And finally this is my strawberry jam set for my dad.

I think it will definately be a limited edition lol!! I made some scones and added a pot of clotted cream too!
Ingredients:
Tart and tangy stamp set

Picnic anyone?

I've been crafting today!

After seeing Lauren Meader's blog with her new pack a picnic template I've been busy creating them to give as fathers day gifts.

I absolutely adored the one she made with the jam in so..... in true Debbie fashion i am going to make some homemade jam and scones to put in mine for me Dad, grandad and Paul's grandad.

I've made Paul a blue one to put some smellies in from the kids.

All products are Stampin' Up! TTFN x

I'm Back!!

Finally Paul has sorted out my computer!!!
Normal posting will resume shortly :) ....... when I've done the house work, the ironing, been to work..... lol!
See you soon x

Not my computer :(

Well getting really fed up!
My computer is broke and not mended yet and I'm only allowed limited time on Paul's ..... and its the holidays!!
Ollie decided that my computer needed to get drunk and knocked a whole glass of wine over the top of it! NB you know what they say about backing your stuff up..... yeah? .... well do it I've lost loads :( I'm hoping that someone can retrieve it for me.
Can't post any pics of my makes and I have been busy making bunnie boxes for Easter and a lovely card holder from a tutorial by Joanne Gelnar over on the In love with stamping website.
I'm working on a little project for someones birthday too!
Anyway got to go be back soon
(hopefully with pics and a non broken puter!)

Busy busy!

New hair again! Had it coloured its quite a chocolate brown with some blonde chunks. I'm trying to grow it again. Really pleased with the colour.

I had a really productive night last night and finished up a few projects I have had on the go. This one is a "file it with flair "template by Lauren Meader. I love her templates and look forward to their release on the papertrey site.

I have used some of my Stampin' Up stuff to make them and finally my scallop circle punch arrived and so far I've used it on everything lol!

Card stock is chocolate chip, almost amethyst, old olive and not quite navy. DP is spiced cider and the stamp is from the seeing circles set.

Then I finished my mothers day stuff. There are 2 cards using certainly celery and pretty in pink.

The cd box is another template from Lauren Meader "music makerover". I used the botanicals stamp set from the SAB catty.

Then in front is a box from a tutorial by Becky Roberts. There are various bits and pieces inside - a post it note holder, decorated Elizabeth Shaw mints and some in an acetate box and also a lindt heart in a little gift bag. I used bazzil card and papers from this months scrapagogo kit.

Jewellery Challenge # 5

Some stampin' up!

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. One of them was a gorgeous joy fold card by Alison and this is my version using different papers and stamps which is a wedding card for my cousin.

I used Simply said, Pocket silhouette, and "congratulations" from the Fun and fast notes stamp sets. Cardstock is certainly celery and pretty in pink from the soft subtles colour family and design paper is from the Tea and crumpets range.
