Cheers to You

Gosh I forgot to post yesterday!! OOOpppppss!!
Last night Robin and I went out to see Strictly Come Dancing on Tour! It was a fab night and Matt Baker was amazing, loved it all!! Was only able to go because 2 of my lovely friends offered to have one each of our boys for the night so Robin and I could go out!!
I have been playing with Cheers to You which is a set I bought at the very first workshop I attended back in March 2008, and I still LOVE it!! One of my new girls in my team, Shazza, has chosen this in her Starter Kit so I am coming up with a few designs for her to get started!!
I have mostly used the Brights colour family with the exception of the card blank which is Pretty in Pink. I have coloured the drinks in with the ink pads and the blender pen and the colours are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo.

I added a flat bow but this time I made it from paper rather than ribbon and I used the Brights Designer Paper Stack, just love these stacks, such good value!


Hope you like my bright and cheery card. The sun is shining here today, I have had to turn the heater down in the conservatoire!!


Got a scrap class tonight, 4 lovely ladies coming to my house (inc my Mum!!)

Bliss for Pauline

Good morning
I am sat here a little bit sad and upset as some stupid (probably a youth) person has been out last night and scratched both mine and Robin's cars. Robin's has come off worse. I am so cross, you seemimgly can't own anything nice these days
Anyway onto happier occasions! My dancing friend Pauline is having her birthday tomorrow so I made her a card. She doesnt read my blog so I am safe!
Its made with the gorgeous Bliss set you get free with a £45 spend.
I used my new Colour Coach to come up with the combo of Pink PIrouette, Baja Breeze and Early Espresso
I added some lovely pearls for a classy look.

I hope Pauline likes it!
Sorry for not much chat today, I don't really feel like it this morning with the car situation!
Back tomorrow a bit more perkier!

Every Little Bit

Good morning!!
I had such a lovely day crafting with a lovely lovely friend but I will have to tell you about that another day as I am in a rush to take Evan dancing in 40 minutes!
So yesterday I made 3 cards, all very different, and this is one of them using the Every Little Bit stamp set.
This stamp set on page 33 is great, its a bit of an investment but you get loads of stamps, perfect for children to do crafting and also for scrapbooking too! The little stamps make great backgrounds.

I used a colour combo of Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink and Rich Razzleberry. The card black is 12 cm square and the 3 squares just fit across perfectly!


I decorated inside too!! I dont need this card until March, how organised is that!!!


Right I must go and get ready.
Please dont forget my All Day Crafting Event on 12th February. It is in the LS28 area of Leeds and all are welcome.
