Vintage Vogue and Greenhouse Garden

As I've already said on numerous occasions I  recently attended Regional training in Leeds and one of the tasks we had to do was make our own name badges.  This has never been requested before and, to be honest, I kept forgetting all about it despite several reminders from my fellow demo's.

You may have read that I didn't finish my swaps until 11.30pm on the Friday night before training on the Saturday so the last thing I then wanted to do was design a name tag.   I had in my mind what I wanted to do so I was half way there, I just didn't have enough time.

Anyway, Saturday morning arrived and I was up bright and early so that I was ready for when my lift arrived.  Having done what I needed to do I had 10 minutes spare so I thought, I'll try and do my badge, if it goes wrong I'll just take the one from convention last year, I know it was "cheating" but what was a girl supposed to do in a hurry!!!!!!l

I decided to use the Framelits Die ( have I told you how much I loooovvvve these dies!!!!) along with Vintage Vogue and Braodsheet alphabet set.   I cut the two largest sizes out in Perfect Plum and Very Vanilla.  I stamped my name in Perfect Plum Ink onto the Very Vanilla.  I was going to use the Stamp a ma jig to line them up but decided I didn't have the time so I just went for it.  To my utter amazement they all came out in a straight line....yay.  To decorate around the edges I used the foliage stamp from Vintage Vogue and the little flower from Greenhouse Garden.

I was very pleased with the end result especially as it only took me 5 minutes to make so at least I wasn't the odd one out at training....lol

Thanks for stopping by, a full list of products will be shown below this post.  Take care until next time

Box Frame class

Yesterday I held my box frame class and, as usual, we had a blast.  For once everyone finished their project...lol  I was meant to start one of the two I have to do for baby but didn't get a chance, too busy running around after everyone....lol  The ladies had free rain over all my stamps, punchs, inks, embellishments etc and each finished project was totally different and all looked stunning.

This is Rachels' finished project, she did a 6x6 frame.   The colours used were Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake

Next is Teresas' finished frame, hers was slightly larger at 12x12.  Her colour combination was Pear Pizzaz, Peach Parfait, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake and Pretty in Pink.

Finally here's Stephs', who also did a 12 x12 frame.   Stephs' colours were Real Red, Wild Wassabi, Basic Grey, Chocolate Chip and Daffidil Delight. 

I'm sure you will agree with me that they are all fabulous projects and so different. Looking forward to next time ladies.

Niece's card

Hello everyone,

Its been a while since I've posted but its been busy busy busy again both at home and work. On Friday it was my nieces 18th birthday and, true to fashion, I left making her card right until the last minute.  Luckily I had Friday afternoon off so was able to go and buy her pressie and also make the card.  Not bad considering we were at her BBQ at 6 that night...lol.  This is the finished product:

I've used the elegant bouquet embossing folder from the mini catalogue, Vintage Vogue, Braodsheet  alphabet and Curly Cute stamp sets and the colour combo is pumpkin pie and whisper white.  Accessories are Rhinestone brads, pumpkin pie ribbon and a beveled window, again from the mini catalogue.

Thanks for looking and if you wish to order any of the products please get in touch and I'll be happy to do that for you.

Hugs
