4 hours later



Well...was this epic...I thought after my last bag making event of 45 minutes it may have taken about an hour longer....but over 3 hours longer...But I must admit I do like it a whole lot more, and it was just an invention out of my head, so I shouldn't whinge too much, and I will definitely use it...




So, this is what I started with...



















And as I said,


4 hours later...


Well. what do you think???worth making a few more...I am thinking I may make a couple more of the plain, no frill ones....They take up way less material and much quicker too...
Well...that's it for now, about to have a coffee and put my feet up and enjoy relaxing with the kids on their last day of hols!!!!
Until next time
lots of it

Baby hugs, Big boy hugs, bear hugs...













This is a page through the years of Cameron and Lachlan...they had a special bond when they were little, and still do. I love hug photos...don't you!!!???



I made the letters myself by glueing newspaper to some old sheet packaging, I then watercoloured the newspaper. When it was dry I used my cuttlebug machine...think it was REDTAG dies. I then used dimensional magic on the letters....

If you don't have a die cutting machine, you have to get yourself one. I use mine on nearly every page I do!










Ok...well that's it for now





Until next time, lots of it
