Hello and welcome to May’s Show and Tell

grab a cuppa and be inspired by the girls creations this month

there are some fabulous projects here, all relating to Mothers Day- yes its our big day on Sunday, where we get to sit back, relax and be showered with love (and gifts) …………………….

first up is Lou with a beautiful, serene layout using a small angel wing and a matching blue heart as a flower centre

Mardi is next with this great layout (and a reminder to get ourselves out in front of that camera when we can!!)

Crafty Matters bisque button painted red, and a couple of word tiles that Mardi loves to use

Heres my LO for the month- my dear darling first born arrived 10 days past her due date, so i missed mothers day by a couple of days! (and then my first ‘official’ mothers day the next year was spent in bed with a baaaad dose of gastro LOL )

Ive used Crafty Matters flowers here , in some new colours- these are gorgeous glazes called Ocean Mist, Blueberry Spice and Grape Spice. The centres are thickers dots- an idea courtesy of Belinda Venables- thanks Belinda

Charmane has created this gorgeous mini canvas- one of a set she has made - to give to her Mum,   grandmas and  step-mum

and a layout using a Crafty Matters heart……

Vitas project this month are seedling boxes, although they can be used as a gift box for anything, not just plants.

here is what she did-
The template is a hot-chip take-away box with the top/lid cut off. The small one fits 12×12 papers perfectly.
It’s so easy to make, she made these 3 easily.

Just wrap the pressie in a celo bag then put it into the box.

The hardest bit is actually potting the herbs.

The Crafty Matters glazed flowers have been used on the 1st box, and a bisque button and glazed leaves on the last box

The middle box has a bisque scallop plaque- the little “for you” is a print out, glued on the ceramic then glazed.
Vita made it in Photoshop and The bird is a brush by Katie Pertiet.

you could also do this using stamps as an alternative

i think i need to go and buy myself some hot chips now LOL……………….

well, thats it for another month- stay tuned for June- our birthday month-

till then

cheers
