Laptop Back In Action

Well after numerous dreaded blue screen of deaths I decided that I would rebuild my laptop instead of my original impulse to rsuh out and by a new one. So I gathered all my disks together read the instructions then crossed my fingers and went for it. I thought easy I have done this before so will be simple, well let me tell you it was anything but and had to eventually admit defeat and ring the nice men at DELL to get there help - but my bad luck was to last a little longer my extended warrenty had run out 2 months ago so with fingers crossed I enquired how much to get it going and they said a max of £60.00 as this was cheaper than a new machine i said OK So after they talked me through some of the reinstall they took over my laptop remotely for 2 hours and hey presto a new fast and improved machine for the bargain price of 60.00. I have now finished installing my software and was quite selective on what I put back on to try and keep it working faster. ------------------------...

Picnic Basket - Treat/Gift Box

Made this to put in some homemade cookies for a friend who was a little bit poorly and needed cheering up... I used plain white cardstock and found some free printables and printed different pattern on each side then cut on my pazzles and just decorated with a chrysanthemum that I made (template coming soon) and ribbon. I am sure this has lots of uses and would be great for easter just filled with sweets or chocolate egg(s) and deocrate with chicks or rabbits for childeren or for the adults I think you could squeeze in 2 cupcakes. Why not put in some toiletries --- well the possibilities are endless. approx size 6.5" x 3.5" x 4.75" (lowest height) Available in GSD, KNK, AI, WPC, SVG Available HERE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My cutter files work on many machines.

New Project Decorative Crown Plaque

This one has sat in my "to do" folder for ages so thought it was about time to cut it and oh how much did I enjoy decorating it it was a departure from my usual, had to dig way down deep in my stash and pulled out stuff that had been left  unopened like paints and some stamps so it morphed from there, However don't think it turned out too bad. I have made 2 examples to give you a feel for what can be done with it . For myself I have made it a more "grown up" piece it to put on a small easel as a decoration. The second is a great little childs name plaque to hang on the bedroom door Includes - welded "princess" to start you off. It just occured that it could also be used to hang jewelery from it with the addtion of some small hooks. What about using it as part of your scapbook layout... Formats - GSD, WPC, AI, KNK & SVG Available from my website and will be added to Paperthreads soon.. ------------------------------------------------...

My Christmas Project - Faux Etching

I hope you have had a lovely peaceful Christmas and everything went smoothly, unfortunately we had a few mishaps not least of all our cooker breaking down, luckily the christmas dinner was almost ready so we just had to have our vegetables just a little "al-dente".. So at the moment if we can't cook it in the oven or microwave the we have to do without.. Over the festive period whilst OH was snoozing I have been playing with some templates for decorating glass blocks, which then lead me to trying to decorate some plain glass vases you know the ones you get free with your bouquets and floral displays. This is one that I finished yesterday, I used a 5" square glass vase, these are realatively inexpensive to buy but when you have finished they look really stunning, but beware it is addictived. I have been looking at mirrors and even my windows mmm. I bought a roll of  "Readyroll Static Cling Window Covering Plain Frosted" from B...
