Day 24 - Anniversary card for my hubby

It's my wedding anniversary today and I'm also doing a road trip for a few hours to take my son to a footy clinic and pick up my daughter who's been staying with my parents for a couple of days.

I made a card for my lovely husband this morning. It started with a photocopy of an applique on one of my skirts. I then cut this out and added some nice cardboard. Pictures below are of the process, the front and the inside of the card.

Day 19 - A thankyou card from 3 munchkins from a travelling campsite craft cupboard

We needed to make a thank you card from 3 little kidlets for some lovely people who very generously gave them some gifts recently. This is what we ended up making. It was supposed to look like a patchwork quilt with the 3 of them under it. We got the idea from a book by Anna Maria Horner. http://www.annamariahorner.com/  I don't think ours ended up looking quite like a quilt but I still think it's cute. You can use tiny scraps of fabric for this one and cut them up and stick them onto cardboard to make a little quilt.

Coming soon to a mailbox near you. xxx

Day 2 - Wonky Robot

Was feeling quite terrified and also exhilarated when I went to bed last night thinking about my 365 day challenge...Scared of running out of ideas and time but really excited about being creative and spontaneous. After completing my second challenge I feel energised.

This afternoon I decided to make this "Wonky Robot" top for my baby. He isn't perfect but I think he's cute and it was fun designing him and choosing materials.

Craft cupboard materials included scraps of fabric (including his head made from an old chenille blanket I picked up from hard garbage and have used to make about 6 pairs of kids pants), my gram's buttons and some stretchy tubing for his floppy arms and his neck.

And modelled here by the gorgeous man himself.

First reason not to die with a full craft cupboard - babies.

Day 1 - 20/03/2012

I needed to send some baby cards to my cousin who has recently has a baby girl, and my brother and siter inlaw who had a gorgeous little boy last week. This gave me my first reason not to die with a full craft cupboard. In my craft boxes I found cardboard, fabric scraps and a few other bits and peices to make 3 cards. I was able to make these sitting next to my two year old son while he did some scribbling.Thus begins my journey.
