Where has the time gone!

Wow!  I can't believe it has been that long since I last posted.  I haven't done a lot of crafting over the last month but I will share with you what I have done.

There has recently been another round of U Stamp with Dawn & friends this time using the Big Shot.  There was as usual some very creative projects put forward and here is my take on just two of them.

This is my take a gorgeous project put up by Danielle Daws.  It is a little picnic basket a perfect little gift box for that something special.

This little book is my take on a project by Natasha Zandbergen .  It is perfect to carry in your handbag or as Natasha said in your glove box.  Opened it has 2 little stacks of note paper that can be removed and used to leave a note.

Both of these projects used Stampin up products to complete including the Sizzix clear square scallop die and the top note die the for basket.

This gorgeous little basket is from the last round of U Stamp Spring Soiree which I have just finished.  It is my take on a beautiful project by Kirsty Brown.  I used a blue and brown theme for mine as I am going to

 give it my Dad for part of his father's day present.  I will fill it up with his favourite vege seeds and some gardening hand products, perfect. 

I have also completed another week on the Gothic Arch Challenge at  Inkurable Stampers.  I am a little behind I think they are currently upto week 7 or 8 at the moment, but I have week 4 almost finished and with the school holidays just around the corner shouldn't take too long to catch up.

                                 

This was Makeesha's recent sketch challenge #27 which I unfortunately didn't have time to post before the deadline.  This was for my MIL's birthday and I finally got to use the new Vintage Vogue stamp  from Stampin Up.  Just love how it turned out.  All products used were from Stampin up with the exception of the g/g ribbon and prima pearls.

I won't leave it as long between posts next time.  Thanks for dropping bye, I will be back shortly with some photos that I took on a recent trip to Margaret River of their Cow Parade.
