1/4" circle punch - for the eye;
1/2" circle punch- cut in half for the feet;
5-petal flower- cut off one petal for the beak.
Card stock:

I also used:champagne mist to highlight the black card stock.

Stampin' Up! Catalogue link

Just to let you all know I have now placed a link on the side bar of my blog to the current Stampin' Up catalogues. I will be posting an e-mail address which will enable you to place an order with me.
I have spent most of the day creating, I am still playing around with the Fox and Friends stamp set! I have also been creating some punch art with the Stampin' Up! punches. I am still amazed what you can make from a few small scraps of paper. I will be sharing some of these tomorrow.

Stampin' Up! Fox and Friends

I love this new stamp set from the mini catalogue (117020 page12).

I stamped a whole sheet of whisper white with the stamp set and then cut it up to the sizes I needed.

Stampin' Up! Pencil pot holder

I went to the shops today and once again came back with what I didn't need. Sainsbury's had a Sale on these pencils with a holder ( just 50p) . Needless to say I bought the lot!
I used paper that has retired from the 2008-2009 catalogue. It made me realise if there is something you really like you should get it before it is gone for good. I scalloped Pixie in Pink card stock with the scalloped border punch and placed it around the top and the bottom of the container. I punched out three scalloped circles and fluffed them up to provide a little more dimension. 3/4" and the 1/4" circle punches were used for the centre of the flower. I finished if off with 1/4" striped Grosgrain Pumpkin Pie ribbon tied in a bow around the whole thing.

Stampin' Up! Post it note holder

These Post it note holders were made using Stampin' Up! products (apart from the googly eyes).

Craft fair

As promised here are the pictures of our stall. The takings weren't great but the sun was out and I enjoyed the morning.

Some exciting news!

I am now a Stampin' Up demonstrator. Over the next few weeks I will put links up to the catalogues etc.
I have done loads of crafting and I will be sharing it with you all soon. My sister and I are running a craft stall in a local community centre tomorrow so we have been VERY busy. I have done so much crafting I have what I am going to term as crafters neck! I am so stiff from leaning over my desk/working on the floor I have managed to hurt my neck/back. I will put up some pictures of our stall tomorrow.

For now here are a couple of the little Easter bags I made for my family 20 in total. 

This idea was a Stampin' Up!party I went to. Thank you Amanda!
