Two for you tonight

I have two cards for tonight then I will be most probably unable to make any cards for fun as I have two deadlines to meet before Satuday, well actually 6 cards by Thursday and then prep for two classes for Saturday! Opps!

SO here are the cards, one is a Stamping Bella design from http://www.diestodiefor.co.uk/ email them for more info on the stamp.. Shes a cutie though?

The second is one of the summer kit tildas, jetty and ice pops.. The fun in the sun wording is from Stampendous and I am sure I dont need to tell you all any longer where the buttons are from!

Are you busy this Saturday?

I am teaching two classes at the Glitter Pot and I would love you to come along. Penny Black have brought out an ADORABLE set called 12 days of Christmas... now the wording may be Christmassy but the images are perfect for any occasion... very very cute images.. ever seen a dog drumming? or a partridge sitting in nest cross stitching WEARING ROLLERS? a ballerina hedgehog and a French hen complete with baguette, glass of wine and a beret! I will be designing a few quick and easy mini cards and designing a wallet for them to go into too. It will be a fun class!



Thats for the morning and then if you have been admiring my latest Magnolia cards then you will get the chance to make up a card or two using these wonderful designs. Magnolia have designed stamps of main images and accessories to work together. You all know how much I love these stamps and I want to spend the afternoon with you stamping these beauties!



Magnolias + papers + flowers + Colouring = beautiful cards!

See you there!

OMG guess what just came?

Shrink Fun

There are a few things that I dont do often enough and when I do do it I always say I must do it more. Shrink Plastic is one of those things. The Magnolia stamps are ADORABLE shrunk!!

Here are a few cards I made today

SO whilst I made a few cards I also ended up with quiet a few shrunk Magnolias so I made this card... Too cute eh?

I thought the flower and button looked like a lovely yellow sun. And can you see the little tilda in the tree>

All materials are Craftsulove.co.uk

Darren always breathes a sign of relief when I say

know those new stamps... well I dont really want many of them. WHOO HOO! he says... inside his head no doubt.. Yes dear he says outwardly LOL I am always talking stamping with him, I think he is glad I have the blog as at least I cant share with people who love stamps as much as me... anyway as I was saying there are some stamps that arent me, much like there are probably a lot of stamps I use you wouldnt. So when I saw the new Elizabeth Bell and Sarah Kay there were only 3 or 4 saying buy me. I am not saying this to be disrespectful ot mean, just simply stating a fact that MOST of them didnt appeal... just as well when it seems the entire Nellie and luca, Rachelle, Maggies, Magnolias and more. I ADORE the work I am seeing with these new stamps and I admire the artists work but I dont want to buy them and make cards. SO last night I inked up one of the two Elizabeth Bells stamps that did appeal to me BIG TIME... I think she is called Sweet and Sassy and for me the appeal in her was her country charm along with a mangaish touch.

On with the card details I coloured her in last night, I had a thumping head all day yesterday and couldnt finish the card so I threw this together literally in 5 minutes just now and think its turned out cute, I nearly threw the image away as I didnt like my colouring last night. Cuttlebug fantasy flowers were used, basic grey papers, craftwork card words, eternal maker button, scalloped card was brought like this and I think it was Glitter Pot.

I missed out on the one Sarah Kay I wanted as they have sold out at the Glitter Pot but I will get it one day.

Harvey has an assembly today. Its a grandparents one. Mum is going, I hope she enjoys it although she will feel sad too. Harvey was crying last night about it, we both had a cuddle and a cry, when I went up later he was in bed sleeping with Grandads tropies that he is looking after for nanny... aww bless him. His memories will be short but he has good memories of the fun he had with Grandad, I tell him he has to tell Caiden was a great Grandad he was and he promises he will.

I have a class and demo at Crafts U Love tomorrow. Come along and look at how ADORABLE these Magnolias shrink up! I will share the cards after tomorrow.

I was so pleased when Kitty asked if I wanted to join her in the Design Team for this new company. There are some ADORABLE stamps coming.... beans on toast for the rest of the year I think!





So here are two of the new pairs of charachters we will soon be getting to know and love... Max and Milly and Harry and Martha... unfortunately for me I love both of these sneak peeks and I am sure I will want them all! There are more designs on their blog so check that out too...

Just sharing the news LOL thats what I do ;0) Cant keep all these lovies to myself can I? ALthough I am sure your other halfs wished that I would.

Aww totally off topic Caiden just hurt his nose so I said to him "Mummy kiss it" so he came over and kissed my nose! Awwww its adorable when they get all mixed up like that!! I said "its it better" and he said yes... awwwwwwwwwwwwww

What you doing Saturday?

Nothing much?..... why not come down to Crafts U Love and take my 1 hour magnolia class? there we will make a cute card using some of the Shabby Chic stamps, some beautiful papers and watercolour pencils. After the class I will be demoing with the stamps and making shrink decorations with shrink plastic, will be a nice day so do come along.

Mum and I went to BINGO last night and it was fun! Even better was Mum got a full house and won £50 and even better that we decided on a 50/50 thign for the winnings! After nearly going into shock at the speed of those quick games they play with teh boards with the flip doors and panicing we couldnt keep up with bingo the bingo started and it was fine. Mum whispered she needed one number and the HOUSE!! LOL We were giggling... you could tell we were newbies all the rest were very serious ;0) We are going to make it a monthly thing.

I have been prepping for my class this weekend so no cards to share right now.... I will hopefully get to making something for fun soon.
