Make a Wish

Woah what a busy weekend I had this weekend. On Friday evening I ran my first Stamp a Stack at The Paper Haven then on Saturday I hosted an All Day Project Life Day and yesterday I organised a Baby Shower for my lovely friend Anna. All the events went really well and I will make sure I update with photos later in the week.
Today's share is a card from Friday evening's Stamp a Stack event. It was totally CASED from Artisan Team Member Jessica Winter, you can see her originals HERE. I love Washi Tape but I often don't use it enough and just leave it sitting pretty on display and this cards makes me happy as it makes me use it (but only a little bit of it!)
 I love the colours in this product suite and I will be making more like this to have in my stash of cards for personal birthdays.
If you fancy getting your hands on this suit then I have just created a new code for April's Online Code Club shoppers.
Thanks for visiting

Creation Station Spring Flowers


 Hello there and welcome to April's Creation Station Blog Hop showcasing the Botanical Gardens suite or Spring Flowers in general. You may have joined me from Julie B's blog, can't wait to see what she made! I have to admit to having had a bit of a Botanical overload with my ReTREAT days so I opted for an alternative floral design. You may have picked up from me that I LOVE the Birthday Bouquet papers and I am already a little sad that they will leave us at the end of May. I think they have been one of the best papers we have ever done and I plan to make lots more with them before they go!
For this card I used the Brushstrokes background stamp and Blushing Bride ink and set to cutting our all the flowers from the papers. A useful tip that I got from my lovely team member Sarah-Jane, was that don't think the non-full flowers will got to waste, you can still cut those out and add them to the sides or corners of your card like I have done here. 
The gold emboss powder made a come back and I used the Watercolour Words which I love for a nice big sentiment as the main feature on a card. 
Hope you like this little floral number, a bit of an alternative to stamping flowers!

Please use the Back and Next buttons to follow the whole hop, next up is the awesome Kimberley Van Diepen. 
Have a great Sunday!

Beautiful Bag

Good Morning. I have been having a few technical issues today with the site that I use for editing my photos so I have just had to go with them as they are today as I don't have time to figure out what the problem is! Last week we made these lovely big bags designed by Caroline Hallett at my ReTREAT day and when I demonstrated one on the Wednesday I used these lovely papers and then afterwards I thought, gosh how lovely does it look in that design.
SO..... I have added 3 sessions to make a big bag, small bag and a card with a full pack of papers included. The dates and payment button can be found on my Classes and Events page or they can be found on my Facebook Events page HERE. I am offering a Wednesday morning, Wednesday evening and Saturday morning session, so hopefully catering for all!
Would love to see you at a session and show you how to make this
