Birthday Card and A Bit Of Beading

Here's a couple of recently completed crafty projects.  First up is a birthday card I made for my friend:

Please excuse the poor photos.  They were taken in my kitchen after it had gone dark (roll on summer!)

Ingredients:

Dies: Cuttlebug butterfly and alphabet; Sizzix ticket: Nestabilities circle and scalloped circle.

Felt and button from Paper and String

Mini bulldog clip from Wilkinsons

Ribbon, flower and brad from stash

Papermania birthday stamp

Papers from GCD studios (Homespun Chic)

I've also done a tiny bit of beading and made a couple of these:

One has gone to a fellow crafter/blogger and mine is going to be attached to my camera bag.

As well as making camera themed charms I have been using my real camera and keeping up with my project 365, although I am a bit behind with updating my 365 blog!  I must admit its a bit of a struggle to get pictures with the dark evenings but I'm hanging in there (and learning a lot about using flash). 

Yesterday I got the chance to get out and about with my camera and I went for a walk with a friend and her very cute dog.  Despite thick fog and frost I managed to get a few reasonable shots.  My favourite, and therefore my 365 for yesterday is this one:

Thanks for looking,
