It's a lovely sunny day here and the boys are off out so will do my best to get caught up with lots of things including having a little crafty time too :0)

A HUGE FLOW BOOK!!!
 
(Squeals of excitement from me)
 
 
Look how thick that is!! Its full of absolutely loads of gorgeous stuff!


Below is the beginning page telling you what you can do/make
 
It is jam packed and todays crafty time will probably be dedicated to playing with this foremost


Lovely little postcards but the picture does not do them justice as they are embossed and glittered and oh so lovely!!

Hi crafters
 
I actually made this card set at training the weekend before with my fab SU mummy Julie
using the Watercolour Wings set.
 
Now this set wasn't really for me I bought it for training and was going to raffle it off at a later date but I fell in love and am waiting for my dies to match to arrive then I warn you it will be like attack of the butterflies!!!
 
They are soo lovely I did try to cut some out after stamping but I am NOT into fussy cutting at all so please watch this space in the meantime I will let these gorgeous cards do the talking o to speak...
 

 
This involves 3 step stamping which is so easy using the photopolymer stamps and the colour combos are endless and so very pretty. 


 
Happy Tuesday and crafting everyone

Morning all
 
Another week and the end of June is fast approaching WOW how time flies!!
 
Today I wanted to show you the very simple Fathers day tag and paper in made for my dad using the sadly retired mustache die as my dad is a mustache and beard man :0)
 
 
I added some speckle to the tag made using crumb cake and the scallop tag topper punch simple greeting and a very sparkly mustache!! So cute!! My dad loved it.
 
 
 I used the die to draw around to make shapes all over brown paper and coloured in to make my own paper


 
How cool is that!!
 
Dad said it was a shame to unwrap :0)
 
Happy crafting

Hello
 
Happy Father's Day
to those wonderful dad's that are with us as well as those in our memories!
 
We have a weekend of kid's birthday parties and I made one of my son's friends this as part of her gift.
 
 
I used the Flower patch and some subtle gorgeous grunge in the background with the flower heads in Amina's favourite colours ( according to my son anyway).
 
Obviously all girls love a bit of bling so added to the centres.

 
Hope happy birthday's had by all this weekend.
 
Happy crafting

Good morning all
 
 A damp and drissly day here and the workmen are already up and at it building me a new fence...rather them than me not quite the weather I had hoped for!
 
So on to a bright and cheery card using the same colour combo and papers as the last few days.
This was a commission for a friend who needed a Welsh birthday greeting with the template as...jut pretty! I think I lived up to that :-)
 
 
 
Simple layout and just added a little bit of subtle shimmer to the birthday cake.

 I hope Eva Grace likes it as much as my friend's mum did.
 
Happy crafting

Good Morning all
 
I had meant to schedule this post yesterday as I was training with the fabulous Julie's Jem's in Pudsey but it totally slipped my mind in my effort to get organised so I am sharing my swaps with you today.
 
I had the idea from the garden wall from my parents house has the cutest little flowers growing on it and now we have the fab brick wall effect embossing folder had to use it!!
 
I embossed the Kraft bags and the hostess set Floral Wings. I stamped the leaves on randomly and added a so saffron itty bitty flower punch with pearl centre.
 
Inside the bag was a simple card using the same stamp set and dash of gorgeous grunge.

 
You can see the great effect of the emboss folder better here I know I will using this a lot!!

 
That's me for today I will be back with more makes from the day :0)
 
Off to craft now!!
 
Happy crafting

Wow I an not believe it's Thursday already it has been such a busy week and my plans for tonight involve crafting...making swaps for a training day on Saturday to be precise so pop back to see my offerings at the weekend.
 
On to today I love this set and could not wait to have a go with it and a quick make for a friend was on the cards so voila...
 
 
I used Build a birthday with some bright colours and added some itty bitty flowers that I stamped with the animal print heart from Groovy love - the recipient loves animal print so very apt :0)
 
Colours include calypso coral, pool party, crushed curry, cucumber crush and Bermuda bay.
 
All as always topped with a bit of bling...I would be lost without my gems lol!!
 
 

Well wishing you all a good day
