Card class

I was fortunate to go to karen's first  recent card class which was fab here are the two cards made from the kit.

15 days and still making cards!

I had a few hrs to my self during the week and needed to catch up with some xmas cards so made some nice reindeer cards with an ek success punch, lots of glitter some nesties and some candi oh and some more glitter :-)

Postcard

I recently decorated a postcard for a birthday and this is the postcard element.

I stamped the image which is an artistic stamper stamp then coloured it red to colour the script. 

I then distressed the background first with antique linen then embossed the cogs and stencilled keys using vintage photo and brushed cord on the three cogs and round the edges.

Snowmen

I seem to be making cards of just one or two colours and colours that I wouldn't normally pick - like green. This is probably one of my favourite cards so far this year.

Xmas xmas xmas

Well so much for 2 posts a week although have been ill!  However it might ne easier now I have the blogger app on my phone.

I have still been making xmas cards the following card was inspired by a friend and my nestability dies.

demans demands :)

I love the Tim Holtz snowflake rossette die (large size) as I mentioned them to a good friend the other day I thought I had better put a pic on just to prove to her I do review my blog... you know who you are ;)

Anyway all I have done to the following snowflakes is distress them and the white and black one have some glamour dust applied.

Here is a card that I have done with the stampersanonymous blueprint xmas tree stamp, with a snowflake.  The background is a distressed stamped docrafts stamp.

gingerbread and snowman

I have been tasked to blog twice a week!  so her are a couple of xmas cards I have made.

The first one is of gingerbread men in a jar it was a free stamp with a magazine. 

 The second card is using the snow man previously shown but used in a card.

new stamps :O

A couple of days ago I went craft shopping with a good friend... probably not such a good idea as I couldn't help myself especially when it came to these xmas stamps from stampersanonymous:

There's 4 stamps the one i haven't included is a snowflake.

For the above I have stamped them using momento brown onto cream card and distressed round the edges with vintage photo

distressed

The first is a docrafts stamp which at some point hopefully before xmas ill use on a card somehow lol:

 The following is stamp of town with just yellow and a little orange colour:

The following pic is stamped with a lavinia stamp of a bridge with distress inks use for the sky followed by a little glamour dust.  the frame is memory box die.

like buses

two come at once. 

This is the first of two blogs.  Here is my first attempt at a completed xmas card.  The image is a digi stamp that a friend printed off for me.  Coloured in with copics.

Photo's added

I have got my large amount of brown paper bags with scrapbook kits (12x12) down to a handful!!  Don't mention all the other projects...

I now have over two boxes of scrapbook pages that need photos so here are a few that I have recently added photo's to all that's left is the journalling:

 The first layout was from a class where we had to pick our own papers, i've had this layout for ages without pics as I liked it so much and didn't know what to do with it!!  I decided on the pics because they were taken in autumn on a visit to Prague.

.

 
I have a number of pages made from these papers which were all taken in Ibiza here are a couple:

The following layout had the pic chosen by a friend I added a couple of other photo's that hopefully hide the fact that I stuck the papers on wonky :)

 I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to scan a lot of the families older pics this is one of my mum taken in the 70's which I have scrapped before but I love the pic.  On this layout the pic is the same one is colour and one is black and white

This is my first scrapbook page of baby who is now 6 months old and limits the amount of crafting I get done!

It's been so long...

I forgot my password!!

When i've had the chance to craft I have been finishing off scrapbook pages from projects over the years from classes at scrapbook sisters.

Anyway I now have two boxes full of pages that need photo's and still a bag full of unfinished pages! and that doesn't include the mini books and other projects :O

Here are a couple of layouts I have recently added photo's to:

In class I occasionally do my own thing with the papers when I come to complete the pages i sometimes have all manner of papers left over so I created this page with papers left - the photo's are shop windows in Prague which were fab.  The flowers are a mixture from my stash with candi as the centres and a little gloss accents on the petals for drops of water.

The following page is the same as a class layout with the addition of watch parts from my stash.  The pic is taken in Prague.

It's been a while

It's been a while since my last post.  Since my last post i have given birth to a baby boy who we called Harrison he is now 12 weeks old and quiet cute :).

Anyway I am still crafting i've been trying to catch up on unfinished class projects and trying to do the challenge cards but not quiet finishing them or getting them posted on time.  So this week over at scrapbook sisters its anything goes for their card challenge so this is my card:

 

The paper is Bo Bunny, the clock face is a Tim Holtz die and the stamped image in the clock is Indigoblu stamp, her hair is glittered with glamour dust.

Bottom right of the clock is some small metal cogs which I purchased from ebay here's a pic of the cogs up close:
