!!!

Handmade presents are the best aren't they ?? I really do try to make or at least make part of a present that I give members of my family.... Even if it is just the card!!! I cant bring myself to buy a card .... When I know now all members of my family and friends all wait to see what they get each birthday or special occasion.....

I hope all my readers are well and happy!! and are finding some time to play with their craft!! Til next time Take care ... Lots of Love Michelle xxx

A little HOOKED on CRAFT....

So it all starts with a image .... Sweet Tilda coloured using my beloved Copic Markers.............

Okay...My favourite Flower and Embellishment Company in the whole wide world has posted they are looking for more design team members ... so nervously I have created this card using their flowers and gems....My goodness I love their products so much .. you can do so many things and have so many looks and themes just by adding colour!! Everyone that comes into Scrap 2 Relax I'm sure has heard the story of me turning red and rashy at seeing Karen's treasures from Hooked on Craft at the Burwood Picture to Page Show.... then pleading with Karen .. " Can we please get these treasures in"??? Well My dream and wish was granted ... and now, I know we have some of our customers as addicted as me!!! So above is my entry or my application into joining the wonderful people at Hooked on Craft www.hookedoncraft.com as being a member of their design team......

I really enjoyed using the red and white colours... I have been colouring with these with a few images .. Its classic.. What do you think ??? Okay well I'm off to put some more cards together and to listen to my sweet boy read his prep reader!! I love how excited he is in learning to read and write!!! Til Next Time ... Love Michelle xx
