Crafty Kayes Room

Ron and I have recently finished building this miniature house for a friend so I thought I would share a couple  of photos with you to finish off the month. Thank you for visiting my blog this week. Enjoy your weekend. 

A friend had been invited to a bridal shower and was asked to bring along a recipe and my task was to come up with something to present the recipe in. I made up the folder below and decorated the front using Ruby Rocket Cook papers I added some embellished card to the inside and two pockets , one for the recipe and the other, I used to hold some miniature utensils. I would like to add this card to the following Challenge: Divas by Design

My next card was for an 80th birthday. I am  really n love with box cards at the moment so when I was given the choice of what to make, well the choice was easy. I used a basic card in a box from Cutting Café, cut it on the Zing and then made up my own flowers from Spellbinders dies. 

I was also asked to make a card for a couple moving into their new home. I \made a house shaped card and embossed the front to look like bricks, added affront door which opens to reveal a key and a greeting and embellished with alphas and a pot of flower soft flowers I would like to add this card to the following challenge: Scrappy Hands  

 I was recently asked to make a wedding card for a friends niece. I thought, as it had to travel quite a distance, that a matching box would be a good idea I made an easel card using a combination of Spellbinders, Grand Calibur, Cheery Lyn and Memory Box dies as well as a Doodey greeting sticker.   I would like to add this card to the following challenge:   Scribble and Scrap
