Mobile Moby
I've got something a bit different to share with you today. It's a decorative mobile featuring Moby Dick!
I cut out the little Memory Box Wonderful Whale several times, and coloured him in different shades of blues and greys before adding some googly eyes to each one.
I then cut out some other bits that I thought matched the sea life scene. Each element can be stuck back-to-back sandwiching the string in between in order to to hang them onto the mobile.
The starfish are actually 5 point stars (Memory Box Precious Stars) with the corners rounded, and some white gel pen dashes for the 'seams'. But I can see in the second photo that I missed the gel pen decoration on one starfish. The seaweed bits are various leaves.
The hardest part of this project was actually taking the photos. I took loads but on most versions at least one of the whales were sideways on, so they looked a bit skinny and you couldn't see the eyes!
These were the best two photos, and even then, they're not that great. You might need to use your imagination a bit!!!
These little Memory Box Wonderful Whales are actually on sale at The Stamp Basket at the moment, so grab them while they're on offer. There's nothing fishy about these prices!! *Groan*.
I'll get my coat!
As a little footnote, I decided that it probably was more a decoration than something suitable for a young child. Some of the pieces are quite small and could easily be pulled off by little fingers and popped into small mouths. But it was lovely to make and actually quite therapeutic to look at with all the little pieces twirling around. It's a bit like watching flames on a candle! So like candles, this one's perhaps for grown-ups only! :0)
Happy crafting

Mountain Lily
My card for The Stamp Basket today features a cute little Wee Stamps image called Mountain Lily. I managed to mess up the main image, so I "fussy cut" her out again and layered her on top of my main image on foam pads which actually gave the card more dimension. Considering it was a mistake, it didn't turn out too bad.

Sleeping on the Moon
Today's card features a cute little sleeping baby on the moon, and I've used a sentiment that I thought matches the image which says 'Believe in your dreams'!
The gorgeous papers are Wild Rose Studio from The Stamp Basket, who currently have a summer sale on at the moment. The aqua ribbon matches the papers really beautifully, and I also found a bit of really narrow dark purple ribbon which I think was snipped off from the inside shoulder of a dress (you know the loops that are meant to hold it on a clothes hanger, but all they do is poke out the neckline when you're wearing it).
I've sneaked in a couple of precious stars which I thought matched the hanging star on the image. A few flowers and of course some pearls, and that's it. Voilà!

Bunny with Flowers
It's Annette back with you today with my Saturday project for The Stamp Basket, and I've got something a bit different to share, because it's not a card. I've made a door hanger in some lovely pinks, and of course some gorgeous dies!
The hanger is a large piece of chipboard and I've threaded some ribbon through holes at the top to hang it by. I used some really teeny circle dies to make some re-inforcers for the holes. The sentiment is typed in Word in white text with a purple background, and then cut out with my Bistro Label die.
The gorgeous floral papers are from Docrafts Country Companions and are glossy, so they have a lovely sheen. I've colour co-ordinated my die cuts with the purple accents on the die cuts for a pink and purple theme.
