I've done it again!




Ok, by now I think many of you have guessed I buy Craft Stamper every month and gain inspiration from it. I've been away for a week and was reading the magazine whilst away. How frustrated was I not to have my stash with me, so today I've done the washing, been to town and walked the dogs twice, so after all of that I just HAD to have half an hour to play. I thought this article looked so crisp I was itching to try it out. The idea is to mask off a shape using 'post it notes' and use distress inks to add colour, I've used yellow, spiced marmalade and red hot pepper on these.
My neighbour was taken into hospital at Tooting yesterday, and an op today so I don't think I will be able to get up there to visit unless I go with her hubby one day. Anyway I am just off to pop it through his door so he can take it up to her so she knows we are thinking of her. The other is self explanatory, a thank you card. I hope you like these, I am sure you will be seeing a few more like this but maybe using different colour combinations and stamps.

Wedding card




My dog trainer is off to the States to get married this month and I just had to make her a card.
I have cheated a bit with this one, as I found a scrapbook page with the bride and groom on and the swirls and flowers, I have added some wedding velum to the left hand side together with ribbons and extra glitter. I have also made a box using some very faithful stamps...yes there it is again my dear old swirl stamp and the dancing couple which I thought was quite like the card image. I made an insert which matches the box, but I didn't want to bend the card in half to scan it. I feel quite chuffed with this one, and hope she likes it (and the bottle of bubbly to celebrate with!)

I changed my mind


I found this stamp in the same series at the other one for my son, and as he is an avid footie fan thought he would appreciate this one more.
I used my cuttlebug to cut out 34 and stuck it on.
