Welcome to the Blog
For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsI decided to set myself a challange this weekend and that was to take part in a sketch challange (this is that can be found over at Sketch N Stash) and use a stamp set that I hadn't used ( I know its bad and its not the only one either). The stamp is one from the Hopeful Thoughts Stamp set. I've use Certainly Celery as the base colour, along with some Wild Wasabi Designer paper from the Subtles Paper stack. Instead of using a buckle I decided to tie a bow in the delicous...

For this weeks card class I used one of my favourite stamp sets Garden Whimsy. Here is one of the cards the ladies made.............. A twisted easel card........I do admit that I cased the lovelly frill idea from Monica. The colour combo I have used is Whisper white, Melon Mambo and Regal Rose.
Just loving my new………
toy from Stampin' Up! as I've recently landed a job I thought I'd treat myself to the New Colour Spritzer Tool........its just fab and back grounds are so quick and easy to do as you can see on this Valentines Card that I made. I used my favourite pink at the moment Pink Pirouette as a base and using my spritzer tool added colour with Red Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Cherry Cobler. I then matted and layed my image after using my blender pens and added a small punched heart on...

Sorry haven't been its been very hectic here lately......... but I managed to find time to play along with this weeks Mojo Monday.........I've used one of my Penny Black stamps with Stampin' Up! Inks and Cardstock (Very Vanilla and Early Espresso) with some emblishments from my stash, hope you like it.
Havin’ Fun!!!!!
I just LOVE these pictures that Heidi and her friend Emma took on a visit to Ikea. So much so that I scrapped them with my Swap-a-challange kit from our retreat. I still don't know who put my kit together but I just loved the papers and emblishments, THANK YOU. The layouts just came to me by looking at the papers, surprised myself by not using sketches for a change.
