Welcome to the Blog
For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsBows!!!!!!!!
Today I'm going to share with you a couple of cards that I taught my ladies at one of my card classes. My ladies have a fear of bows so I thought that I would spend some time showing/teaching them different ways of tying bows...... As my ladies took their places they looked a little puzzled at the sight of a dinner fork in front of them but they were really pleased at the out come and how simple it was to make this bow. I had a couple of spare sets left over so a couple took...

Colour Coach Blog Hop
Today I'm going to share with you 2 cards that I made with you for the Charity event both using the Colour Coach as a guide especially I knew I was participating in this "Colour Coach Blog Hop" This is a handy little tool which I certainly wouldn't be with out now!!

This second card that I came up with based on an idea given to me by the lovely Bekka...
Another Strength and Hope Card
This card didn't actually make it to the charity event as I decided to keep it for my husband Frank as its our aniversary today.............can't beleive that its 22 years!! The colours used are Real Read, Basic Black and Whisper White. I've also raised the butterfly on with Dimensionals and emblished it with some "Bling". Be sure to pop back tomorrow as a group of us Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have arranged a blog hop using the Colour Coach.
Franks Birthday Card
Today I've taken a break from sharing with you the Strength and Hope cards from saturday and wanted to show you the card that I made for Franks birthday on Sunday.. yes I did go home and make it on Saturday evening ladies and even surprised myself at how quick I did it as well.

The Sense of Time has been stamped onto Natural Ivory paper in Soft Suede and edged to make it...
another card from Saturday
The card on the right of the picture is the card that I designed for the charity event, Mel one of my friends who attended came up with the varation on the left hand side. These cards use Whisper White, Crumb Cake and one of the new In Colours Blushing Bride. The butterflies have been emblished with perfect pearls and you can also see that we used the Eyelet border and Scallop Edged border Punch. To order any of the items used to make this card then please drop me an email.
Strength & Hope card from charity event……..
This card was made with 2 colours that I haven't used for a very long time......Elegant Eggplant and Pale Plum along with my new found favourite Pink Pirouette. The strip of Designer paper is from the Lap of Luxury pack and of course I just had to use another new favourite stamp set " Four Frames" and the matching punch. The sentiment is from the Love you Much Set. Be sure to pop back for another card later ....
