Black-n-White...

As promised here are a few of the cards I made whilst on holiday.
I was obviously in a black-n-white mode at the time but I really like them, especially the couple I made with the help of my Cricut (yes I took my Cricut on holiday with me)
The wine glasses on the third one are double layered bit the flowers on the second one are triple layered, base, shadow and silhouette layers fron the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I added little gems to the centres for that bit of sparkle

This one was made using a few scraps I found in the bottom of my box, the grey layer was actually white so I inked over it with a black pad and hey presto a lovely subtle grey layer is added. The scalloped border is with the Fiskars Treading Water punch.

Hope you like them.........

Today Abi Re-Organised The Ribbon's

We weren't going to do the ribbon stand today but Abi had different idea's. We will be loaning her out should anyone require any window dressing or shop designing, no charge and definately NO refunds.............

Back from Hol's

Hi there, well I'm back from what I consider to have been a well earned rest. Dh and me drove down near Paris and stayed in a lovely mobile home on a fantastic site with swimming, fishing, tennis etc etc etc so what did I do - yup you've guessed it, crafted. To be exact I sat outside the caravan in the sun and made cards. The weather was fabby and we didn't leave the site for the whole stay, what could be better...

....and here's a few of the cards I made

The New Bakery

How cruel is this.....................

Every morning on arriving at work you are greeted with the most amazing smell of freshly baked bread, just how long I can stay safe from temptation is in question.
I'm not sure this is allowed on the Slimming World plan, just dont let Shirley know.

Good luck to all at the Blackminster Bakery

Stack-It Twister Card

Here we have a Twister Stack-It decoupage card using a Studio Light paper and a few left over pieces of complimentary paper from my craft box.

All the edges have been inked with Distress Ink - Shabby Shutters, then added a bit of ivory grossgrain ribbon and a piece of wide pink ricrac ribbon. The blossom's are a mixture of Bee Crafty Blooms, Prima flowers and brads. The 2 little butterflies were extra's on the sheet and fit in perfectly.

Hope you like it............

Forever Friends

A little stamp I found in the bottom of my stamp box and in conjunction with an idea I saw some years ago I think this makes a simple yet lovely little card........hope you like it too ...

Top layer is stamped with StazOn then coloured with chalk for a soft pink background then watercoloured with Marvy LePlumeII pens. the false stitching is just drawn on with a Sakura Permanent Black Identipen...

Sometime's we just need to look in our craft boxes and find something we havent used for a while and see what we can come up with..........

Take care
