Hip Hip Hooray!

Hope you're enjoying your bank holiday weekend.

We are spending some time as a family for Jonathan's birthday

and before the kids go back to school.

I've just got time to show you this card I made

for the daughter of our officers at church who passed

her GCSE's with flying colours!

I've used the Circle of Frienship stamp set and have layered

the sentiment with 3D foam after using the punches.

I love the fact that SU punches layer so nicely together.

The flowers in the centre are from the Sunny Day Simply Scrappin'Kit.

Again I've layered them using some 3D foam.

The background is created using the Dot to Dot stamp

an white craft ink.

And of course I had to add some dotty ribbon to it too!!!

Enjoy your weekend

Another Page....

....from the holiday album!

Here is another page made at my scrapbook

evenings.

I love this picture of the boys trying to push back the

Old Crooked House of Windsor!

The page is made using the bright and colourful

Sunny Day Simply Scrappin'Kit.

We've also been using a selection of punches and stamp sets

from the catalogue too!

Right I'm off to get sewing name labels into 2

rather large piles of school uniform!!!

Wedding Set

Some of you may have seen the lovely wedding set that

Julie made using the Mr & Mrs stamp set.

Well we have a wedding to go to today so I've used

Julie's wonderful tutorial to make a similar set

using the Vintage Vogue set, as I don't have the Mr & Mrs

stamp set.

I have changed the design slightly to fit with the stash that

I have.

Here is the box for the card.

I've used the Bride luxury papers and Chocolate Chip.

The card used to make the box is the packageing card

from the Stampin'Up 12x12 paper packs.

Here is the front of the box.

This is the gift card I made to go inside the box as well

as the greeting card.

And here is the card.

The sentiment on the front is from the Special Blessings

stamp set, the swirls in the corners are stamped using the

Vintage Vogue set.

The flowers are are stamped using the fab rock and roll technique

with Chocolate chip and Close to Cocoa and are layered up

using dimentionals.

There is a bit of bling too with a rhinestone brad in

the centre.

To buy the tutorial pop over to Julie's blog.

I'm having a girly weekend with my sister so I'll be back on

Monday!

Sunny Scrappin' Page 1

So here is the first of page to go in our

holiday scrapbook album.

The background is a 6x6 piece of Pumkin Pie

textured cardstock to which I have added some of the sticky

decorative strips from the Sunny Day Simply Scrappin'

kit and a scallop circle cut using my punch from

Old Olive cardstock.

I've added a butterfly to the centre, stamped in

Pink Passion, perfect for summer!

The weather is a bit naff today so we are staying at

home to catch up on some jobs!

Yesterday we were very productive and tidyed the

toy cupboard, we were meant to get rid of bits

they have grown out of but it doesn't feel like we

got rid of much!!!

That's what you get for doing it with the kids.

Oh well, it's another thing crossed off the To Do list!

Creating Memories

You'll have to get used to seeing several scrapbook pages over

the next few weeks as I create my holiday album at the

scrapping classes I'm running.

We started off by decorating our albums.

I used the All in the Family, Just Perfect Alphabet and

Neighbour (retired) stamp sets to stamp directly

onto my linen post bound album.

I added ribbon down the side with a cute tag

with a sticker embelishment from the

Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' kit,

which we are using to create our sunny summer albums with!

Pop back tomorrow to see the first 6x6 page!

Desk Tidy

As I have tidied my desk I thought I good to use this cute

desk box to keep the cards I've made nice and tidy.

It's a really simple box to make and looks great when decorated.

I've used the Sweet Pea felt again and the colours Pretty in Pink,

Old Olive, Rose Red, and Pumkin Pie.

Nice!

Felt Buttons

Hello!

I've another card to show you today, and yes you can guess

the stamp set I used can't you???

Although there is not as much stamping on this one as the last!

I've used the Rose Red designer paper, Pretty in Pink card with a scallop

edge that I've added holes to using my cropodile.

The buttons are felt buttons from the Sweet Pea felt pack.

I love using it as it adds great texture to a project.

I'll be back soon with another project to show

you.
