Make it Crafty - Shades of Brown

 Hello, back here again with another project from the never ending list that Zoe from Make it Crafty gave us. I picked this time – Shades of brown. I don’t think I have ever attempted one of Zoe’s houses, I must admit I did have a lot of fun. The flowers and stalk were just left over bits lying around, so I stuck some bling to jazz it up a bit.

 Here is a list of colours I used

Windows – E41, Roof – E44 & prisma Light Umber

Wood on house – E33, E35, E37, E37 & prisma Dark Brown

House trim – E08 & prisma Terra Cotta

Toadstools – E04, E71,  Flowers & Leaves – E11, E21, E25, E53, E95

Chipboard – Rustic sign, Butterfly Leaves

My girls!

Hello.. I have been busy doing some cards for an up coming catalouge, so have nothing to show for my weekend off!!! but I do have a couple photos I want to share.. first is of Cam.. the day after a swim meet.... must have knackered her out.. this was taken at 9.30 the next day... fast asleep! I love this photo of her... makes me realise how much my baby has grown.

Second photo is of Bee at a Samsung roadshow on the Olympics... she said she won a swimming medal.. mmmm maybe I will get two swimmers in the family!

Sorry about the non related craft post, but wanted to show my babies instead!
