Hi everyone,

Just letting you know about my latest project.
It's for Lavinia stamps, using their gorgeous fairies.
Is it a card or a gift??  well there's one thing it is and that's different.  The main feature is that is has a cute 3D image inside and is stored in its very own special box. 

The tutorials are up on my you tube channel so you can have a go at making your own.

But 1st I'll show you the photos........

Hope you all like it.  But don't foget to look at the videoTutorials.  My you tube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/hannahjulienigel?feature=mhee
Have a good crafty day.

Hi everyone,

Had a busy week crafting this week.  Lots to do for Lavinia and crafty Individuals.  Have a look at the vintage mini I have just completed on my last post. 
Work has been mad, people off sick and a whole shop to move around for new season.  I seem to be shattered all the time. 

Took a break on sunday to go to a lovely local craft show where all the crafts are judged, a bit like at a fate.  I went with my friend Fab friend Chris and we didn't stop chatting all day had the most wonderful biggest slice of homemade coffee and walnut cake  I have ever eaten (this is the yearly ritual at this show,  but I'm sure the slices were even bigger than usual!!!)  There are such a lot of quality crafts there and old fashioned ones and the people are always so friendly, we have a chat to them all about their wonderful talents.  Thanks Chris for a brill day.

Went to photogragh a HUGE field of poppies my partner had spotted on his travels around Dorset.  It was an amazing site. Here are a couple of my photos.....

I know my head look a bit funny but I forgot I had my glasses perched on top of it!!!

So to my work desk...

Doing a project for Lavina stamps which I will post soon.  If I can get some energy from some where to finish it!!!

Off to Julia's site to look at some desks now while I have a cuppa,

Have a great  week.

Hi everyone,

Well it's sunday morning and the sun is out.....have all Brit's forgotten what the sun actually looks like...it's been so long!!!!

I have just made another mini in a box for a work mate who has a 21st birthday this week.  I thought that it would be great to pop in some photos of her day.  These little albums are so quick to make and real fun,  a sort of little gift and card at the same time.  I added her name and packed it up in a cello  card bag and put on some ribbon and a tag, it looked so cute.
 
I've entered it into the Sir stampalot monthly challenge.  Have a go with what you are creating just now. My you tube tutorial for the mini in a box can be found here

Here are the pictures...

Hi crafty people,

Here is the first project I've made with the crafty indiviuals bits that Jean and Malcom kindly sent me. I though the people and places pad full of images just lent itself to the mini in a box....so here it is.

If you want to have a go at one yourself the tuturial is up on my you tube channel  

Hi there,

Hope you have all had a great crafty week.

I have been very busy this past week and didn't manage to do a WOYWW last week. So i'm visiting julia's http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/ site today to catch up. 

My new job has been very busy indeed and I helped my daughter move (lots of packing and cleaning for 3 days!). I also visited the Newbury craft show with my friend Chris and bought lots of crafting goodies, just need some energy now to get going and use them. Got so tired that I had Monday off ( yes even from crating!!) just watched films and ate chocolate, a wonderful pick me up!

I also have some news  Malcolm and Jean from crafty Individuals are sending me some goodies so I can use them on some of my tutorials.  These stamps are one of my favourites and it will be great to show them to you all.  I love them because they give such a good finished image and they have lots of vintage images that are beautiful.  Here's a link to the site http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk 

Now I'm off to look at some of your work....
