Picture heavy post

Thought I should finally get these up-loaded, all the cards I have made over the last few weeks,

First up is a couple of xmas cards, I,m really trying to get as many done before the last minute rush.




I love the felt flowers they really make a huge difference to the look of a card.

I,m not sure where I got this colour scheme from, choc chip and temping turquoise but I like it, This stamp from the Fresh cuts set is so easy to use and really fills the card so you dont need much else for a lovely card, just a length of ribbon and your done.



This was me playing around with my brayer I used a circle punch and a post it note to mask the moon, was,nt the best or neatest but seemed a shame to waste it so stamped the cute characters from Forest Friends set and cut them out, then layered them on, will have to practice a bit more.



I finally got my white embossing powder and though the Baroque Motif large scroll was a perfect starting point, again not my best card a few specks of powder stuck to other areas of my base and you can see them, but who says every card has to be perfect. Just added some more flowers with brads and it finished it off nicely.


I have finally done some scrapbooking and will get the photos on her tomorrow just need to find my camera lead, how I loose it every time must say something about my cleaning up routine...

Truly Scrumptious Challenge

A quick post to show my entry for The Truly Scrumptious challenge this week there was a sketch to follow and you had to use a minimum of 3 stamps not including the sentiment.
I have had these stamps since the beginning of school break but not inked them till today, she is so cute, might make some more in brighter colours. Hope you like her.


Catch Up.

Hi all, I cant believe its been so long since I last blogged, its over a month, how naughty I knew I would,nt stick to my plan. Its been such a busy time, the kids going back to school, my birthday, our wedding anniversary, so all in all not had much time to get on here. Thought it was time I made the effort, I have been creating just not as much as I would like.

First is the card I made for my lovely husband, I cant believe its been three years already, they do say time flies when your having fun.






I have some great news the new catalogue from Stampin Up' is out on the 1st of October, I already have my excited hands on a copy and its even better than last years, so many new products I can see me spending a lot. We were lucky to be able to order some new stamp sets that feature in the catalogue and I have used my new favourite set Circle Circus to make a few sneak peeks at it.




I,m loving it and have lots of ideas for the set, its great for so many occasions and I,ve already made a scrap book page with it, which I must photograph so I can share it with you.
I,m off to work now so will be back tomorrow with lots more pics of what I,ve been up too.
