Flowers with Jane at CUL

Well!!!!!! What a day was Thursday! How lucky was I? I was absolutely bowled over by the rose class with Jane Gill at CUL - so bowled over I stayed for the afternoon class too!!! As crafters we all have the "must have NOW" feeling, but I had the "must do lots more/Wow" feeling.

We made these roses using 80gsm pink paper, a dark pink ink pad, PVA glue - it's really difficult to tell you anymore - you have to go on a class! I'll certainly be asking Paula at CUL to invite Jane to do more classes - can't wait!

Thank you Jane x

Vikki will go to the ball...

I was asked to make this card - these shoe cards are so lovely, very feminine and I just love putting all the blingy bits on! I used the cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder. The font for "Vikki" is a Quickutz (sorry can't remember the name). The oval shapes are SU punches. The flowers and bling are from CUL. The swirl on the box is also Quickutz. The pink card is Bazzil Bling pink something-or-other!

Thank you

End of term seems so long ago now and I'm soooo enjoying my wonderful 6 week holiday. Crafting juices have been flowing but I've been so busy doing other things I've just not had the time to release them! Anyway, hope you like this card - left it to the last minute before making it - of course....

The scalloped card idea came from a Jane Gill class I went on last year. However, once the circle is chopped in 'half' I was at a loss as to what to do with the smaller 'half' so played around and quite liked this idea. The edges were decorated with various sets of Tapestry Stamps.

Something to share...

I've just returned from my holiday - Lake Guarda, Italy. Surely, this just has to be one of the most beautiful places in the World? So sorry, my 'post' isn't about crafting but just a picture to share with my Bloggie friends xx

Mama Mia!

One of the affects of working in a an all-women team is we have an awful lot of 'Leaving to have a Baby' cards. Thank goodness Magnolia have bought out this little scrummy beauty 'cause we have not one, not two, but THREE leaving this month to have their babies!

The pics are a little small but the papers were beautiful. The lemony/cream one is an old paper by Karen Neuburger - sorry don't know the name of it. The raspberry one is "Berry Pink" by Doodlebug and the orange is "Tangerine Swiss Dot" also by Doodlebug. The words are "Baby Wishes" by Woodware. Good luck Mamas-To-Be Emma, Rachel and Alison!

Sooooo Many May Celebrations.....

I have sure been a busy bee these last few weeks and I'm not halfway there yet!

Here goes the chocolate one - papers from K&Company and the flower from CUL.

Lilac Mother-to-Be one - image from Pink Petticoat, coloured with watercolour pencils, daisy paper - Making Memories, flowers CUL.  I used my Stampin Up! scallop edge too.

The "Freya" one - the topper was made at a Wendy Horrod class at CUL yonks ago - all with Quickutz.

The cupcake one - papers were free with a magazine (Card Making & Papercraft), cupcake is by Alota coloured with watercolours and some stickles, little Tilda normally carries a heart shaped balloon, but I cut it off, flowers by CUL and the large "30" is cut using Quickutz Roxy.

Little Lauren is a whole One year's old!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my littlest niece Lauren. The shoes are the Quickutz Baby Shoes & Pin die and cut from Pebblesinc Party Time Girl. I cut the shoes with thick white card and mounted the pink on them to give them more height. Backing papers are Fairest of Them All "Crowning Moment" and Bazzill Bling pink (no idea of shade, ask my mate SarahK she knows all the colours!!!). The little pink buttons are Pearls Perles Crystal Stickers. The font for the name is Quickutz Moxie. Pretty sure I got it all from CUL.

In true crafter's tradition - this card has been wallowing around my brain for some days now... shall I do this... shall I do that.... and then at 5am this morning I woke up, got up and made it!!!!!!
