For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsScrapbookin’ On Sunday
Usually I share with you photographs that I have scrapped with my middle daughter Amy, so I thought that is was only fair that I should share a page with you that features my eldest Lucy and youngest Heidi (if you look at their baby photo's you can't tell them apart). This was a quick page made using the Flirtatious Designer Paper, the Delicate Dolies stamp set and Boho Blossom Punch. Sorry for the short post but my arm is really hurting from the Physo I had on friday as the...
Mucky Pup…….
As you know from a couple of previous postings I just love getting really messy especially with my Stampin' Up! Re Inkers.....well on Wednesday night at my monthly card session my ladies got to play along as well........ They were really amazed with the effect of the "Baby Wipe" technique..... This is just one of the cards they made using my favourite background stamp Medalion and the colours that remind me of summer (but that seems to have disappeared at the moment) ...
Fox and Friends
My Fox and Friends stamp set has been sitting on the shelf a little neglected, so I dusted off the cob webs and inked them up. using colours from the Brights Collection, I think this makes them look rather funky and really appealing to younger children. As you can see from the photograph I have matted the images onto Sahara Sand Card stock ( a great substitute should you have run out of Crumb Cake) that has been punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch. The...

Baby Prints……..
My mojo seemed to go out the window a little on Saturday, so I decided that I would case the card that was shown in the Summer Mini Catalogue..... using the Baby Prints stamp set. That's one thing I love about Stampin' Up! they give you ideas on ways to use their stamps in their catalogues. This card uses the Domestic Goddess Designer Series Papers, using the 1 3/8" Square punch I was able to cut a perfect pennant shape at the bottom of the strip. The sentiment is stamped in Pool Party and...
