Catching up!

I can't believe that this is my first post in July.

I've been really busy over the past couple of weeks catching up everything that I hadn't been doing due to be being busy at work ---- I think I need some time off work just to catch up with catching up LOL

I love the purple and green combo - still can't believe that I'm liking green at the mo!!! This is my new Penny Black stamp - quick and easy to colour :o)



I made this one for my uncle's birthday on Tuesday. He's got the same daft sense of humour that I have so this stamp (one of the new Penny Black 12 days of Christmas) was perfect for his card. I hope he appreciates that I used 2 of my yummy new Doodlebug velvet brads LOL


Both cards were done using sketches but sorry I can't remember where I got them from !

Race 4 Life

Here is the page that I did for this weeks challenge on UKScrappers.

The requirements were to scrap an achievement, 4 of something, journalling in a circle and stitching. I cheated a bit on the stitching as I used rub ons ;o)

The piccie is of my mum, sister, niece and moi when we completed the Race for Life last year. I can't believe that it will be a year next month since we completed it. Looking at this piccie, my sister has lost so much weight - even her youngest son noticed when he saw this page yesterday.

I love the new Doodlebug papers especially the pink ones LOL

Same but different!

Same stamp - my new gorgeous Imaginisce Chick
Same message stamp – Penny Black
Same papers - Pebbles
Same circles - Nestabilities
Same brads - well kind of LOL The top ones are the new yummy Doodlebug velvet covered brads and the bottom one is a Doodlebug mind brad.

The only difference is the layout. Both layouts are from the fab sketch site Mojo Monday

Coaster Box

I made this Coaster Box for a special friend as part of a swap.

It's my first ever one and I thoroughly enjoyed making it especially as it meant that I could use pink and green and all my favourite crafty bits - Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Flowers etc etc etc :o)

Picked For You

I love this Penny Black stamp - as you've probably guessed LOL

Competition cards

It's been a while since I did a crafty post :o)

Here's 3 cards that I made for a competition. The theme was pink and you got extra points if you used a brad, peel off and vellum.

I couldn't find any vellum (probably gave it to my cousin's daughter)

I'm loving green at the mo

I never used to like green but, just lately, I seem to be making more and more cards with green.

I've just realised that both cards have Cuttlebug embossing on them LOL




I used sketches from Ismaki and My Paper World

A couple more cards

Here's 2 cards that I don't think I've shown on here :) They are my 2 main stamp loves at the mo - Tilda and Penny Black (of course LOL)

Oooh I've just noticed that both of them are pink and green - I do love that colour combo :)

A few cards

Here are some of the cards that I've made/sent recently to my fab internet buddies.

Neighbours

My parents next door neighbour is a lovely lady. She still calls me "the little girl next door", even though I now tower over her and I moved out of my parents house nearly 8 years ago LOL

It's her 78th birthday tomorrow so I've made these 2 cards. The Tilda one is from me and the Papernation rambler is from my mum and dad. It was the first time that I've used my new Spellbinders Nestabilties dies and they're fab. The embossing is so effective.
