Treasures

Sometimes I say I'm an old sole, because of my love for treasure's from the past.
I worry about the generations to come, will they appreciate what was before their time, and how did our technology get to where we are now.
So here is a little reminder of our Treasure's from the past,

 A multi layered card made from Acetate and the new Graphic45 papers to match the Machine

A little gift box which matches the card.

Challenge 149

Wow Sunday already and here we have another challenge over at Magnolia Down Under
We would like to see Double
Use 2 of the same thing, Image, Button, Ribbons etc
On my card I have used two Doo hickey  flowers on two peach paper flowers combined with two punched butterflies what I did notice is I forgot to put my bling in the flowers before I took my picture so imagine it has some bling in there.
Here is my card I have used Graphic 45 papers this time

having trouble this time of the year with natural light  even my favorite spot seems a little dark

My Quilt

I have been busy trying to get ahead my aim is to finish some projects that I have started, so far I have done very well and am feeling a little positive, as my quilt was started at least three years ago.
next on my list was to paint my bathroom yeah and that is finally done, my next job is to paint the rumpus room not sure when I will get to that soon I hope.
so here is some pics of my quilt don't look to close as I'm not what I call a Quilter but I'm fairly pleased with the end result the center was embroidered on my embroidery machine hours and hours of watching a needle go up and down.I spent a lot of years embroidering in some way until I found my paper craft, and designing.

  a few threads need to be cut

I also have something else to share, last Friday night I went up to the study to cut from my doily die, on my big kick, which is basically is a big shot. We heard a big bang and I knew straight away I had done some damage to my machine.
 Saturday my husband and I pulled it apart and found that I had cracked the metal near the handle, so to keep me going until I get a replacement we Steampunked as we called it, the fact that it looked funny was what kept my spirits up.

the blue thing is a G clamp has done the job, I actually like the look of it without its casing.
