For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsScrapbookin’ On Sunday
I can't believe Sunday has come around again so quickly!! Yesterday I spent the morning packing the kits for this weeks Scrapbook Club using the Afternoon Daydream Scrapbookin' Kit. For my layouts I have been using photographs from last year's Stampin' Up! convention. So whilst I had the photo's out I decided that I would do a couple of more layouts making use of the little bits that I had left over. As well as using the left over's up I used the outer cover from the program...

Happy WOYWW!! and another week of desk hopping, if you want to play along pop on over here Today my desk, is ever so tidy as I have just finished some invites for my friend Louise, as her 3 children's birthday's are all close together they're having a joint party.

Best of Flowers
Today I am going to share with you a card that ladies in an upcoming class will be making using the "Hydrangea" flower from the Best of Flowers stamp set. Which they will be colour in using Stampin' Up!s blender pens. It also uses Designer Series Paper from the Poetry Print Paper Stack, which is only available to order until the end of June. I didn't stamp a sentiment to my card as I want the ladies to choose their own, as they may have an occasion or person in mind for the...

Best of Flowers
As promised I'm back with another card from new Best of Flowers Stamp Set - the only challenge I'm having is going to be find time to make cards with the ideas that are buzzing round my head! Today I am going to share a quick card featuring the gorgeous Hydrangea image from the set. The paper I have used is from the Twitterpated collection which is on the retirement list with a 50% discount. I know I'm going to miss these papers. If you would like to order...
Just Believe Tri-Fold Shutter Card
Friday night I was frantically making a 50th Birthday card for Frank as usual he gave me plenty of notice as he needed it for Saturday.... and I was going out all day and wouldn't see him. I decided that I would make a Tri-Fold Shutter Card, I chose some DSP from the Floral District collection, along with the Memorable Moments and Just Believe stamp sets. Using my Stampm-a-Jig, I postioned the word and numbers from the Memorable Moments stamp set were I wanted them on the piece of...
Best of ………..
As I promised on Saturday I am back to share with you a card that I have made using one of the stamps from this months "Best of Flowers" collection from Stampin' Up! Here I have used one of the background techniques that I am teaching at my upcoming Saturday Special class (details can be found here) before stamping the image. I decorated the inside of the card as the sentiment I chose to use is one of a pair from the One in a Million stamp set. Now I am off to play with the...
Scrapbookin’ On Sunday
Today I'm going to share with you two of pages that I made with May's Scrapbook Club's Kit, which consisted of half a packet of the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper* and coordinating card stock and accessories. As one of the pieces of paper had a lovely image of the Eiffel Tower on it I decided that I wanted to make a feature of that as I had some photo's that I hadn't scrapped yet dating back to 2001 when I went to Paris with my good friend Philly. This layout...

WOYWW # 207
I have missed WOYWW for a couple of weeks as I haven't been too well as you can see from the mess on my desk it's more like a dumping ground at the moment. On the left hand side you can see one of the two wedding cards that I have been making over the past week, for some unknown reason there happens to be a pack of cake cases put on there along with my favourite crafting snacks "kit kat" and I can assure that they wouldn't be there if I was 100% better. At the back of the table is a nice vase...
