Nursery Nest….meets the Grown Up’s!
When I first told the ladies that attend my scrapbooking classes that we were going to use the Nursery Nest Designer Series Papers at our next class, they didn't seem to enthusiastic......I pointed out that I didn't have young children either and that it wouldn't be a problem to "Scrap" with them.So let me share with you two of the layouts that I showed them. This first layout is of Heidi and her friend Joel on their last day of school last year (as you can tell by the graffti on...
Amour…….
When preparing my class for this week using the Artistic Etchings stamp set, I decided that I would use this to make Frank's anniversary card and for the first time in 23years he actually forgot putting it down to his age!!! I used the luscious Mocha Morning Speciality Designer Papers and added some Taffeta Ribbon to add a splash of colour. The sentiment is punched out using a retired punch and I do miss this one. Must dash....... Thanks for stopping by Happy...
Everyday Enchantment Card
One of the things I love about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that we have the ability to get our hands on some of the products before they are avaliable to our customers, which is really handy as I had wanted to play with the ribbons from the Enchantment Pack for some time now. Despite have received these last week I wasn't able to play until today, my little creation here was made using the Sketch over a Mojo Monday MOJO248. Having matted the Crumb Cake on to Early...

Twitterpated Suite
Twitterpatted Suite, at the moment is my favourite "Suite" from Stampin' Up! and I'll be really sad to see this suite go at the end of August. This is one of the cards that was featured at my Summer Craft Day earlier this month. Using the Simply Scored Tool to make gatefold cards is really quick and easy.... as my ladies found out. They also loved the Framelit Dies too I didn't realize until I photographed all the cards together after completing them that I used...

Bright Blossoms
Today I'm sharing with you a card made with my favourite summer colour combination - Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise and the Bright Blossoms stamp set. Here's another picture taken at a fancy angle to show you the Brights Designer Buttons which I added along with some White Bakers Twine. The main focal image has been coloured and then stamped using the Stampin' write markers. The Bright Blossoms stamp set can be found on page 14 of the Summer Mini...
50 today!!!!!!!!!!
Apologises as to not posting over the past week but life has been very hectic here with preparing for Frank's 50th Birthday I wanted to really embrass him and post pictures of him and his friend Julius in their younger days all around the venue where they hosted a small party for their old school mates...... but sadly there are NO photographs apart from a group photograph of him with one of his sisters and his four brothers (which in talking with his sister we managed to age...

Bordering On Romance
Whilst I'm busy preparing for my Summer Craft Day on Saturday, I decided to take time out and play along with this weeks challenge over at Simply Stampin'. Their theme this week is Regally Royal or Jubilee a theme they have carried on from the festivities of last weekend. So here is my creation using stamps from the Bordering On Romance stamp set which can be found in the Summer Mini Catalogue and Perfect Punches and co ordinating punch. I have used the Clear Large...
Everything Eleanor
Here is a card using one of the colours I struggle to use usually Calpsyo Coral, but here it just seems right at home with these colours - Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake. I'm just loving the flourish in the Everything Eleanor stamp set at the moment and the flowers are great for cutting our and raising on dimensionals to give projects some depth. Can you spy that I've even used some ribbon, its just above the Scallop Trim Border. The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp...
