Brooches on a sewing theme.

I've been a little subdued this past week as I've had a cyst removed from my back and it has left me with a hole 2cm deep. Each day I have to get it packed and dressed and it is quite painful which leaves me with little enthusiasm to craft for long periods. However, I have a few projects that I can pick up and do when the mood takes me. I finished these brooches using the sewing machine buttons I bought at the craft show in Exeter a few weeks ago.

Smart dressed man!

The whole time I was making this card, I was humming that zz top song. Our eldest son loves a suit and this is the card I made for him.

Tonic die

This card was made using a die from tonic. It was issue 5 I think.

I also used the papers that came with it and die cut the flowers from some plain card stock.

Guy cards

Some male cards I made and sent last year.

New Year

This year...more posting.

With this in mind, here is a photo of the Christmas cards I made for our parents.

Hunkydory Christmas cards

I got the Christmas cracker card collection last year (or was it the year before)?!! I loved it but didn't want to use it straight away. However, I needed to get my Christmas cards started and thought it was about time I got it out and begin creating. I managed to make 11 cards using the kit and adding a few bits from my stash.

This is the bits I had left from the kit.
