Balancing Act

Life is often a balencing act, trying to keep all the balls up in the air, not getting very far with any of them. Looks like this little hedgehog has his balance well though.

This is another sample card made for a fourth coming show so you might see it out on the road one day!!

What a nice day

Lovely day today, quiet unexpected as I thought the rain was coming... however it was a little chilly but dry and sunny. This morning I went to Tilgate Park with kids and Mum. We walked around the whole of the lake there. Lots of climbing trees and scaring my half to death as Caiden and Harvey had to try almost every fishing jetty out!! LOL






Today is Kiera my nieces 12th Birthday and this is the card I made for her. I used Wild Rose Designs for the main image.



Not sure what it happening tomorrow, think the rain may well come in, I think I will go for drive and see what happens.

I got a lovely package today from Canada... who can guess what?!

Bookmark Twilight Style

I needed a bookmark for my Twilight books so I thought I would make one! I used the digital Ian baseball from http://www.thegreetingfarm.com/ and coloured him in "Cullen" colours. Those that have read the book will have recognised the fonts as fonts of the handwriting of Bella, Edward and Jacob as well as the title for the book!! which I found online today. I made two, one for me, one for a friend.

Bit cheesed off as I had ordered the DVD but it hasnt come today and I should have just got it from the shops. Oh well maybe tomorrow!

Hi there

Sunday lay in? Not for me, got a bit of a cold and just felt horrible staying in bed so I got up, means I can have a bit of time at the pc and tv on my own ;0)

So this candy... why dont you want it? I NEED more comments or its not goign to get bigger and I plan to chuck in many more items!! SO I have changed the rules slightly... if you havent got a blog you can still comment... if you have a blog I would love for you to share it on the blog as then it will grow into a bigger and bigger prize! and of course any orders placed with me from now to 12th May will mean you can leave 2 more comments.

Here are a couple of cards. Very simple but cute eh? Both of course are Penny Black. I got the stamps from the Glitter Pot. These sample cards are for a show and will be travelling around with Sir Stampalot, since work is very sparce class wise I have the time to make some cards for them. And Sir Stampalot always help me with my Magnolia addiction so I owe them!! I try not to add to many other things onto the cards as these are to help promote the stamps and not the other bits and pieces. they also prove too that you dont need hundreds of papers, dozens of embellishments to make cards. Of course I love it all like the rest of you, but for some people its all too daunting when you need so much for one card. Keep it simple! (if you want) or jazz it up, you decide.

I also have this cute picture of Milo to share. Taken the other day in the sun, you can see my Dad's rose in leaf buds so its lovely to see it growing back again. My knomes a old family airloom!! LOL no seriously when my Mum and Dad were sorting out gardens and stuff to move they looked at me with these knomes in their hands and I said "NO WAY!" you cant chuck these they are like 20+ years old, like 25 years or something.. they have always been there so I saved them from the tip.

Twilight... have you read it? OMG I loved it... I am in love with Edward Cullen, or is that James? or both? or maybe Jacob LOL I am about 5 pages away from the end of the second book. Book 3 is waiting for me and I have yet to buy the 4th. These books have gripped me and I should be getting the DVD next week. We have a new PC, well Darren got it... he doesnt mind I have a Twilight background wallpaper.. least I went for the one with Bella in as well.. I was hovvering between Edward and James and couldn't decide anyway. SAD eh?? lol

Nesties Book?

Would you like to come along to a class where you can make your own nesties book? Its something I am pondering at the moment. THis would take place in surrey/redhill area.

For supplys you would choose a Simply Scrappin Kit for me to pre order for you. I will supply all other items such as magnetic tape and the binding machine and wires for you to use.

Interested? email stampingcaz@btinternet.com

Bits to share

Here is a card I made with the adorable Wild Rose Girls ----> link to right

I have some more of these to play with so more to come another day.

here are a few pages from a project I was making for myself and that was a storage book for

my nesties. I used magnetic tape under the paper. All papers and decorations are Stampin' Up!

Toodles & Binks - Amelie Bunnykins

Here is Amelie Bunnykins from Toodles and Binks. When Kay dropped these round the other week I couldnt wait to play, but sadly had to. So last night on my return from Beavers I stamped Amelie out and coloured her in ready for me to grab a moment to make a card today.



Materials Used : Amelie Bunnykins - Toodles and Binks
Paper, Card, Ink, Flower Stamp and Punch - SU
Labels Two - Crafts U Love




I have since stamped her again and this time cut away the eggs to make this one versatile stamp, means you have an everyday adorable bunny AND of course the Easter bunny with eggs. I will try and make a card later.

I have other stamps to play with too... Wild Rose Studio have sent me two to play with. Can't wait ink them up!

A few cards

Here are a couple of cards, one from today. The others from the SU training I went to Friday. Oh and my swap card I made for said meeting.

The first one is made with Geisha Anya, isnt she lovely? There seems to be a lot of Geisha/Japanese dolls about at the moment. I am not keen on many of them, but Geisha Anya is an exception. I got her from www.diestodiefor.co.uk she is a greetings farm stamp. The paper is Stampin' Up! the flowers and punch are SU too.

These cards were made for my swap at the meeting. I used the Fresh Cuts stamps from the Mini Catalogue. I had to make 20 so I needed simple ;0)

And last but not least, its not all learning and slideshows at these training sessions!! We have fun too and we made these 3 cute cards. I am going to design a card simular to this one for a video tutorial really soon. Unfortunately wont be tomorrow as I have Beavers tomorrow night.

Right I had an appointment with Lost and then Edward Cullen ;0)

See ya tomorrow

Lovely day at Crafts U Love

I had a lovely day at Crafts U Love yesterday. All apart from a headache that was making me feel quiet ill. I was demoing and classing. The demo was using Magnolia and Alota stamps to make some cute cards and the Class was a clever double slider card and the Stampendous Frogs. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of this card, its hard to get the WOW factor off of a photo with this one.

Here are a couple from yesterday - look nicer in real life as they were coloured with the sparkling paints and you cant get the shimmer from them in the photos.

.

Both are using the very lovely "tilda in hat" and the Alota stamps - the glass sold out (but is being re ordered) the circle is one of many on a whole sheet of circles or ovals. the lines are thanks to the window I was taking them at, it was the kind with the wire through the glass and to be honest I just wanted to get home as soon as it finished as my headache was really getting me down.

Got home, had some tea and then as evening came I ended up with the most horrendous pain. I wasnt sure where it was comign from but it was agony and coming in waves. If I hadnt known better I would have said labour pains!! Without going to too much detail, I had a very "funny tummy"sometime after, just before I was thinking I might need to go to hospital! Harvey as you know wasnt well last Friday, Caiden has had a funny tummy all week but been fine in himself, Darren has too had this and I thought I had escaped it as it was a week after Harvey wasnt well and he didnt even get the tummy, just being violently sick. I went to bed at 8.30 and not even the spell of Edward Cullen could keep me awake. (my Twilight Book) although didnt get to sleep until about 10 as these pains were keeping me awake.

I'll be back later with some more cards from yesterday.
