How sweet is this

I was blog hopping- as you do- and came across instructions to make these adorable, sweet, cute, amazing gift pouches. In the USA they call them sour cream containers as i guess that is what their sour cream comes in. First off i have to apologise to the owner of the blog where i first saw them as i didn't copy the link because i was so excited and had to make one there and then, really they are so very very easy to make..                                                   I used a die and stamp set from Paper Tray Ink to make this cute tag. The paper is 6x6 made into a tube like a toilet roll and glued down at each end and then you crimp it with a crimper. I just happen to have one that my friend gave me about 10 years ago and i have never used it. I have been tempted to throw it out many times but now i am so glad that i kept it as it gives these that little extra finesse.

 

 Here's a LO of my mum, it should be titled "never to young to swing" The papers are all Basic Grey.

 I got some Stampin Up goodies during the week and here are two cards with different sentiments. The HB sentiment is an Ali Edwards stamp from Technique Tuesday (another monthly package i get). The idea for these cards came from the SU catalogue.

 Here's a LO that just had to be done as the story had to be recorded. In our family we are all tall. I am 6ft. My son Joe has been taller than me for a while now but not taller than his dad. Well, he is now, Joe is 6ft 5in and he's only 16, how much taller will he get?

The tape measure on this page is a canvas ribbon from Tim Holtz, the ruler stamp is from Paper Tray Ink and the Title letters are from Stampin Up (notice how perfectly aligned they are-i used my new stamp positioner)

 BTW-the papers i used to make my three cards in yesterday post were October Afternoon, Fly A Kite. My new AB FAB FAVOURITE.

and last but not least is a photo of my yummy Yorkshire puddings that i made last Sunday and promised to show you.

Wow the set out of this post is all over the place, that's what happens when you are rushing. Sorry.

It's a public holiday here in the West tomorrow so if you have tomorrow off have a nice day. Joe is going to the Royal Show with some friends. Caitlin as i type this is at a Music Festival called Park Life which started at 12 lunch time and finishes at 12 midnight, guess what poor soul has to pick her up?

ME

but i cant complain as its also the start of the school holidays here and that means holidays for me, and guess what? I have a real lot of crafing mojo happening so that's what i will be doing.

OK that's me done

take care everyone

thanks for dropping by.

Easter bunny

I am trying to be super organised here and have prepared my Easter gifts for 1 teacher and 3 other ladies aren't they cute? There is one that hasn't been embossed (she was my first prototype). I always seem to forget about my cuttlebug, not this time, I think the bunnies look better embossed and definitely ooh la la with their necklaces. Quiet night tonight so hopefully I will be able to do some craft. Notice I say craft, I don't actually feel like scrapbooking (shock-horror). Maybe some cards or some quilting or I could make some pot holders (i have just been on to an amazing blog that is full of such inspiration) i will have to find it again and put a link up. I have got 100's of fat quarters just sitting here doing nothing-just think of all the pot holders I could make with them.
The last day of cricket is here tomorrow. Joe's team made the grand final and it's their turn to bat tomorrow, so I had better go and make an appearance and cheer them on.
Hope you all have a great w/e
Linda
