A Wedding Card

Good afternoon, just a quick post and card today.  Am shortly off to a wedding reception as my teamie and friend Georgina, is getting married today.
 
Here is the card that I have made Georgina and David.
 
 
Have used this gorgeous Lili of the Valley stamp and some Craftwork Cards papers.  The little tag sentiment is a favourite from Stamping Up.  I have coloured the card in using Promarker's.
 
I will be back in the morning with two projects to show you, see you then.
 
Happy Sunday!

Good morning,
 
Here is a very quick little card made using one of the gorgeous new peel-off design's from Little Claire.
 
 
Our Gill over at Little Claire's designs has just released nine wonderful new designs  of  outline stickers (only 70p each) and for the release, if you let us know at Little Claire's designs your scariest SPIDER moment(s) and we will draw three lucky winners to each win all nine new stickers!

Entries to be received by Monday 1st July 2013
 
This is what Gill has to say about her moment..
 
mine is we used to live in Germany and the washing machine was kept down in the cellar, well one day (when Steve was away - typical) I ran down, always ran to avoid cobwebs etc, put washing in, quickly opened the drawer to add powder and there, filling up the whole drawer was the biggest spider I have ever seen! I did scream, ran back upstairs and it took me ages to go back again, so pleased that my machine is now in the kitchen.......
 
Well, I have had far too many scary spider moments to mention on here, I do admit to hovering them up when I can which I know isn't kind or fair on the little devils. My cat CoCo does like to eat them, so hopefully I won't be seeing too many more of them :)
 
My lovely Jess is having her Prom this evening, so we have a day of shopping and pampering ahead and then am so looking forward to my lovely friend and teamie Georgina's wedding on Sunday, so another busy weekend ahead for me.
 
Have a wonderful one yourself,
 
hugs

A Sympathy Card

 
Good morning, hope you are having a lovely Sunday? Am spending mine crafting and some general pet grooming too.  I tend to give all of my little pets a make-over each Sunday, well clip their claws, brush them and generally check them over.  They all look fluffy and happy now, especially as I have stripped the garden of every dandelion for them, so time for some DT work that needs to be finished.
 
I am sharing a card that we made on my last class, another card to follow.  My ladies made this card, which is quite plain & simple, which sympathy cards need to be, I think. We used a gorgeous 'Kanban' Rose & sentiment set.  I just love it! I am so sad that Kanban are no longer with us, so am buying all of their stamps up fast, most of which I have managed to get at bargain prices.
 
I have stamped the little sentiment in the corner of my card and the second part of the sentiment inside along with another decoupaged rose.  Then added some gorgeous black shiny beads.
 
Must fly, washing has been in and out all day, looks like I may have to get it in for good this time, large black cloud approaching fast!
 
Have a great day, thanks for stopping by my blog.

White Class Card

Good evening,
just thought I would share a card that my ladies made at my class last week.  I was challenged by my lovely friend Tina to do an all white card, so as I am always up for a challenge, here is the result lol!
 
 
I really enjoyed making this, and am thinking I will be doing a few more different designs.
 
Am looking forward to going out for coffee and a gossip with my lovely brother in the morning, may even partake in a large piece of coffee cake, ooo I know how to push the boat out :)
 
Will share another class make tomorrow.
 
Have a great evening, thanks for stopping by,

Little Lilac Mice

 
Good morning, Happy Monday to you!
 
Here is a quick little card that I have made for 'Little Claire Likes', which is over on their blog today.  I have given product details and instructions on my card in the post.
 
It is using the uber-cute little 'Mice in Squares' that Little Claire launched recently.  I do love these images, but having recently had mice in our loft which were keeping us awake most of the night, I won't be having any as pets, anyway I think that Molly & CoCo would be having them for breakfast!
 
Off out shopping with my Jess today, she recently left school so it's lovely to be spending so much time with her before she goes to Six Form in the Autumn.
 
Whatever you are doing, have a great day.  Thank so much for stopping by and any comments you may leave me.
 
hugs

Little Claire Blog Project

 
Good morning, yippee it's Friday! Am off out for the day in a minute, the seaside beckons and I know the weather isn't great, I am just looking forward to sitting on the beach with fish & chips and enjoying the view!
 
It's my turn to do the blog project today over at Little Claire.  I have made a super-cute little post-it-note holder using scraps from my box of card.  It is only 6cms x 6cms. They are great little gifts for teachers or just to say thank you to someone special.

 
The image used is one of my absolute favs from Little Claire, it is called 'Pincushion Birdy' and it is only £2.00 on the website, such a bargain!
 
Also, I wanted to wish my dear friend and boss Gill a very
 
Happy 50th Birthday!
 
Hope you have a wonderful day sitting in the sunshine in Italy with a large glass of something fizzy!
 
Have a lovely weekend,
 
big hugs

Butterfly Flourish Card

 
 
Good afternoon, just a little post today as I am busy prepping for my class tomorrow.
 
I am sharing a card using the gorgeous June Club set from Little Claire.  It's called 'Butterfly Flourish'.  I have also used a little 'Dinky' stamp, called 'Flowerhead' that Little Claire recently brought out.  They have chosen some of their favourite images and have shrunk them down to by 'dinky' lol.
 
Right, large coffee and back to the prep.
 
Have a lovely afternoon!

Little Claire Workshop Cards - Part II

Good evening, here are my other two cards from the workshops from the weekend.
 
Firstly, I have used 'Mice in Squares' with some gorgeous Craft Creation's papers and some great little dies.
 

Secondly, 'Cherish, Hope & Dreams' used with a gorgeous check paper and have inked all edges and decopaged the smaller butterfly.

 
Here is the inside.

 
I am now aching from lots of gardening I did today, mowing and weeding. It has been so hot here I had to leave the gardening to this afternoon. 
 
Off to catch up with Springwatch and my soaps.
 
Have a great evening!

Little Claire Workshop Cards - Part I

 
Good evening, here are a couple of the Little Claire workshop cards that the ladies made over last weekend at Kent & Crawley.
 
Firstly, 'Tulip Cat'.  She is such a gorgeous image, I love colouring her in!
 
Secondly, 'Butterfly Blossom' which as to be one of my fav all time images.
 

Here is the centre of the card, where I have stamped randomly around the shape and have added a cute little LC sentiment, which goes so well.
 
 
Am suffering from sunburn this evening, I had a lovely couple of hours in a local park including a fabby lunch with some great company :)  I forgot to slap on the SPF before I went out, so I will be suffering tonight.
 
Back tomorrow with my other two cards, thanks for stopping by my blog.

Butterfly Flourish

 
Good evening, hope you have been enjoying the sunshine today?
 
Am really tired due to working all weekend at the two fantastic days of Little Claire workshops, one in Kent and one is Crawley.  The ladies were so wonderful and great fun. Roll on Autumn, when we will be doing some more.  I will be sharing my cards that we made, later in the week.
 
Here is my DT card for Little Claire, using the fabulous new stamp set called 'Butterfly Flourish'.  It is the brand new June Club Set.  I really love the size of these images and it has two wonderful borders and a sweet sentiment.  I have made my card into a slider, so the large butterfly slides up and down on the top of my card.
 
Off to finish another card which I will share with your in the morning.
 
Have a lovely evening!
