Festive Friday’s
As promised last Friday here is another Festive card (still not used the C word yet....LOL) using the Joyful Christmas stamp set. As you can see from the photograph I have stamped the main image with Versa mark in and embossed this with clear embossing powder on to a Very Vanilla piece of card stock. Then using my Cherry Cobbler ink I sponged around the edges and image making it darker over the Poinsettia. I didn't think the colours Blushing Bride and Cherry Cobbler would go...

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday
On Wednesday I held by monthly scrapbook class - using papers from last year's catalogue (which have just retired) Retro Fresh. This layout uses one of the "starburst's" that a couple of my ladies really wanted to try out......some of the other's were very apprehensive but once they had started on it and saw it coming together they were pleasantly surprised as to how easy it was - well I had done the hard work by giving them templates and tips....... This...

What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday? WOYWW 267
Last week my desk was totally out of action until after my fridge/freezer was delivered, after a very kind neighbour came to my rescue with screwdriver and tools!! yes I need those to change over the way the doors opened, I was actually able to get some crafting done. I managed to finish this card off for my sister, who's birthday it was on Saturday. The image is one of Mo's as my sister just loves Giraffes!! and the sentiment is from one of my many Stampin' Up! sets. But back to this...

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday
Good morning, today I would like to share with you one of the layouts I was working on at a crop that I went to last weekend. I wasn't able to finish it there as I needed to print out a photograph so during the week I got it printed out and voila my layout got completed. The pictures are from my nieces wedding earlier in the year (the one i did the wedding stationery for) and the papers are from a kit that I have had laying around since 2011... I'm really trying to have a big...
Mixed Bunch and Flower Shop
This Saturday I would like to share with you a card that I made earlier in the year for a young ladies 90th Birthday. When I saw her a couple of weeks later, she told me that she had shown everyone at her Thursday club and that it took pride of place in her collection of cards.......I blushed a little saying oh it was nothing. All the items used to make this card are available to purchase apart form the DSP as this was from my stash of retired papers. Happy Stampin' Suexx
