French Foliage

Hi All,

I've been playing around with this set lately........I just love the stamped image of these leaves....don't you?
The cards are all fairly plain and simple, I was thinking along the lines of 'less is more'. The colours are River Rock, Always Artichoke and Whisper White

with the addition of More Mustard and Ruby Red (now retired).

Hardly any layers due to the constraints of the post office!

Happy Creating

Say 'Hello'

Hi All,

It's so sad when we have to say goodbye to stamp sets and products from the catalogue, but soon you'll be able to 'touch and play' with some lovely 'NEW' products too!

Being a Demonstrator allows you to get your hands on some of the new products a month early. I just love the new border punch and 'in colours'. I've a feeling you'll be seeing me use these a lot in the future.

A very simple design, the 1/8th taffeta ribbon fits through the border perfectly.

This one's slightly more complicated, I cut the border into a frame shape. Have you spotted the new stamp sets yet?

Happy stamping,

What's This?

Hi All,

Can you believe it?..............just had to take a picture............my husband using stamps.......he must be feeling poorly!I mustn't get too excited, it had nothing to do with paper craft........he's cleaning off an old alphabet set after labeling some of his machinery in the garage!!

Untill next time,

Say 'Goodbye'

Hi All,

Here are a couple of quick cards in 2 colour choices.
They are simply embossed, stamped with a sentiment and layered onto the base card.
In both cases the ribbons are retiring.........you'll have to be quick, some of the supplies are running out fast.

In Regal Rose..........

......and Night of Navy.

My Swap

Hi All,

I spent the weekend with 'crafty' friends; we attended a SU training session in Leeds on Saturday afternoon.

This is the swap I made.............it's a gift tag and card topper

I know it's not Christmas, but like a good 'Girl Guide' I want to be prepared!!

Happy Crafting

I'm Back!

Hi All,

I decided to continue the holiday mode and took a break from blogging..........did you miss me?

I had a great couple of weeks away with the family, camping in Herefordshire. How could you not get relaxed..........waking up to this view from your tent, in the morning. The sun was just coming up, unfortunately you can't see the moon in this photo, but it was so large, round and gorgeous......it made you feel great to be alive.

The sunsets were great too.............this was taken on our last evening...........just after we'd heard about the floods back home!

Anyway back to craft. I have still been crafting, but forgot to photo much of the items.........sorry.
This simple card is a good example of how to use up those small scraps of ribbon, you always end up with

Promise I'll try and post more often................the holiday's over!!

Thanks for hanging in there
