Chocolate

I love these Inkadinkadoo mini stamps - they're such fun. Combined this wth some Kanban card and Nesties

Naming Day Card

I made this for someone a work who's niece was having her naming day

Black and White

I got this layout after attending a craft class and just had to have this Penny Black stamp

Side Step Forest Friends

I made this for my niece's Birthday next week but also for this months challenge on the imag-e-nation website. I wanted to use the Forest Friends stamps from Stampin Up but wasn't sure what layout to use. This worked just perfectly. Also used Coredinations cardstock which is great as there are so many shades of each colour. The verse is just computer printed and the fence is an Impress die

I've been a bad blogger

and several people have pointed it out! So to show that I am still alive, here are a couple of cards:



This was made for a girl at work using a Forever Friends sticker and Nesties. The corners are embossed using a brass stencil but don't show up too well








The stamp is Raining Daisy's by Penny Black. The stamp was used like this in a class I went to at the Glitter Pot with Gaynor White some while ago and of course I had to buy it.

My First Stampin' Up! Card

This was made with my first ever Stampin' Up! stamps - the Forest Friends set. I used the tree as a background stamp and the lovely deer stamp. The fence is a Impress die - a bargain for £1.99 at the Range

Artstamps show at Newbury

Had a great day yesterday at the craft show at Newbury with Crafty Pat. I got a few bargains but the best was a free stamp set from Little Claire. I'd asked them if they could desugn some more little bee stamps and they have done - really cute ones. Their project club this month is also based around bees http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/productdetails.asp?ID=574



I did go a little bit mad on the spending front yesterday - but hey, it's payday next week so I won't have to starve for long! Here's a picture of what I bought:

Flippin Men - Walkies

I made this for a friend of Derrick's. They go walking every week and the walks are always based around a pub or two. I scanned the map of their favorite walk as a background and use the decoupage on an acetate wrap. The inside of the card reads "... there's always another pub!"

Happy Birthday Andy
