Sale a Bration Saturday
This week I've been playing with the Newly released Sale a Bration products (which can be found in the side bar). I really enjoyed playing with the Vellum Paper stack and created these two cards using different techniques. For this first card I used my Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Marker to colour the flowers from behind and then using mini brads fixed this to a piece of Blushing Bride card stock. With the Butterfly Vellum I decided that I would dig out my...

Masculine Monday’s and Creative Blog Hop
This week I have been nominated by my crafty friend Charlie to take part in The Creative Blog Hop. For this weeks Masculine Monday's post I decided that I would share with you a masculine thinking of you card as I seem to make them on the feminine side. I've used a mixture of both sponges and daubers, when you look closer at the card it gives an appearance of different textures, for the sand and the sea (not sure if it shows up here on the photograph)....
Scrapbookin’ On Sunday
Well who would have thought it?? I enjoyed playing again with this weeks sketch from over at Paper Craft Crew (PCCCS#134) so much that when I started designing my scrapbook layouts for next months class kit I found myself using their sketch for one of the layout's. I really enjoyed playing with these papers!!! But I did have to sit and stroke them a few times before cutting in to them........that's why I love that we get to of each design in each pack..LOL So why not come...

Bokeh Technique
I'm just loving this technique that I had heard about from Michelle when I went to Leadership, having watched a couple of you tube video's I thought I would give the "dry" version a try.... I was really pleased with the results. I demonstrated this at my Spring Craft Day last week and the ladies loved it. When I caught up with Michelle last week she still had got around to trying out the technique so I gave her a quick demo ......at the same time we happened to be Skyping with Pam in the...
Masculine Monday’s
Oppsy did any one spot last weeks bloomer?? Hopefully my new filing system works...LOL Today's card is a fun one using both the From the Herd and Wood You be Mine? stamp sets.
