baggy book

Good afternoon crafters!

long time no blog!! Ive been sooo busy over last few weeks that really just have not stopped so i apologise for the lack of posts, hopefully am getting more organised and back on track :0)

Anyway i attended all day team training in Pudsey last weekend which was fab as always and that saw the return of the 'baggy book'!! I love these as showcase a product and just a selection of the things you can do with it.

Todays turn was Papillion Potpourri...now im not a butterfly person and only ordered this for the training day but have found myself using it over and over again and its safe to say ive been converted!!

Crumb cake - another of my favorites! and raspberry ripple were used on this my favorite card in the baggy book!

I apologise for the poor photo quality - silly me put the book all together before i photographed them so the flash bounces off the poly bags sorry :0(

the Fancy fan embossing folder adds all the detail to the background with a stamped butterfly and sprinkling of gems and a gorgeous vintage faceted button to the middle of butterfly and voila!! lovely!!

I even stamped a little butterfly on the bag topper to extend the details

very nice

thats it from me

take care and happy crafting

leaving card

Good morning all

Quick post for today lots to do and am busy getting ready for a workshop on the 19th october - realised when sorting order from new catty out that most of my displays have something retired on it so have to have huge overhaul!! any excuse for a crafty session :0)

Along with that trying to get ahead andoctober/november very busy birthday months for us and im way behind!

Anyway i had to say goodbye to a friend at work this week, she is retiring due to ill health and really going to miss her so we had a leaving do on friday and this is her card, also made her gift bag and decorated the giftbox but will show you these another time 

i used basic grey, very vanilla with a zing of wild wasabi and attempted a new ribbon flower that my neice taught me to do...very pleased with the result and lynn loved it!!

Good Luck Lynn, keep in touch

New seasonal!!

Good evening all

A bit of a late post from me today as been to a funday at my son's nursery...lots of fun had by all and thankfully the weather was dry and sunny for a change.

Then had to catch up on the chores around the house...its been a little neglected this past week as been sooooo busy.

and then to top it all off not only do we have a huge Stampin' Up! retirement list but also the new Seasonal catalogue went live today too!!!

Its all GO!!

Firstly the new seasonal catalogue is Autumn/Winter combined instead of the mini's we are used to having and is full to brimming of fabulous goodies, all very scrummy!!

Too many to choose from like

all thats needed to make these fantastic baubles

and absolutly tons more!!

Thats not all either on a sad note alot and i mean alot of things are retiring never to be seen again and once they have gone they are gone for good :0(



Well thats it from me today, time for a cuppa and sit down with my SU catty and decide on what im ordering next.

have a lovely evening all

take care and happy crafting

wisteria wonder birthday

Good morning crafters

A wet day here today so perfect excuse for crafting...not that i need one :0)

ive been plodding my way through lots of orders at the moment...weddings as well as everyday cards etc! busy busy busy thats me!!

Todays offering is a very simple and quick, my motto it seems at the moment but lovely card for a birthday.

it uses a non SU backing paper but wisteria wonder matches it perfectly to highlight the sentiment which i printed, then used to make a flower with the fun flowers die.

Embossed flowers with perfect polka dots folder and used the little leaves in the new in colour gumball green...available from October 1st 2012, very nice!

Look at the height of the flower it really stands out from the card which is lovely, added the details with a nonb SU button and obligatory bling.

hopefully the recipient will like it

take care

happy crafting
