ONLY 10 DAYS LEFT TO EARN YOUR FREE EXCLUSIVE STAMP SET OR PAPERS..... I'M PLACING AN ORDER THIS WEEKEND SO DON'T DELAY GET YOUR ORDERS IN SOON!!!!!


Good morning everyone,

What a beautiful morning, I hope the weather is as nice for you as it is here.  Its still a bit chilly when you go out but we have lovely sunshine which I think makes everyone feel a little happier :)  Today I'm going to show you the card I made for mothers day.  For once I was not last minute.com, I had it all finished by Saturday night ready for delivery Sunday morning so feel quite proud of myself...haha

Here is the card that I did for my Mum, unfortunately Dean's mum passed away several years ago so she was in our thoughts on the day.

I have layerd card and paper onto a card base and attached the sentiment.  I have then attached some vellum over the top and added the flower to the front.  This not only adds decoration but you can put some glue on the vellum underneath the flower to hold the vellum in place on the card.  I have also put 2 tiny bits of snail tape on the top corners on the back to hold it secure also but you can hardly see the snail tape.   Below is the insert and I have used my markers to create the different colours on the flower.

Now I needed to make something to put mum's pressie in so I made this little bag thinking the gift would fit inside, some of it did and some of it didn't...lol

I've coordinated it with a similar flower to the one on her card,  this was made the same way as the ones in the photo frame post,  and used the top note die as the flap to close the bag.  These are the pressies we brought her, guess which one didn't fit in?

Yep you're right it was the necklace and earrings that were attached to it ...lol  The bracelet and fridge magnet only just fit in as well ...lol   The magnet said, " Mums are like Buttons, they hold everything together" which I thought was so true.  I knew that my mum loves the jade colour and when we went out on Monday she wore it and it looked lovely and really suited her.

As you know I'm now the proud grandparent of little Leo so when I brought mums magnet I saw another one that I could not resist as it said " A grandparent is someone with silver in their hair and gold in their heart"  not that I've got a lot of silver in my hair...lol but I thought it was so sweet I had to have it.

Well I hope you've enjoyed looking at my projects again and will  leave a comment for me to read.  Now I'm off to try and make a start on the 8 cards I need for next week !!!

Take care

Box Frame class 2

Good morning ladies,

I'm finally catching up on my sleep from convention last weekend, its only taken all week to do...haha

Yesterday I  held my monthly crafting class and this month we made the box frames again as most of the ladies hadn't done it previously.   It was such fun as the new ladies didn't know what to expect, they thought they would be making a frame from cardboard not a 3D project.  However, all of them throughly enjoyed the class.  Here are some of the pages out of the frames to prevent the glear off the glass :-

This one is Emily's, its a picture of her and her brother and is a christmas present for her nan, lovely thought don't you think?  Colours used for this one were Early Expresso, crumb cake and pretty in pink.

Next we have Rachels.  Rachel decided she only wanted to do a 6x6 frame to match the one she has done previously, so cute.  The colours used on this one are Rich Razzleberry, pretty in pink, bashful blue and Wild wasabi.

Finally this is the one my sister did, shush its a christmas pressie for our mum, and its of my lovely grandson Leo.  This picture was taken about 3 weeks ago when he was only 14 weeks old, he's growing soooo quickly its frightening.  The cardstock used here was Island Indigo, Daffodile Delight and Basic Black.  You may have noticed the special paper at the bottom of this card, thats from the Mocha Morning Speciality DSP, isn't it just lush?

The other ladies didn't quite finish their projects in time but all have assured me that once they have they will wing a picture to me so I can show you all the finsihed products. 

If you would like to order any of the products listed or come to one of my classess just get in touch using one of the methods at the top of my blog.

Thanks for visiting, I'm off to start on my Christmas cards so I'll be back soon with more projects to show you.

Thank you card

Hiya,

What a week its been.  On Monday we travelled to Peterborough to look at prams and cotbeds with Nicola and Lee.  We went to a big kiddies store there and got both items in one day. The pram is in the spare room with the cotbed mattress and the cot frame is in the garage :-)

Then on Tuesday it was back to reality and work which I didn't want to do as I knew my brand new BIG SHOT was being delivered on Wednesday.  Luckily hubby's been off this week and he was under strict instructions NOT to miss my nice Mr UPS man and, for his own sake, he didn't.   So Wednesday night I had a little play with my new toy and the "extra's" I just had to have to go with it and here is the end result...



This was made to send to one of my ladies with her order that she should receive today.  I hope she likes it.  

All products are SU and consist of: big shot die cutting machine, Springtime vintage paper, pear pizzaz seam binding ribbon (this is just lush), vintage wallpaper embossing folder, various punches, Sincere Salutations stamps, elegant eggplant c/s and ink, and the big designer buttons from the mini.

Thanks for stopping by.

More cards from training

What a gloriouse day better make the most of it as they say its going to change in the week.   We are having a BBQ later this afternoon and Nikki and Lee are coming over to join us.  Nikki usually eats us out of house and home,  I know she's eating for 2 but, tbh, I think its more like 3...lol. Still better that than not eating enough.   We brought the baby one of those rocker chairs the other day that vibrates to sooth it, little did we know it was on her wish list so a good choice made I think.

As you may have already read I went to Jules training yesterday and we made lots of lovely cards and a scrapbook page.  I've already shown you 3 of the cards we made now here are the other 2.

 

I think you will agree they are all stunning cards and show off the versitility of SU products.  All SU products are available to order through me should you wish to purchase any, just drop me a e-mail.

Thanks for stopping by
