Thanks to Zoe and the stamp with us classes in the summer it was easy

This is a gift card for my mother-in-law, its her birthday today! Happy birthday mum!I saw this idea on the Project Tuesday challenge blog and thought it was a fab idea. The mil loves daffodils and I saw a tutorial on Mainly Flowers for them. I had a go at those, but as I do't have the proper tools they didn't look quite right, so I tweaked them a bit.(Just used 2 5 petal flower punchies and

I managed to make time to have a little play with Lauren's new template last night. It's the milkmade one and I've made it so the tops lift off. I haven't taken a pic of that yet as I can't find anything small enough in the house to fit them. They are rather cute and petite :)I used real red and old olive cardstock and the lovely summer picnic design papers. The stamp is from the tart and tangy

I loved Jenny's shadow box card in this months craft stamper magazine so I had a go at making my own. I used the A rose is rose stamp set and decorated the large rose in the middle with stampin' glitter. I think this will go with the hand bag I made for Laura's teacher as the thank you card. I love this template from Lauren Meader, (desk top organiser) I think it is definately my favourite. This

I made these tags for my sister as she hosted my first Stampin' up! workshop. I used stamps from the Simply said range and the sentiments are Sincerely yours. Cardstock is chocolate chip and ruby red from the earth elements colour family. On Saturday we (me, Lynne and Heather) attended Helen and Alisons Stampin' up! class. (Thank you ladies :) x ) We had a lovely afternoon and made 4 fab makes.

Ok so most of my family (definately my sister) would tell you I have an unhealthy obsession with "The twilight saga". I ve finished all 4 books, watched the film, and downloaded the album so whilst searching for more info I came across this forum and laughed my socks off!!! I thought it was just me but apparently there are other people like me called "Twilight moms" ha ha!See so it is normal!!

I Can't remember the last time we had snow like this! I'm not sure if Jamie has ever played in snow this deep. We were all in school today (A crime if ever there was one! I think schools should all close when it snows like this especially as we don't get it that often)So when we came home we were straight outside for snowball fights and snowman building! Even Ollie had a great time helping dad

Heres day 2 of JYC. I loved doing this last night I really need to speed up a bit though I thought if I already had some of it ready I would be quicker.... alas not the case, I'm still humming and harring over embelishments! I made a little bead pin for this just next to the snowman. My journaling documents the weather yesterday. This is how it looks today! Its all crisp and glistening and sunny

Much the same as the one on the prompt with just a few words missing and in list form. Lots of

Over at Basic Grey Challenges this week they asked you to make a card for the boys, so I took the oppotunity to make a christmas card for one of my sons using BG Wassail papers that I got from the NEC at the weekend. I coloured Luca with distress inks and added some stickles for a bit of sparkle. This one is from last weeks ismaki sketch or there abouts anyway. I wanted to try it out all week
