You’re lovely… for colouring in

Hello!  It’s half term here in the UK so Thomas isn’t at school, and Hubby is not working either, Daisy and I have left the ‘boys’ at home and come to visit a very good friend.  Beth and I have been crafting together for 15 years and she’s also one of my team of Dazzlin’ Daisies.  We had a lovely day yesterday, painting, getting inky and making pizza for dinner.  At bed time Daisy said to me “ We had a lovely busy day today Mummy, I’m going to sleep lots!”  Don’t you just love the way little ones process their day!

Now onto the crafting!  I’ve been playing with colouring in stamped images a lot lately, I really enjoy how easy it is to create pretty images using my inkpads and blender pens.  The card I am sharing today is another using the SAB stamp set You’re Lovely.  Remember for every £45 order you place between now and March 31st you can choose a FREE gift!  I went for a very clean and simple card, what do you think?  I deliberated for a good ten minutes whether or not it needed ‘something more’ a bit of ribbon or some rhinestones maybe?  In the end I left it and I think I like it.  I think I will make packs up to sell at an upcoming craft fair, they’d make cute little note cards.

Here’s a close up so you can see the colouring in a bit better.  I’ve used gumball green, pumpkin pie and crushed curry for the flowers and soft sky to go around the image.

You’re lovely

Hello!  Another late post for me today.  Half term is here so my days are a tad busier.  I do hope to squeeze in some crafting this week and also a visit with a very good friend.   Today I want to share a card I made using one of the SAB stamp sets, You’re Lovely, I have teamed it with the brand new background stamp from the Spring/Summer catalogue, Hardwood. 

The bottom layer is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar and cut out using the Deco Labels framelits.  I  used Stampin’ Write markers to colour in the centre of the stamp and punched it out then popped it up on some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside also got a little bit of love!

Finally a little close up of the detail.  I hope you like today’s card.

Scrapbook Saturday

Happy Saturday folks!  It’s a bit of a windy one here in Northampton but I am very grateful that we are not really all that affected by the winds and floods as others in the UK have been.  I didn’t get around to blogging yesterday as I had very important Mummy duties during the day.  Daisy and I were very busy playing in the morning and it was Thomas’ celebration assembly at school in the afternoon.  The choir got their awards for winning the competition and they sang their winning songs too.  As it was valentine’s day Hubby and I had a ‘grown up’ meal and watched a film together once the children were in bed.  A very yummy end to a fab Friday!

Today I am going to share a couple of pages that were produced at this month’s Scrapbook Club.  Last week I shared my layout, today I will share layouts from my down-line Georgie and also the very talented Larraine.  We've been running the group for over 2 years now and Larraine is one of our original members. 

First up is Georgie’s layout, we both design a double page spread using the same kit, the group then use these as a start point  for inspiration.  I love her use of texture on the top note shape and the little touches of glimmer that the small hearts and the sequins add too.

Can you spot the gold foil top on the scalloped tag topper punch?  How cute is that? 

I really like Larraine’s beautiful layout, it amazes me how many different things that we can come up with when we all start from the same point.   The butterflies and hearts add real interest and texture to the page.

I love the banner too and the stamping on the doily to echo the stamping down the side of the page.

If you want to buy any of the items used in these layouts simply click on the product below and it will take you straight to the online store.
