Paper Roses

Hi All,

Today, I've been playing again.............and getting covered in glue!!

A couple of days ago I came across a tutorial on how to make these tiny roses; I only wish I could find it again, so I could acknowledge them.........but I've spent 2 hours looking through my blog land list and still can't find it's hiding place!! (Note to self: I must write down great ideas and keep them in a safe place.........well safer than my head that is.......LOL!!)

They are made using the scalloped circle and 1 3/8" circle punch. I did change the final step, I believe they mounted their scrolled card onto one of the Boho Blossom flowers, but I changed it to the leaf from the Bird punch. Which ever way I tried it...........I still got covered in glue, so be warned!!

This is a very simple and straight forward card using the leaves from 'I Believe'; the idea came from Me, My Stamps and I

I've left a small space on the right for a simple greeting.

This card involves more layers, pearls and gorgeous organza ribbon.

The 3 stamps used, are each from a different set of stamps in the Sale-A-Bration Promotion, (it runs until 28th Feb. If you are interested in earning free stamp sets, please contact me)

The shimmery vase is made by chopping the bottom off the Ornament Punch, and glazed using 'Glossy Accents' glue.

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Birthday Sis!

Hi All,

It's my sister's birthday today and here's the gift I've created for her.

Last year she decided to start growing her own vegetables in pots around the garden, so thinking along those lines this is what I came up with.

The basket contains packs of seeds, oak name tags, a journal (using the 'Bind-it-All) to write down her garden notes.......I stamped various images on the pages, throughout the book. The coffee mug holds chocolate for when she needs a break!

I'm so sorry.........I can't remember the people who created the basket and mug templates to give them credit, they are in blog land somewhere!!

Happy birthday to anyone who is also celebrating today.........'till the next time, happy crafting

'I Believe'

Hi All,

I'm feeling pleased with myself.........the boys have been off for half-term and I haven't even had a chance to craft! I've completed my team swaps, along with 100 other cards, to swap with other demonstrators at Convention........(it's now only 4 days away, so I better start getting myself into gear, sort the house out and make sure there's plenty of food.......I don't know about you, but the food seems to disappear much quicker if I'm not policing the cupboards.....LOL!!)

Here is something I've planned for my 'Crafting Buddies' next Monday.



I simply adore this stamp set, don't you? It's using colours from the subtles range, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery.

October - 'Thank You'

Hi All,

This is my Thank You card design for anyone who orders from me in October.
It's using:

• the beautiful 'I Believe' stamp set
• the new Marina Mist ink
• and ribbon (perfect size for tying bows)
• and not forgetting the new gorgeous edge punch
• along with the self adhesive rhinestones (they just save you so much time as you're not having to worry about where you may get the glue!!)

So, for anyone who ordered from Chris' workshop - catch hold of her.......she has your goodies!!

Happy Crafting everyone
