Product Focus - Craft Consortium/Valentine's Day

I'm doing something a little bit different today...  showcasing some of the many products that 

Craft Consortium have for sale that suit those Valentine's Day projects you may soon be working on.  

Of course, some of you may have already started your projects for mid February - but that's ok because you still might notice something here that you hadn't spotted before.

After all, there really are quite a lot of options to choose from!

So how did I choose to showcase some of these products?

Let me show you...

(This one's here for those of us who aren't into hearts and flowers but still want to mark the occasion in some way).

I chose to wrap tiny parcels with the decoupage papers as it struck me as a good way to properly see some of the many different designs in action.

You may well have noticed the charms and adhesive pearl hearts before...  but how many of you have ever considered those sweet little envelope stickers as little toppers, I wonder?

And so, so easy to make that I didn't even get my dies out - choosing instead to use a much neglected circle punch that I have.  

Just layer it up two or three times and add the sticker.

Simple, but effective.

I hope this has inspired you to think outside of the box a little and really stretch your stash to its maximum. 

After all...

Who would have thought that decoupage papers, charms, lace, etc could really work quite so well as actual gift wrap?

Just goes to show how versatile these products can really be.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I'll be back with a proper 'make' later in the week...

Blast From The Past... My favourite TYI tag ever!

I have so enjoyed my time as a DT member of Tag You're It, and I mean that in all sincerity - especially as I had only been blogging online for a very short time when Tracey allowed me to become part of her team.

So today's post is a 'blast from the past' as we were all asked if we had a favourite tag we had made to share.

I remember making this tag. 

I was still using my Ipad for photo's and my editing skills were...  well...  not very good to say the least (see darker photo below).

I would have taken a new photo but this tag has long since gone, so I made do with a revamp - though still using the same editing app as I haven't embraced changing to anything else.

(I mean seriously, I have a craft room to try and keep straight and that's a full time battle in itself)!

So yes, I've grown and changed in some ways thanks to this wonderfully fun challenge site.

I hope it's helped you on your craft journey, too...

and if you are one of the lovely people who has ever stopped by for a visit -

THANK YOU.
