Welcome to the Blog

I love the effect that sewing gives to not only to cards but scrapbooking as well. Using some templates that I had in my stash, I came up with this layout using the vintage papers  which can be found in the mini catalogue and co ordinating card stock Always artichoke and Rose Red. My ladies found it quite relaxing at their monthly scrapbook class..... next month we are making a mini album for more information on classes please contact me at frankiesue@ntlworld.com

Today I thought I would share a card with you that I made last weekend, using  the Top note Die, my beloved Owl punch and sentiment from a  level 2 Hostess set from the Mini catalogue. The card stock colours used are Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Early Espresso. Back of to put my feet up still suffering from the effects of the sedation I had yesterday.

Last night was Heidi's prom nite so being a proud mum I thought I would share a couple of photographs with you. This is Heidi with her friend Rachel. And this is an awful photo of me BUT a fab one of Heidi, yes there were tears in my eyes as I dropped them off at the Prom.....my baby is all grown up!! 

knowing that I'm a demonstrator  and make cards, my daughters friend asked me if I would make her daughters 1st Birthday Card. The only requirement she asked for was it should be "PINK", I then gave my daughter a third degree and found out that the cake was to be themed  and was going to be a castle. I then put my thinking cap on and this is what I created using Blushing Bride cardstock, ink, designer papers and the sanded background stamp. and when you open the doors you...

I'm really proud to be the owner of a Stampin' Up! Big shot.....(Thanks to my hubby) I did get some comments saying "Ohh I like it in Black" " not seen a Black one" So here's a quick picture of the items I demo'd on Sunday at Biggin Hill using the Big Shot and some of Stampin' Up!s Exclusive dies and embossing folders from Sizzix. The first item I demo'd was a book mark, using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit  Die (£10.50) which not only cuts the butterflies out but embosses them at the...

Well what can I say but a BIG "Thank You" to all of you that popped by and visited our stall on Sunday. It was great to catch up with old customers, meet new people and of course other demonstrators that made themselves known to us. I thought I would share with you today some of the pictures we took at the event ~ This is the "Frank" half of frankiesue ~ he was a there on both days and a great help both setting up and packing up as well as ensuring that we were all fed and watered,...

I'm so SORRY that I haven't posted anything on my blog for well over 2 weeks now, but I think I can be excused as I've been really busy with my team "Paper Daises" preparing for this weekend as we have a stand at "Sincerely Yours" papercraft show this Sunday at Biggin Hill. So if your popping along remember to come and say "Hello" to us and in true Stampin' Up! style we have a lovely "make n take" for you to participate in. I promise that we'll take photo's of the day and share these with you...

Tonight I held my monthly Scrapbook class and instead of doing some "pages" we made a "Tri Shutter" Album using  Stampin' Up!s Elegant Soiree Designer papers. On the Cover I've used some chipboard letters for the Alphabet Soup selection, coloured them with Baja Breeze ink and then clear embossed them (yes, Amy this is for you). I used Soft Suede and Baja Breeze Card stock and Marina Mist Stripped Ribbon.  My ladies had fun and although they were given the same papers they...
