Jems Bloghop!!

Good Morning and welcome to our bloghop!

You should of come here from Debbi so Hello to you

Well seen as Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I have alot of orders to fill for this special day I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and make some of my orders for the Bloghop too.

I used Hearts a Flutter stamp set (pg 11 new seasonal) and i decided to make a little one sheet wonder in crumb cake, cherry cobbler and basic black with a hint of very vanilla and just craft away...I probably could of kept on going too!!

First up is a lovely gift bag made from a sheet of DSP, simply decorated with a strip of my made paper and a couple of 3d hearts and ribbon handles ( all my projects will fit in this no problem).

Then we have a few little cards to match although you can't see the shimmer on the tag it is there.

 This one is my favorite and think will send this to my other half with a slushy sentiment inside :)

Simple design but i love it and i really love this stamp set

Next i made a little pocket gift bag/box just big enough for a lip balm...got to have soft smooth lips as who knows how many smooches i'll get :0D (hope so anyway!)

These lovely delicate paper doilies are so adorable and add a little vintagy feel to any project.

Finally I made a little box to decorate and inside some yummy chocolate hearts for the someone special in my life (i'm thinking my little boy will eat these before his dad gets to them!! )

Here's a view of them all together...I certainly had alot of fun :)

Happy crafting!!

Well please click on the blinkies to take prev to Debbi and next to take you to Elizabeth's blog although if the chain does get broken the full list is below.

Blue Birthday

Good evening all

Another very windy here and bitterly cold day glad to be at home in the warm and craffting now my little one in bed :0)

I was asked to make a birthday card for a friends friend and her favorite colour is blue...this is what i came up with.

Used crumb cake, marina mist and baja breeze with my new morning post alphabet for the personalisation with Papillion potpourri butterflies.

some blinging gems and voila!!

I added  some pleated ribbon in baja breeze for some texture and a computer printed sentiment.

My friend liked it so hopefully the recipient will too.

thats all for now

happy crafting

50th Birhday!

Hi crafters

hope all is well where you are...weather thankfully is dry but cold so another reason to get crafting!! like i need the excuse...day that ends in y is always a crafty day :0)

Now i had a recent order for 6 x 50th Birthday cards and this is my favorite i think!!

Love the calypso coral and pool party colours, always brighten up a dull day dont you think!?!

Id seen this design on pintersest which i love almost as much as crafting but not quite and loved the simplicity of the layout.

Simply bawckground of calypso coral with 2 stripes of DSP topped with a non SU circle die and age in pool party...lovely!

Then i used the Elegant Butterfly punch and blinged up the middle and viola a lovely card for anyone to recieve, i think will be doing this in many colourways too as was very quick to do.

Take care and happy crafting

M is for merry

 Good Evening all

normality came crashing back to my life today as returned to work, running about after children and squeezing in chores as and when, the festive season being a distant memory :(

So thought id still post an xmas picture...my downline Angela sent me a gorgeous card pictured below,she is very talented!!

unfortunately my pictures arent great sorry but you can see how lovely it is and i love the little tag effect.

Angela even sent a little present ( sooo kind of you thanks) and it was in a matching gift box, i have had many comments on it over festive period as on my mantel piece.

Again my pic isnt great

quick post from me, still tons to do as always

Take care and happy crafting
