    I used to do paper crafting, a lot using photographs, cards and framed pictures etc. Here are a few personal ones I've just dug out from my puter.

    Mother's Day card using my dad and step-mum's photo:

                Thanks Jenny :smile: yes I think so too.

                I very nearly lost that photo. I had it in my handbag, planning to have it enlarged and copies made for myself, my dad, my sister & brother - and my bag was snatched when I worked in Cheetham Hill many years ago :yikes:

                Eventually I had a call from the police saying my bag had been found and brought into the station and that it had been found on waste ground behind the Jewish Museum so we went along and rummaged around in the undergrowth and found various bits and pieces the thief had just thrown away.....and this tiny photo of my mum was there, in the grass, so she was recovered with only a tiny rip in one corner to show for her "adventure" :wub2:

                    Thanks @Sheal, yeah those memory boxes are great for putting any treasures in along with your photos :blue thumb:. My other grandad had a harmonica that I'd have liked to use but can I track the bloomin thing down anywhere? :wallbanging:

                          Just finished my mates xmas prezzie and this is the only place i can post it where she wont see

                          She bought her first home with her bf recently which is a caravan and thought i wld make something for it

                          So i have made this star cushion because she is a star and thought it wld be a bit of fun. One side is pinks and purples and oranges and the other side is greens and blues so hopefully will either match or contrast with whatever colour scheme she eventually chooses
