Birthday Card - Bustier Design
Laura Ashley
Another project made using Laura Ashley products. They are lovely....:) Thanks for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment :)
Laura Ashley
I have received some lovely Laura Ashley stamps and papers when I subscribed to Papercraft Inspirations magazine. I have made this card using them and I hope you like it.
Mini Book
This is how small this mini book is, it sits on my Versamark inkpad and still looks tiny compared to it.I have made this book using the accordeon style as the spine.I did do a photo tutorial but for some reasons I just cannot find it - If I do I will put it up. This is perfect to hold some small pictures and make a cute little gift. It can also be made into a keyring holder. I have used Creative Tone Border Pack -Ivory Black by Papermania. It has some lovely designs in this pack.

I have used my Free stamp from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine to make this fairy card. I have used Distress ink in red to colour the image in, and Distres ink in brown as well for the body. The dots and sentiment is from ' Polka Dots and Paisley' from Stampin Up. Finished off with Gros grain ribbon from SU as well - loving ribbons at the minute.Hope you like it!

Sneak peak of my other blog and if you click on the pic below, it will take you straight to my stampin up blog.Hope to see you there, and leave a comment please, I will be pleased!:)

Just a card...
Hey crafters!!I am going to be very honest and admit, I don't even like this card.I made this card couple weeks ago and today when I saw that , I was like, what is this? Why did I even make something like this? I have even tried faux stitching! I must have been in one of these moods, weird moods...so, I must post it to remind me not to do this mistake again.Sorry peeps, but this is what I have to show at the minute....Watch this space for a project made using bind it all.I have just finished it now but too lazy to take pics and all.

A quick catch up...
Hey everyone!I am so so sorry, I didn't realise I had couple of emails/queries regarding my video post...I have been very busy lately and didn't really check my email which is attached to my blog and anyway...I will do more videos hopefully soon but remember it is a learning process for me, so,I am still struggling with the uploading bit. It's kind of a hit and miss at the moment. And regarding special request about a talking tutorial video....well...I never thought about it:) Do you really want me to talk you through a tutorial? Don't you like my little notes in my videos then? Well, I will think about it. I have a very strong accent and you might not even understand what I am saying, but, I will think and if I will do one, then you will see one - obviously!
But thanks for all your sweet comments - It means a lot to me:))I love doing these short video clips though it takes time and can be a bit stressful at times...I know that there might come a time where I will not find the time for blogging or making these videos so I want to make the most out of it.
Thanks for all your encouragement. And yeah, the chipboard were precut and you can get them almost everywhere now in a good craft store eventhough I cannot remember where I got mine from..sorry!
Okay, bye for now - speak soon.

Holidays - At last!
I am on holidays as from now on....Feeling absolutely tired and we were all stunned at work that we have managed to pack everything, so that they could be moved to our new school site for next academic year, which is in August.Everyone is tired, and some are even leaving today itself for a holiday - lucky people!
Today, Im feeling as though I do not want to do anything at all - Can't be bothered at all. I just want to relax with a book - did I say book? Nah, not even a book!My eyes are tired, I need to rest them.Im feeling a bit overwhelmed.I think I still cannot believe what has been going on at work this week with the packing, moving and everything else.It is a lot to take in. And now that its done and over with, I still feel on the edge.It will take me at least 2 days to unwind completely I guess.
Anyway, You might see more of me in the next couple of weeks.I would like to go away for a week end in the countryside or something.
Okay, speak to you soon.
Take care
Tassy

Why?
Just a quick note as I am so annoyed.I left my email address in my last post as I wanted some help with video editing. But my email was showered with spam messages...and I know it has been like this since I had my email up here...Why? why do people do that?! so so annoying!!!I am so angry.Please, do not abuse information found on my blog to send me those horrible messages....I even had one where someone will definitely kill me if I dont send my bank details, I mean, what kind of people do things like this?
I am so so annoyed.
Please, live and let live!
Bye for now
Take care and be sensible.

Altered Chipboard
Hi there! I have finally managed to upload this video...I have been struggling with this one as first and foremost, it was over 17 mins, I mean, What was I thinking? I didn't know it has to be 10 mins max on to be downloaded on Youtube. I have tried to download it here on blogger, but couldn't do it. I didn't really want to put it on youtube but well,I guess I have no choice.
Anyway, finding a song to go with it was another story as I couldnt download the songs I want from Imesh to be played on movie maker program...All in all, it was such a headache that I want to do another one soon, to try and solve all the problems I've had.If any of you out there are familiar with uploading videos using movie maker, and downloading songs, please please please, email me.Leave me a comment and a link to your blog, I will get back to you. I did put my email here but the minute I did so,my email was flooded with spam emails....so annoying!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video. I have fast forward this one much faster as I had to make it shorter...Sorry about that!Give me any constructive feedback as I would like to improve on my videos.Thank you!

Mini Cards for School Leavers
I was asked to make some cards for the school leavers this year. They are friends at work , teachers who want to give these to their form group and I was given enough time to do them so I thought yeah why not. I made these weeks ago now.
Because I had to make about 60 I opted for a quick option , which is nevertheless effective.I decided to use Big shot to cut out some designs. I had butterflies, sunflowers and daisies. My friends love them...I printed the names and cut them out and mounted them on patterned paper to match the die cut shape.
Ane because I believe in making something pretty, even more prettier, I decided to package them before giving them to my friends. I didn't want to hide them in gift wrap, so I decided to use pink ribbon to tie them up and also, put them in clear cello bags...I fell in love with Cello bags.
What do you think?:)
The small hearts are the cut offs when I was die cutting the butterflies, so I threw them in the bags and they look like confetti! Now why do I miss my school days??
My friends at work were impressed and they didn't know how to thank me. I got a big box of choccies and gift voucher from Next....and money!I think they are mad!
Bye for now and hope you like it.
