Tea for Two!

Firstly sorry for the lack of posts lately, I was trying to be a good blogger and post regularly but somehow I went a stray (eek!) Not only have I not blogged I haven't really found much time to craft either (what's happening!) I did however find time to visit the "Happy Stampers" stamp

festival yesterday at Port Sunlight and picked up a few bits and pieces (as you do ;) and I actually made this card about a week ago and have only just managed to take a photo - how sad :( So I am entering this card in the challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey were the theme is to make a friendship card. I am now lucky enough to own 3 PTI stamp sets (woohoo!) this one "Tea for Two" being my latest addition, it's just lovely and comes with so many different sentiments.

Hope you all have a good week:)

Wedding Invitation Swap

Just thought I'd pop these on. I made them to join in with a swap on the ILWS forum, we had to design a wedding invite that would be easy to replicate in large numbers and this is my take. I did receive some lovely ones back - thank you ladies ;)

Flight of the Butterfly

I was blog hopping a few days ago, well, could be even a week ago now....lol and I came across a card and the background was made using a butterfly stamp and a skeleton one that matched not unlike our SU set Flight of the Butterfly, so I thought, I can do that and this is the end result. It's not too bad but I think had the butterfly been a bit smaller it would have had a better effect, all said and done I don't think it looks too bad.




And on that note I am going to enter it for the challenge over at Stamp With Us were the theme is "Birthday."

Well I think we've been pretty lucky with the weather over the bank holiday, it could have been worse, hope you all had a good one,

take care :)

Trust Me!

Only I could arrange a card class on "bank holiday" weekend when everyone is either away or doing something (what a clown) and that's exactly what happened today with my class (aaah!) Well 3 ladies said they were coming but only 2 turned up and 3 said they would still like to come to the class and so we have rescheduled for next weekend, so all is not lost, we live and learn ;)

Well this is what the ladies made today and thoroughly enjoyed it and that's what counts plus I got another order so it was worth it :)




We used the flower fusion as I sometimes think it gets forgotten about and the colours are fab especially when they are teamed with the matching cardstock.

Well enjoy the rest of the long weekend peeps,
