some goodies.....

I was having a play the other day with some white card and embossing folders, which to my shame I hadn't used. I then looked through my scrap box and found a small piece of turquoise bazzil cardstock.I then used the Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise ink and went for it!! I used the ink to pick out the embossed detail, which was great!

This was a freebie embossing folder from a magazine subscription, loyal customer gift!! It is so pretty! especially with the added bling. I used the Stampin' Up border punch and the three flower punch (this one is no longer available!)

I love this sentiment too!!

I created a tag......

The final milk carton!! (I love it)

I also created a card, using the Brigitta Image from CC Designs. She is so sweet.I paper pieced her clothes but used a promarker to add shading!

These cards I made with the bits and pieces which were left over!!

Its amazing what you can created with little card, a couple of embossing folders and a few embellishments.

Hope you like

a special birthday....

We celebrated a special birthday at my school this week. My TA was 60.

The teacher I work with in Year 3 and I treated her to some goodies.

She is a fab TA, and retires next year, not really sure what we will do! She is old school and know exactly what to do and when, needing very little direction. She also runs our gardening club with the children so I thought this image would be perfect!

Here is the completed card, all the cardstock and ribbon is from Stampin' Up. I decided to use the colours when I opened my delivery last week and these coloured ribbons were together!!

I also decided that I want to make some special packaging for her little goodies. So Her present consisted of Chocolates, Hot Chocolate Packets, Some Smellies and some Jewellery.

The flowers were made using an old SU Punch stuck with some punched leaves and gems.

On the top of each milk carton I made (Bigshot Pro Size) I put a different sentiment from SU.

Here is the finished Pack - I really liked it and didn't want to give it away, but she is worth it.

Hope you like

Take care all

some yummy sugar.....

Don't these look cute.

These gorgeous new Sugar Nellie Images will be available from July 1st at funky kits!!!!!

Can't wait

Isn't she lovely........

Hello all, blimey I hadn't realised it had been a while since I posted, but I have a good excuse, my computer died, so was unable to share anything apart from annoyance!!!!

Today I'm sharing a simple card using the same image as previously but in a different colour way.

Gorgeous seam binding from Stampin' up, and co-ordinating button!

The papers are MME.

I'm so glad I got to upload my photos before computer crashed. More sharing tomorrow!!

A Tribute to Amelia........

I love this image from The Greeting Farm's Creepin Crew Set. It really remindered me of Amelia Earhart and then when I saw the plane set from Stampin' Up I knew I just had to create a card using them both!!

The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and again so apt form the theme of my card. Its amazing to think that its nearly 75 years since Earhart went missing over the Atlantic. Why am I bothered I hear you ask? (maybe not).

Well my hubby is very interested in vintage aircraft and part owns 2 Englidh Electric Lightnings - very sleek jet from the Cold War Era!

Hope you like. Off Shopping as Emily wants to cook dinner tonight!!

Have a lovely day the sun is shining here again, it is beautiful.

A Surprise.....

Good Morning all, hope you are all well, and thanks for popping by. I have decided to have the morning off from reports!!!

I am sharing a card I made, just for the hell of it!!

I love this image from The Greeting Farm, as it reminds me of a very dear friend who I have know since University. Gabby is a true inspiration. 2years ago she decided to loose weight, she considered a Gastric Band but was too over weight to risk the operation, so went to Weight Watchers instead, Dare I say she was about 25st, and a size 28ish.

She is now a size 18 and weighs nearly half her original size She is amazing!!!!!

The sentiment is from Stampin' Ups recent Sale-a-bration, so no longer available.

The papers are My Minds Eye - Stella Collection Pads.

The twine wrapped around the bottom is from The Ribbon Girl - fabulous stuff!

So why the title?

Whats the Surprise?

When you open the card there is a fab pop up!!!!

This is a recent buy from Sizzix!!

The flowers and swirls are attached to one side of the pop up - not the best of piccies

And this sentiment from Lili of the Valley is attached to the other pop up.
I will have to create another card to show this better - what an excuse to craft!!!

Hope you like,

Thanks for popping by

Take care
