Welcome to the Blog
For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsPhew…… half term is over!!
Sorry haven't been around to post much on my blog but you know how hectic it gets in school holidays especially when daddy is on holiday too!!!!!!!!It was great to pop down and see Amy at Uni and stock her cupboards up for her........ what are parents for?? Heidi talked me into getting Just Dance boy does it take me back in time... something for us to do together is how she sold it to me......I did find some time to craft, I havent played with my promarkers for ages so decided to dig out one...
Well what can I say about the week my girls have had ......... On Monday Heidi was given an Orange for her birthday by Simon Cowell, Thursday Amy went clubbing and rubbed shoulders with Sisquo and to top that Lucy served DizzyRascal his dinner at Nando's yesterday!! I'm not sure which one to be more envious off.......and what I have been up to but keeping myself busy with housework (sorry to swear ladies) and catching up with a few card orders that I had, as well as making a RSVP for my friend...
love is in the air………day 4
Here I decided to mask the large "love" stamp and added a plain Rhinestone brad to the centre of the flower, to get a washed out effect I have used Stampin' Up!s Blender pens with Pretty in Pink Ink.Again I have used the Heart O'Plenty roller to create the background along with some designer paper from my stash.

Something different today using Stampin' Up! s Love You Much set.......I just love this technique. Perfect for that romantic meal!!!
love is in the air………day 2
Here I've also used the Heart O'Plenty roller on the middle strip of cardstock. Apart from the button all the other items are from Stampin' Up!
Love is in the air………
Sunday I set about making some Valentines cards to sell ...... yes a bit late but you never know someone may still need get one !!!so over the next couple of days I'll upload a few that I have made using Stampin' Up!s Love You Much set which is gorgeous. Whilst I get busy for my next workshop which is next week.This card I cased from a class that I did a Shaz's, I subsituted the ribbon as I don't have the real red gingham in my collection yet !! I was showing my hubby how the heart punch works...
Here are two cards made using both the Happy Moments and Vintage Labels stampsets from this years Sale~a~braiton with Stampin' Up!Both cards have been made identical apart from the gorgeous striped ribbon (also from Stampin' Up!) across the middle of the card. I prefer the one with the ribbon but my hubby can't seem to make up his mind as to which one he prefers. What do you think???

Good Neighbours
I've spent my Saturday evening playing with this stamp set "Good Neighbours" from the Sale~a~braiton flyer and couldn't seem to do anything that I was happy with so gave in and went to bed.... after chatting with my upline mummy Shaz (this morning), I somehow got some inspiration and came up with these 3 little beauties. I have so also thank Jude for the idea of using Circle Circus for the hills on the last card, when she came to play the other evening. All thes cards are made using Stampin'...
Tempted by Turquoise….
I've been itching to use this colour for ages on a card and finally got round to making this card. I inked my embossing folder to create the background, used both the large and small tag punches, Crazy for Cupcakes and sentiment from Vintage Labels (sale~a~bration) stamp sets. The Ribbon was from my stash.
