More tattered lace play time

Evening everyone! 

It's half way through the holiday already, where is this week going? I would like to say that my new half term resolution will be to find more of a work life balance so I can craft more, but I don't realistically see it happening! :-( Still, I'll make the most of it while I can! 

Here I have used a yellow centura pearl as the backing with First edition paper on top.  I then used Tattered lace border dies and the tattered lace oriental fan for the topper.  Both were die cut again using First Edition (Blank Canvas collection).  The happy birthday sentiment is also Tattered lace. 

I finished off with some pretty beads I got from the warehouse sale at the weekend. 

Not long now till the NEC, I'm hoping I can take a day off to go and spend a few pennies! :-) 

Hugs! xxx

Finally some crafting time!

Hi everyone!!!

So it's that time of year again when I am on holiday and can actually craft! Hooray!!!
Treated myself at the Tattered lace /my craft studio warehouse on Saturday to some lovely new dies, so decided to have a play today!

I have used Papermania for the backing, then Centura Pearl for the white dies.  

The shape in the middle is Sizzix with my new Tattered Lace piano on top. 

The musical notes and the treble clef are Memory Box dies.  

The sentiment is a die from Joanna Sheen. 

I thought it was quite a versatile die, can be used for any gender and - more specifically - all those music lovers out there! 

As I am a piano player myself I am particularly fond of it!!!

Happy crafting everyone! And here's for some nicer weather! xxx
