Ribbon

Really Reasonable Ribbon are having a super organisation theme week 'til the 16th of March, with a chance to win some great prizes. They are also asking us to share our ribbon organisation method with them.... 

Here is my ribbon.. all stored in two small cardboard boxes. The ones that are in rolls together in one box ...

and then the ones that I buy by the metre sorted by colors and stored in plastic bags.  

Today they are all neatly in their boxes for the photo... you definitely don't want to see how they are on a crafty day !!!!

Quick Cards Magazine

Just returned from the card-making lesson I give out to some kids here and today had the pleasure of hearing one of the kids saying how much she likes coming   :) Was so pleased with that! 

Don't have a card today, but I thought I would make a quick post about something exciting. It's about this month's Quick Cards magazine and I'm one of the girls featured in one of this month's articles  :))  woo hoo so exciting! 

I had forgotten how exciting it was to be in a magazine. I love magazines, and last month hadn't realised my subscription was due ...wooops... and since there was a gorgeous 6x6 paper pack as a freebie, just couldn't miss that! Luckily the stationery had the last one, of course I got it much more expensive this way! Well, now I have to wait for this month's to arrive here in Malta as still haven't renewed my subscription, I spent way tooo much on craft stuff lately, and have to hold on a  bit!!!

Better go now, still got dinner to fix and ermmm some DT Cards as well!

A Sleeping Baby

Hello good morning everyone. It's a lovely bright sunny day here in Malta, a bit windy, but still nice. We're going to the Carnival in Valletta today, so really hope the weather stays like this.

I have my DT Card today for this weeks Challenge at One Stitch At A Time and this week the challenge is to add a charm to your project. ... nice and easy, and me too so loved the challenge as I got to choose from one of Sylvie's gorgeous stamps and so quickly I chose this beautiful Sleeping Baby.

I kept my card quite simple today, just like babies.... The beautiful digi paper is from the Baby Boy set at Stamp Fairy, border punch MS, butterflies Do Crafts and of course my Nestabilities. 

I got the charm from Michael's, which is one of the goodies I had bought when I was on holiday in USA.

This week's sponsor is Creative Craft World and the lucky winner will get 5 promarkers. 

Some challenges 

- Pear Tree Designs 38 - RIBBON

- Your Next Stamp 37 - FEELING BLUE

- Stamp Something - DIGIS

Thanks for looking today,

Stamp Fairy Friday

I'm so excited today with my project, yes I don't have a card today, but I made a little box instead. It's the first time for me that I'm doing such a project... but when I saw Gerda's lovely stamp for today's release I immediately thought to make a little keepsake box where to keep baby's teeth. 

Wasn't an easy task for me however, in fact this is my second attempt as made such a mess with the first one, but then tried again, and finally I was pleased with it. I coloured Patsy ToothFairy with my promarkers, added some simple embellishments and then one of my lovely embroidered Little Snippets butterfly for the final touch! 

I also covered the inside of the box, filled it a bit with some cushion filling and finally covered it with some nice satin ................... from a remnant piece of satin from my wedding dress ... I did say to myself that one day I'll find some use to it he he :) 

Here are the other Patsies in the set... aren't they cute.

Now don't forget to hop over to the Stamp Fairy main blog to see what the other girls did this week and to get your Friday Freebie as well. .. and if you like challenges like me, remember that you still have time to enter your card in this week's Stamp Fairy challenge. The theme this week is a ANYTHING BUT A CARD!
