A stress free card!!!

You know what it's like when one of your children say can you make me a card Mum it's my friends birthday and you follow with the silly line of "When"!!!

Today!! and she's 21, well this was at lunch time!! Couldn't you just K*** them! lol

So out came my stash and Magnolia stamps and this is what I came up with, I think actually the less time you have to worry about the design the better the finished card.

I used a brown bling bazzil, bo-bunny dotty swiss and a sheet from my stash!!! The colours all looks fab together.

I punches the two border with a Valentine lace Martha Stewart punch. Cut out two circles with my nesties and the flowers are Prima with some bo-bunny brads in the middle and my new branch punch!! (My last one broke and I have been lost without it but as usually Lynne came to the rescue) xx and the two beautiful heart pins in just the perfect colours also from The Craft Den.

Used my pearl pen to do a bit of a flourish and added my new little colibries aren't they just adorable!! Some checked ribbon from stash and the 21st was white but sprayed with Walnut Gold Glimmer mists.


Happy 21st Emily xxx

Week 12 Over at Anything Goes is 3 Layers!!

Well here is my DT work for week 12 at Anything Goes the theme this week is three layers!!

Think this is OK I have used three layers of Prima paper (all from the Craft Den) mixed with Bo-Bunny dotty and what beautiful paper it is too!!! Then again I have a beautiful picture of my niece Kerry & her husband Martin.

Used the co-ordinating flowers added with extra ones from Lynne at the Craft Den edged with red stickles and a beautiful zava bling flourish and hearts punched with my large MS and lovely heart pins.

Added red glass hearts here and there and loads of stickles.

Baby Love xxxxx

Couldn't resist these beautiful photo's that I took a few weeks ago of "Summer" for last nights layout they just went beautifully on the gorgeous layout Lynne had designed last night!!

Lynne's also had her Granddaughter Ava with Granddad but the pictures where printed off in black & white and looked "Stunning"


The papers we used where Paper Adventure in the Prima Vera range!! with some black bazzil for the contrast.
We cut the spotted paper out into a circle with a colour my world template and inked the edges with DI's Lettuce and attached the circle so that it went off the edge we then doodled around the edge with a black pen.


Cut out the hearts and layered two on plain bazzil we went round them with Glossy Accents I placed mine on top of my page as the flower was too large and covered up my baby!!

The other hearts we used as a flower and added drops of glossy accents and sepia accents.

A tied piece of ribbon and "Baby Love@ title it's finished and I love it!!

A beautiful "Handbag"

I know I always say it, but here goes again I had a great night last night at the Craft Den!

We did this beautiful tag handbag in Bo-Bunny "Alissa" papers (I think).

We covered the handbag and inked all the edges. We punched out the flowers and added the paper candy to the centre's.


When I got home I added this little touch of "Bling" and a few butterflies.

You can see the little pockets inside all ready for photo's or just to decorate.

Back to the Den again tonight for my weekly Scrapbook Class and therapy!!! lol.

Late posting of WOYWW

A late posting for WOYWW!!

I think I really need to give up work with this one as I can never get round all the desks!!! Pop over to Julia's for more information on the best nosey ever.

I have finished my drawers from last week and with the left overs I am going to cover these SMA tins are I have now collected quite a few!! lol

Week 11 at Anything Goes

Well it's week 11 over at Anything Goes and the theme is the letter "A".

Mine is Altered Art!!! lol "Alice (Halloween) in Wonderland"

I knew straight away when I layered my eyes on these fabulous papers that Lynne had in at the Craft Den that they belonged to me!!! You can see the full range available at the Craft Den here!

It's Halloween in Wonderland so beautiful and such gorgeous colours. I purchased these drawers last year from Ikea and they where calling out for attention so these perfect papers that look fabulous with the eggplant dabber I have used on the box came out to play.


Think I have lined the keyhole up well on the drawers and I have cut different parts of the theme out of the paper and layered them onto the backing papers.

A side view which shows the purple with the mad hatter's hat!

The top where I have torn the papers another fab design with the Mad Hatter himself on and inked the edges with DI's.

Well last night Lynne did this fantastic layout with Bo-Bunny "Jazmyne" papers for us all to follow!! You can view Lynne's finished layout here.

We used load of different punches for the flowers, large butterfly & small.

Tim Holt's tattered floral die for the large flower and small punched ones for the centres.

We used loads of stickles and the Ice White Pearle Pen for the centre of the flowers and to add dimension to other flowers on the paper. Also used a fabulous green bling flourish from Zva.

You can see better here the use of the pearl pen.

To finish off this is little Summer who will be 4months this Sunday and has not been well this week but here she is all snuggled up in her dressing gown and can still manage a smile for her Nan.

Tuesday morning at the craft den

As I've been off for the last two weeks I have managed to go down to Lynne's for tuesday mornings card class. Had two lovely mornings and stayed for lunch each time had to make the most of my me time as there hasn't been much of it really.

This is this weeks easel card, sorry thought I'd got pictures of last weeks and hadn't so if I think on will add later. The card is with a sugar nellie Gorjuss girl and basic grey origins papers.

Will loads of added stickles and a punched butterfly and flowers.
