Card inspired blinds

I just love the combination of yellow and grey so clean and contemporary.

So much so that I took along a sample of the paper, Carolina Breeze and got some blinds made for my lounge.

And then I found these beauties in a charity shop....

perfect.

So has your crafting ever spilled over into your home interiors,your wardrobe or the colour of your car?

When does a banner become a garland?

Is this a banner or a garland? Either way she's rather pretty. I punched the flowers and strung them onto my favourite button twine. The image is from LOTV

I'm trying to make a bit of effort with the inside of my cards.
Usually they're very simple, you know just the stamped verse but I got a bit of inspiration from Jen

My Month in Numbers April

I thought it was time to join in with Julie's month in numbers. I've been following this fun and interesting post for some time now and I hadn't realised how easy it is to join in. All you need is a little note book (I think you've seen this before ).

 Jot a few of the numbers that you come across in your month, take a few matching photos, then blog.
So here's my month in numbers for April

4 items on my Easter table this year

2 yummy Easter eggs eaten, Creme Egg & Caramel

21 my little boy's birthday

Wow where did those years go?

1506 minutes of Downton Abbey watched during my Easter break. Apparently I have another Christmas Special to watch!!!!!

5 friends went to Ally Pally.

62 was my seat number on a very noisy train home.

43 days to go before I fly To Australia for the British & Irish Lions Rugby tour, check out Taylor's Tours.



12322  steps taken on a blustery walk along the beach.

 Can you see it's an all time record and boy was I tired when I got home.

So there's my first month in numbers. Why don't you pop over to Julie;s and join in and then I can share your month in numbers too.

Relaunch

Ok so I've read Julie's tutorial. I've got my notebook,

 made some notes

 gathered some photos so I'm ready. 

I'm going to start with a project that I did at a workshop with Jean Hardy from Crafty Individuals.  I'm lucky enough to live near this talented lady and she holds regular workshops so I get to play with all her lovely stamps and dies. It's a canvas within a frame. I choose this stamp as it reminded me of me and my sister. I hope she likes it.

I'm hoping to start a post called this week I'm loving... so that I can to commit to more regular blogging..... fingers crossed.

Thanks for popping by.
