Happy Birthday Butterflies

Hi Guys

Todays card is for a friend of mine and so I wanted to make it a little bit special.  She is definitely an outdoorsy person, dog walking and horse riding etc  so I've opted for a little bit of the outdoors on her card in the shape of butterflies.

The colour combination here is Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder, both In Colours.  I've chosen a step card to showcase the butterflies and the First Edition stunning Designer Series Paper.  Love it!

Hope you like it

Good Morning!
I cant believe it has been 2 weeks since I posted, oh dear.  I need to be a little bit more organised but I have been crafting, yes indeedy I have been crafting.

I had my Wednesday card class with "The Usual Suspects" haha, what a bunch!  Craft nights feel more like a girls night out (sans the vino, of course) with all the laughing and shenanigans!  We had a new lady join us too and it was great how she slotted right in with the others ;o)  What a rowdy bunch they are!!  All joking aside they did work very hard and produce some lovely items.  So here are some pictures of what we created.


These are cute little sour cream containers (not sure if there is an actual name for them).  The ladies chose Blushing Bride & Concord Crush from the In Colours Designer Paper Series and as you can see, its gorgeous.  This clever bunch also added their own flavour making them their own.   Now I have the memory of a goldfish but I think from left to right these belong to Karen, Ginny, Becky & Louise (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

Here are the cards - we made a collage of them!  Am very pleased with the picture as they were all in their cellophane bags but still turned out great. There is a tiny bit of shadow but as I was perched on a chair and trying to twist to avoid having a big shadow - I'm obviously not that supple haha.  These cards certainly used a lot of punches but I'll think you'll agree it was worth it ;o)

Hi Stampers

Wow, busy busy week!  When I think back over what I've been doing though I cant quite remember half of it, you know the kind of week I'm talking about haha.  Anyway my hubby and I went to see The Kings Speech tonight which was great.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and think Chris did too.

This weeks card class was pirates and hearts, not your usual combo I'll grant you but I made it work....well, it worked cos it was 2 pirate cards and two valentine cards, bet I had you there!

I've used Because I Care which is a current Level 1 Hostess Set and although I wasn't sold on it straight away, after using it I'm definately a fan.  The flower is absolutely gorgeous but unfortunately my picture doesn't quite capture how detailed and lovely it is.

The colours used are the in colours Pear Pizzaz and Blushing Bride and I love them together.  It is a simple card but I like it a lot.

Alright I'm off to bed now, get my beauty sleep in for the week ahead.
