sugar nellie cards

snow cosy stamp and a cuttlebug embossing folder for the christmassy cards, and sweet and sassy stamp on the pink card.- on a mission to use up my scraps- so no whole sheets of paper were harmed while making these cards!

christmas card

yes i know its september but at the speed i make cards i have to start early!! a very tallented lady called elaine did a demo of this on Saturday and i couldn't wait to have a go. i used bazzil bling which is terrible to photograph, a cuttlebug embossing folder and an ellision cut and emboss snowflake. so simple and easy to make but looks good in real life.

new addition

heres a quick pic of Rosie our mini-lop.

i love the half up half down look she has at the moment as her ears havn't dropped properly yet.

SU cards

i've been playing around with SU dazzling diamonds and heat& stick powders, and loving all the bling. i used SU big bold birthday stamps.

bad blogger

i havn't posted in ages, i've been so busy selling our house and the de-cluttering and packing which comes with a move, i even surprised myself with the amount of junk i've collected over the years. A pretty shaped glass jar or special xmas card seams harmless enough when you tuck them away in a cupboard but over the months and years they multiply and very soon become boxes of clutter.
Truth be told i'm only posting today because i've packed everything away apart from the PC, so the quiet half hour i've got at the moment when the kids are glued to scooby i would normally be baking or making a sneaky card or Layout.

These 3 layouts were made from scrapagogo kits, i think the pink one turned out well for a boy although my son wasn't impressed with it. i explained to him that i scrap my photos for me, its very rare anyone sees the pages in real life, i share them on here and my gallery on uks as its like minded people who look at them, and its nice to think that someone, somewhere might get an idea for their own pages from them.

dream street papers

some more paper i've been saving for the perfect photo, i machine stitched the paper edges and hand stitched the ric-rak on which looks realy good in real life.

piggy tales- red riding hood

i've been saving these papers, this was the perfect photo for them- i love it when my kids match my papers!!! I put in a close up pic as i thought the flowers turned out well, i hate drawing and writing on LOs, it NEVER looks right, during the whole doodling craze that went on i ruined loads of pages trying to doodle- so this is as near as it gets for me- and it was much quicker than inking every petal!!!!
