Hello I hope you are well. This month's wreath was inspired by the changing season. Despite the warm weather nature continues on with its plan. Leaves changing and nuts and conkers littering the paths. Warm afternoons and chilly evenings. Cardigans and jackets see me wanting to pick up the crochet hock. I found some really lovely wool in this moss green which I just knew I wanted to turn in a wreath base. I really like this base so I didn't want to cover it to much. I made a few simple leaves an acorn and some flowers. You can find lots of leafs and flower patterns online. Despite being able to follow patterns I am happy to have a go at making my own. I think the more crochet you do the more your confidence grows but thankfully you will always find free patterns online. I have for last few wreaths I have used a hot glue gun to stick the pieces in place. I had real fun with this wreath and I'm really excited to start October's wreath which has to be halloween themed.
I'm hosting Halloween this year and I am really hoping to get some craft projects done for Halloween especially with my youngest. Thank you for reading my blog, I can't believe I have nearly completed my challenge if a wreath each month. Wow. Take care everyone xx

Hello and welcome back. Today's blog is about my planner. I love the idea of using my planner to help me stay on track, plan my business and keep my finances in check. I am still using my paper chase A 5 planner but inside I'm using the reset girl pages from carpe diem. Which happen to be great as they are autumnal colours. I wanted to use up from scraps from my stash and I knew my paper mania tales from Wilson wood a4 paper pack would be perfect for my planner as the colours and patterns are autumnal. In the page bellow you can see I have made some trees with apples in made using the Stampin up tree builder punch. I cut the squirrel and the September tag using my silhouette cameo. The silhouette store is full of really fun autumn designs. I used some boarder strips and some little pop out squeezes from the willson wood collection. i also cut some leafs using an X cut leaf die with some wood coloured paper. To the page bellow have added a cut out leaf made using my silhouette and this time I have stamped some images from some ali express coffee stamps. Some stampin up craft stamps. I have a paper clip with a to do list from the willson wood collection. I have a £5 subscription to the silhouette store so I buy lots of cutting files. You actually get £15 worth of credit to use so it's worth it. This month I purchased this really great pumpkin and coffee file look at the little beans. I love It. This page feels a bit un finished but i may add more to it yet. The jar die is from ali express I was hoping it would look like it was full of leafs with this paper. This page takes full advantage of the paper pack. You always get these nice little lined elements which I'm never really sure what to do with these but they are perfect for little planner lists. A bit of a coffee theme do you think. I cut It out from the silhouette along with the glitter boarders which look great. I did add the coffee beans which were stamped using some coffee themed stamps from ali express. So that's a start on my planner. Allowing myself an hour or two to do some paper craft makes me happy and encourages me to use my planner.
I really want to make some fun planner accessories so look out for that. I have also done a little ali express order to bring you soon. As always thanks for taking the time out to read my blog and I hope it inspires you to take up some paper craft. |
