good afternoon on this lovely sunday :)
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend i am relaxing today with the family with only a little bit of crafting!
I have been inundated with customers for these gorgeous exploding boxes and this one in particular am proud of...wasnt too sure of the colours but they work well togeher, very striking.
Although I have not used SU papers/cardstock the i heart hearts stamp snook in there and looks fab along with just a sprinkle of basic rhinestones too.
When contacting my customer to inform box and some easter gifts she had also requested were ready she wondered if i could come up with a money wallet for the same wedding...i did and this is the result...they look fab together!!




I do hope the bride and groom like them as much as my customer did!!!
Thats it from me for now...off to craft whilst little one in bed for a nap!!
Take care

Another quickie card using pear pizazz, certainly celery DSP the retired SAB sweet summer set an lots of little pearls for my flower centres which were coloured with marina mist marker.

Well ive finally jumped in with both feet...have been thinking about scrapbooking for a while now and after encouragement from my SU mummy ive finally done it!!
I have made a start on my album and have a scrapbook class on tuesday :0) fingers crossed will go well!!
This page turned out much better than pictured in my head...love the colours of sahara sand textured paper and bashful blue DSP and ive finally figured out my crop o dile...birthday present from my mum ( thanks mum xx) so has eyelets in the corners too



My second page was from the same holiday to Spain in october 2007 with the famuily and we found a little beachfront bar with the most amazing cocktails hence the title of the page!




Again playing with my crop o dile...dont know why didnt get one ages ago as love eyelets!!! nice summery colours on this page of peach parfait, daffodil delight, sunny garden papers with just a touch of sweet and sour papers too, used my flower accent stamp and schoolbook serif alphabet.
Am very pleased with the outcome as first attempt
Thats all for now
take care

Tuesday 1 March 2011

Well ive had quite a good crafty day today, made a few gift bags and wrapping paper and put the finishing touches to this exploding box for a friend to give to her friend for her wedding.
Colour scheme of orange and red with a bit of bronze too and ha used some elements from my SU stuff like the butterflies from Bliss and some glamour dust to give them some sparkle!

Also added some not so basic pearls...dont know why they are called 'basic' because they are anything but.

I love this...have made a few of these recently but i think this one is my favorite, love the strings of pearls around the layers of the cake and the little bronze roses adorning the top i have blinged up a little with some rhinestones and pearls

overall view of the whole thing below and really hope my friend likes it...will find out tomorrow :-)





Am sure she will!!
thats all for me today...better go and tidy the mess ive made whilst crafting the day away
Take care
