Origami Shirt

I used to make origami shirts ages ago but forgot how to do it. I have now found a new set of instructions which makes a bigger, but in my opinion, better shirt.

Floppy Disk Notebooks

At last a practical use for all those unwanted & unloved floppy disks we all have lying about at the back of a drawer. They are just the perfect size to make a useful & unique little notebook. An ideal gift for a computer geek, or a nostalgic one for those of us of a certain age who remember using floppy disks.

Although this is called ‘Dare to be Different 2′ this was my original, & I still think the best version.

New Years Resolution

One of my New Years Resolutions was to make birthday cards for friends / family birthdays & send them ON TIME. So far, so good with these first 2. I am really into patchwork cards at the moment as it uses up all the little bits of paper I can’t bear to throw away. Also it’s great fun going through my paper stash & matching up the pieces.

Happy Birthday to Gu

When I saw this picture on a box of particulary yummy chocolate puddings I immediately thought it would look good on a card. A good excuse to eat more chocolate pudding!

This Sizzix original snowman die is still one of my favourites. I use it a lot for ‘first Christmas cards. It can also be made to look masculine or feminine simply by changing the background & colour of accessories. The sewn-on buttons add to the character.
