Good Luck………

For this week's Masculine Monday's post I'm sharing with you a card that I was as to make for someone who worked with Amy and was leaving for ventures new. It show cases the Four Feathers stamp set and matching framelits that I was lucky enough to receive in prize patrol at convention last year.  I can ensure you its not the first time I've used it. The sentiment is computer generated. I've used one of the 2013-2015 Incolours - Baked Brown Sugar, remember that this collection...

Just a quick post today as I've had a really hectic weekend and didn't want to disappoint you by missing a today's Masculine Monday's Post.

If you would like to place an order, please...

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday

Here is the last page from last months club kit, which uses most of the elements from the Artisan Embellishments Kit as well. I'm also cheating a little bit as although its on a whisper white 12 x 12 card base this is also one of Stampin' Up!s Varitey Page Protectors for the Project Life range of cards.  Which is my challenge for a group of fellow demonstrators to complete either using Project Life Cards or DSP like I have. Our Pinterest Board can be found here. Why don't you...

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday

Sorry this post is a little later than usual but I've been busy helping my uncle with his gardening and in return he cooked us a lovely liver and bacon casserole (one of mine and Frank's favourite dishes)  after we spent a leisurely hour in the hot tub......bliss. Here is another layout from last months kit. I've stamped and heat embossed the swallowtail butterfly in early espresso, before layering a rose red butterfly from the new thinlits collection over it. I've also used the new hand...
