Certificate in Paper Craft

So I have taken the plunge back into studying and embarking on the Certicate in Paper Craft.

There are lots of units to cover, however I have made a start and here is my first project:

And introducing.....

My very own little crafter......

Handmade scented candles for Mother's Day to accompany....

Occasionally, I make things for our house or my family!

Hanging Halloween Decoration

St.Teresa's Youth Project

Once a month I work at my local church youth club, firstly with the juniors (8 - 11 years old) and then the seniors (11+).

I have also produce art work for display around the Church:

Holy Week and Easter Celebrations!

These were subsequently donated to the local primary school.

A.R.K.

And there's more!

Bringing us right up to date now with more recent Projects:

Butterflies - I love making cards with them in!

These were birthday treats made for child's classmates!

'Exploding' Happy 21st Birthday!

I was asked to produce some unique 50th Birthday Party Invitations - as guitars!

Happy Month!

So it has been far too long as I said since I last posted, so time for an update.

Life is hectic - work, children, crafting, living!

My sincere apologies for not updating the Blog, however I intend to do better.

For now, I have been looking back through the photographs I have taken of various Projects and so to bring you (almost) up to speed, here are a few I made earlier!

Holidays and Bugs!

Hi crafters.


Have been missing in action for a while, as my children were on school holidays and then my daughter was off for another week, with a chest infection - which hubby has now got! Thankfully, they now seem to be recovering well.


Before the school break, I did manage to make a card for my daughter's friend, who turned 4, and my wonderful sister-in-law, who has one of those '0' birthdays this week! I will post these later for you to have a look.


I am now working on 50th birthday invitations for a friend, in the shape of a guitar, so watch this space over the coming weeks.


Have a great Sunday morning and thank you for taking the time to stop by.


Love and prayers,
Antonietta

'Hello Kitty' Valentine's Day Card

Black card stock, using the card feature on the 'Hello Kitty Greetings ' Cricut cartridge at 7".

Only two layers were used: Layer 1 in white & Shift Layer 1 for the lilac bow and nose!

Icicle Stickles were added to the circle of the lilac bow.

Red glitter was added to the heart.

I cut a 6 1/2" shadow from white paper, to allow a suitable message to be written.

Please feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Valentine's Day Treat Bags for my son's Year 4 Class

Clear Bags, filled with 'Haribo Hearts' (yummy!) - 4" x 3 1/8"

Black card stock, folded in half, stapled to the top of the bag - 4" x 3 1/4"

Red card stock run through the 'Kimmy Luvs' Cuttlebug embossing folder - 3 1/8" x 1 7/8"

Heart cut from 'Simply Charmed' Cricut cartridge, at 2" page 30 (white and black card stock)

Using the Gypsy, I used Layer 1 and 'hid' the contour lines.

Foam pads were used to raise the hearts up.

Voila! - Happy Valentine's Day

I used this design for My Pinkalicious Blog Hope Friday (February) -
