Sunday spring cleaning...

I am not sure if it is the change in weather today
but I felt the need to do some serious Spring
cleaning, and almost got to the stage where it
looked much worse than before I started!
It was actually quite tidy before hand!

I have gutted out cupboards & there are bags now
for the charity shop, recycling, and rubbish.
I have sorted my craft room, puts spare
bits over to the playgroup, got stuff for posting.

And finished off these two cards!
I have used my distressing inks again.
Am quiet pleased with this one.
The text on the tag is the See D one
I used on todays Crafty Pad's DT card.
It is a slightly smaller card than I usually
make, but I need it to fit in a padded envelope
I have with images to be posted off.
I do love this penny black stamp.
I think I might invest in it.

This card is one I am making as a set for my sister.
The text is her favourite, so for her birthday,
I am planning to make her several cards
with this text on it for her to give away.
Well that's the plan!

The leaves are from my lovely mate Dawn.
The wee lassie is of course a sugar nellie.

I have started decorating a coffee mate tin
like the one Amanda did for me for my sister.
Pictures of that when it is finished.

I have done this image with distressing inks....
but am not so happy with the end result.
I need to edge it with the ink pad....
but dose anyone have any tips with
colouring the background, it just looks
a wee bit rough....I know thats
what distressing is.....but.....

Away to go blog hopping now....
much love
