Girlie Chalkboard!

Hey there and Happy Friday!

It's the last week day of the school holidays and we have had a lovely relaxing week this week. Robino has been back at work and its just been me and the boys, chilling out and enjoying each others company! My eldest son has had a LOT of homework and GCSE coursework (he is only 13!) so he has spent a lot of time up in his room working!

So here is the girlie version we made on Tuesday night. This uses one of the retiring colours - Regal Rose - which is the darker pink. If you do want to stock up on your favourite colours please do get in touch as I head yesterday that 3 colours of card are already out of stock! Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze and Bravo Burgundy!

The sentiment on the middle of the card is from Delightful Dozen, the FRIEND is from For my Family, the owl and butterfly are from A Fitting Occasion and the Happy Day is Ciao Baby!

Here are both of the cards together!

Father's Day Chalkboard card

Hello there and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Today I am sharing a make from Tuesday nights training I did with some of my team. We received a gorgeous Chalkboard swap at our training from one of my downline Angie and I have re-created it a couple of times since but thought we would make 2 at training on Tuesday! 

Here is the first one, it's a Father's Day version.

It uses some of our retiring colours - Not Quite Navy and Riding Hood Red. Talking of retiring colours and products we have a few things that have sold out already and will not be back. If you have ink pads that you love please please order your ink refills ASAP.

Out of Stock already

Regals Watercolour Wonder Crayons

Neutrals Watercolour Wonder Crayons

Watercolour pencils

More Mustard Ink Refill

Baja Breeze Ink Refill

Certainly Celery Ink Refill

So on with the card, the little pictures of the tie and the moustache are from A Fitting Occasion stamp set, the Fathers Day sentiment is from Delightful Dozen and the Dad is from For my Family. As you can see I have used the Petite Curly Label punch that is now available on general sale at £11.50. The Happy Day sentiment is from Ciao Baby.

If you would like any of the products in this project I would be happy to help you out with them.

I'll be back tomorrow with the girlie version!

Petite Curly Label punch now available!

Hi there! I'm very tired this morning as I had a rare midweek night out (inc wine) to see Swing Thing, my favourite vocal duo perform their monthly set at a local bar. Check out their You Tube site HERE, I can highly recommend them for functions/parties/weddings if you are in the Yorkshire area!

So as the title suggests the Petite Curly Label punch is now available for you to purchase. If you missed out on getting it as one of your Sale-A-Bration freebies then it's now on sale!

The price is £11.50 and it will also make it into our Annual Catalogue from 1st July too!

Just a few reminders of projects made using it!

Remember this gorgeous chalkboard card inspired by my downline Angie, well the punch is a definite to re-create this little beauty!

I also used it on the card I made for my friend Jane back in February.

This is the stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue that co-ordinates with it!

Right I think I need another coffee!!

A Whirlwind Weekend!

Gosh I have had such a busy weekend so I am looking forward to a bit of a "rest" today. I've been to dancing with Evan (twice), been out for lunch, done some clothes shopping, been to a children's party, been out for coffee with a friend, sorted Ross stuff out for his school trip, done the ironing and visited my hostess for Friday's party! Phew - now see why I need a rest!!

So here is a card I made like the one I shared with you yesterday, and thanks for visiting our Blog Hop by the way, but this time it uses a different product suite - Tea for Two!

This card was for my special friend Jane - we celebrated her birthday on Saturday! Can you see the Number 1 Friend??

I love making these style of cards and I am in the process of making one to go in a frame!

I'll share a couple more photos of all the elements.

I also decorated the inside with my new Amazing Family stamp set - very appropriate sentiment for Jane!

If you like the products I have used on this card then drop me a line and I can order some for you! Remember if your order is £45 or more you can choose an item for FREE from the list below!
