Two in one day!

Well, whilst I have a spare couple of minutes I thought I would stick some pics on here.  The recipes will have to wait until later in the week I am afraid.  the first ones are of my other half Alastair making a card.  His mum Gina said that I would never get him to make anything so I took photos to prove that he did it!  This has been put away and will be sent up to Newcastle for mother's day.
 
  

 

The next couple of pics are from a little workshop I did for my Nan, some friends and family members. The first is a card we made and the second is a 'pop up' chocolate that I CASED from something Amanda showed us at our team meeting in december.  It's also something that I will be using for my easter classes!

 
  
 

The pictures below are my entry to this weeks Inspiring Inkin' Challenge.  You have to make a box and some cards to go in it.  I used some of the mellow moss dsp from the hostess paper pack to make the box and 3 vanilla love notes for the cards.  I made 2 very simple little cards and a mini easel card.  Sorry abut the quality of the pictures!

 
  
  
  
  

The last photo is related to my other job. I work at an after school club called the Hedgehogs.  We wanted to start a good behavior reward system. When the children do a good deed or are exceptionally well behaved they get a hedgehog stamp on their name card, once they get to 10 stamps they get to wear the hedgehog 'medal' for the day and also receive a little prize (notebook/pen or sweets).  I was searching for ideas for the 'medal' when I remembered the Fun & Fast Notes set! Below is what I created and the kids loved it! The only problem was that the circle punch that fits in the scallop circle was slightly smaller than the hedgehog image so the butterfly had to go! :(

 
Hope you haven't fallen asleep after looking at all of these photos!
Happy Crafting
