This is my favourite photo of my daughters Amy, Heidi and Lucy and I just couldn't resist scrapping it again this time for one of their albums. The stamps used for the back ground are from The Open Sea and Creative Elements set and the shapes are cut from the Comfort Cafe DSP using one of the shapes from the Apothecary Accents Framelits collection. I chose The Open Sea set as it went with the scenery behind the girls - Portmouth...
Lovely as a Tree Christmas Card
Opps a daisy missed a post yesterday!! and I can blame that on the car as it broke down whilst I was out getting a few prezzie's and I had to wait 2 hours for the lovely RAC man to help me. Today's post is a card that I made back in October, which I thought I had shared with you before but having looked back I haven't so here it is.......... It uses both the Lovely as a Tree and Curly Cute stamp sets. I have also used Stampin' Up!s new pricking tool and one of the...
Quick Gift Bag
It's nice to be able to use your paper crafting supplies for creating some beautiful presentation packaging for your gifts. Whether it's homemade cookies for the neighbours, nail polish or lip gloss for your friends, or fun treats for your children, this little bag is the perfect size for a thoughtful gift. I'm loving the latest In Colour collection from Stampin' Up! especially this Gumball Green 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon. Other supplies used for this project...
Petite Purse
Phew not only did I manage to make up the Santa boxes for my friends Childminding group, sure is going to be fun today helping them to decorate them. Whilst I had my big shot out I thought I would make up my own gift boxes ready for Christmas Day dinner. Last year I made little Santa's using the Pillow Box Die so I thought that I would do something different this year and I decided as we have 3 daughters I would make up some elegant purses using the Petite Purse Bigz L Die. Here I have used up...
Ornament Keepsake Card
Today I am going to share with you a Christmas card that I received this week from one of my lovely downline - Melanie. Melanie has used the Ornament Keepsakes stampset and matching Framelits along with the Window Frames collection from the Autum/Winter catalogue. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments punched out using the Word Window punch and then mounted on cardstock punched out using the Modern Label Punch. I love the way she has given the illusion of using a layer of...

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday
At Scrapbook Club this week we made 2 Mini albums and did one Scrapbook layout, here are the pictures of two of the projects using the Twitterpated DSP and co-ordinating cardstock. Here I have used the Boho Blossom Punch to make a wreath of flowers around the word JOY on the Labels framelits. This Mini album unfolds and you use enevelopes for the flaps, this allows you to add photos in the middle so potential you can display 22 Photo's in this Album. On this layout I have used the...
Frosty Friends Gifts
I don't know about you but I love candles especially in the winter months..........here are a couple that I have decorated using those cute snowmen from "Frosty Friends" they are coloured in using the Stampin Write Markers. The Sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo and is from the Seasonal Greetings Set. When I first was shown how to do this I was truly amazed at how simple it was and so are the ladies who attend my classes and have tried this technique. As you can use any stamp, it...

I thought I would share with you a non Christmas card or gift, that I made for one of my team last month.

You Can’t Catch Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I'm going to share with you a quick card made using the Gingerbread Man from the Scentsational Season stamp set. I'm not sure if you can see it in the photo but I have stamped the "steam" on the base before adding some paper from the Snow Festival Series. Using some Bakers Twine I added the sentiment from the Tiny Tags stamp set punched with its matching punch, along with the Gingerbread Man.
