Sorry For Lazyness

FREE STAMP FOR THE FIRST PERSON WHO CAN TELL ME HOW I DID THE WAVY BIT AT THE TOP!

Seems it is a while since I posted a project. Half term meant no time to play in my craft room. Hope this little gift bag makes up for it. Instructions available just e-mail me. Xxx

Had a great, (if wet!) weekend in Wales visiting family and friends.  So nice to see everybody.   Actually managed to get a chance to do everything we set out to do including DH seeing his beloved Leeds play Swansea, see the sea and catch up with everyone, we even managed an evening out without the boys - wow!

Managed to do a load of jobs around the house yesterday too and stuff like finish the homework and DH cooked a fab meal for us Saturday and Sunday night which I was really grateful for I can tell you.

Motto for the day - you only live once so try and enjoy Mondays as there is something special in every day and Monday has the most potential... SMILE! (Fed up with people wishing the week away and wishing for Friday, no way to live life that sorry x x)

A Card For Niki

I made this to go with some DSP samples for my lovely new downline.
Have a lovely sunny Monday.

Again I was having so much fun on Saturday I forgot to take photos. Thanks to everyone who came and I promise I will do it again in March.

If you are interested e-mail me. It will be on a Saturday afternoon next time as most people preferred that.

First come first served and I already have a few people who didn't make it this time and some who did.

A hint of spring

Snowdrops were my Gran's favourite flower and I can see why.   They really are the first real glimpse of the spring to come.   Hope they put a smile on your face as they did mine :)

I Am Really Really Pleased With This

It shows you can use traditional three colour distressing techniques with Stampin' Up! Colours.

I used Marina Mist, Pacific Point and Night of Navy.   I will try and work on some other colour combinations later.   I clear embossed the bliss stamp then sponged the colours.   I will try and put a tutorial together over the weekend to show exactly how to build up the colour.   If you are coming on Saturday I will be showing you then (with luscious reds).   I then used the Life is Beautiful stamp but the bliss stamp looks great too.  

I then went mad and made a rosette at the bottom.  

I am really really pleased with the way this turned out and I really enjoyed doing it, my creative vibe was definitely there -  the design above is 90% mine but I do have to acknowledge an influence from Kimberley Van Diepen for the idea which kick started it in the first place.  (see Stampin By The Sea blog).   Love Kimberley she is such a sweetie.

Have fun.

Here's a close-up.

For Someone Special

I made this for a great guy who has been in the wars lately.   Sent it with a little something to cheer him up.   Hope you are feeling a lot better C x x x
