Feeling inspired

I have had quite a creative few days spurred on by my desire to get rid of the silly amount of card making embellishments I have accumulated over the last 6 years!

Me, addicted to fabric flowers, never!!

I have made loads of fabric flowers over the last few weeks, 9 for the headbands for Big E's party, loads for a valentines door hanger (which I will show you once it stops blowing a gale and I can get it up on the front door) and these few that have no home yet!  I think the small blue ones will...

Photos

I am a total photo editing novice but I have photofiltre on the computer and have been playing: Kid's tea party (which resulted in a rather large puddle of water on the dining room floor!) I didn't realise what kind of cool things you can do, this could become addictive! Forth Rail Bridge Sky...
