Good Morning all
 
WOW! a week has passed already...in the blink of an eye to be honest!!
 
 
Well for once in the last few weeks I do not have a childrens party to attend today just lunch with the mother-in-law :0) and its a beautiful day here so am looking forward to spending some time out in the sunshine too.
 
 
Today I am showing you the lovely little earring holder gifts I made for the ladies I work with...we are a family there and I appreciate them all for the help and love they have given me over a difficult few months sojust wanted them to know that with a cute pair of earrings.
 

 
I used smoky slate embossed with modern mosaic and cut with circle framelets, then stamped using petal parade in smoky slate and punched 2 holes for the earrings to fit in.

 
I stamped an image from chalk talk in various colours to match the earrings and to suit each of the recipients.
 
And here they are all together...lovely.

 
The ladies loved them!!
 
Happy crafting and have a lovely day wherever you are.

Good Morning all
 
 
Quick post from me today as busy day ahead filled with childrens parties!!
 
I love the clean and simple look to cards and this project will be entered into this fortnight challenge over on Fantasy Stampers
 
The challenge is Clean and Simple so here goes...
 
 
I used the babywipe technique with reinkers to get the beautiful multi-coloured effect to the flowers stamped using petite petals and punched out with the matching punch...no fussy cutting for me!!
Stamped simple background using gorgeous grunge.

 
Sentiment stamped using petite pairs...bit of a petite them going on don't you think :-)
and gem to the centre of the flowers!!
 
You can see the effect on the flowers better on this close up picture.

 
Happy crafting

Afternoon Crafters
 
A lovely day here today...gardening is calling but needed to make a few things before I do that!!
 
A friend has a special birthday coming up and we have bought many gifts for her so obviously we needed some packaging suitable for her special birthday. This is what I came up with...
 
 
I decorated a large SU kraft box using so saffron DSP all around as well as having yet another go at using my spiral flower die...I have really struggled to get to grips with this as my flowers never seemed to look right :(
 
 
I stamped gorgeous grunge  in crumb cake on very vanilla and mounted on black to make it stand out added my flowers in so saffron, perfect plum and blushing bride along with pear pizazz leaves and tiny pearls dotted about.
 
You can just about see the jumbo pearls I used at the centre of the flowers and the sentiment is from Chalktalk stamped in baked brown sugar.

 
Love it!!
 
Happy crafting guys
