Howl- o-ween Treat when I first saw the this stamp set I knew it had to be the first item in my shopping basket on Ppre-order and it was!! along with the matching dies and what's even better is that they are available as a bundle so you get a 15% saving......

I'm treating myself to a day of crafting tomorrow, I want to play with my new goodies which will...
Masculine Monday’s

For today's Masculine Monday's post I'd like to share with you a card that I "Cased" form a recent swap I saw, it uses the Boy's will be Boys stamp set.

Last weekend whilst I was away I got to play with textured paste again.....so I decided that I would incorporate it in this months class, I chose the Pretty Petals Designer Paper Stack this use in this month kit. To give the layout some depth I used a variety of embossing folders and stamp sets with both tone on tone or versa mark ink. I loved getting messy, so can see more layouts using a variety of techniques coming soon. Next month we are using the English Garden...

As the saying goes better late than never..... Here's a quick card I made the other evening whilst I was playing with the No Bones About It stamp set. I quickly gave it to my uncle and ran....... The Alphabet Rotary Stamp is fab a you get that type written effect and I've used it on a few scrapbooks recently and wondered what it would be like on a card and I love it. Happy Craftin' Sue

Inspire, Create and Share
For July's hosted swap I set the theme as Wedding/Anniversary as I had to make a wedding card for Becky and Aaron (who's invitations I made at the beginning of the year) and wanted to use their wedding theme. I just love the way that we all come up with different ideas, especially when a couple of us even chose the same stamp set with out even knowing. I can't wait to see what they create for August's theme which was "Watercolour" I know what I'm doing.......I made a sample...
Festive Friday’s

Masculine Monday’s
This weeks Masculine Monday is aimed at the younger men in our lives.......but I suspect a few of the older ones will admit they still like to play with this!!! This is a quick card I made up the other evening for a colleague at work, who asked me to make a "lego" card for her son who's birthday was in 2 days time - evidently it was met with squeals off delight. Next week I'll be sharing some cards I've made using the new dinosaur stamp set "No Bones About it" until then, Happy Stampin'...

This first layout also uses the Tree Punch, when I asked my ladies to bring their tree punch they were a little perplexed as to how I was going to incorporate it but where very pleased with the result. I've set my self a little challenge and that's to ensure...
