I think I picked up these gorgeous digi stamps from Mami Doodles, the papers were free with Simply cards and Papercrafts and are by Craftwork cards the flowers i got from Crafty Ideas by Kaz and Wild Orchid crafts, I'm still learning with promarkers but was very pleased with the end result.

The weather is absoulutely wonderful out and Spirit and KeishaBelle are thoroughly enjoying themselves going out and playing. Lets hope the good weather continues throughout the summer. I'm a spring baby at heart but do love the warm weather as long as it's comfortable and not over bearing. Now the days are getting longer I have more time to craft in daylight and try out new things.

Today I am waiting in for a delivery from Royal Mail as they are delivering my new hub. tomorrow a BT engineer is coming out to upgrade me to infinity so will see how much better that is than standard broadband.

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather too

Easel Gatefold card

Warren in a Bucket

I did this card as a workshop on the Crafty Ideas by Kaz forum http://forum.craftyideasbykaz.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5547. I used the Warren products from Craftwork Cards. Also available from Crafty ideas http://www.craftyideasbykaz.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=830_1051_1078&products_id=16792. It took awhile to put together as I was photographing everything as I went along for the workshop, but I hope you will agree it was well worth it.
My next workshop will be a star card so watch this space.
Also tomorrow watch Create and Craft as the Walk on the Wildside is being aired for the first time. Do look out for the samples as they were amzing samples put together by the girls. Hayley will be demonstrating. If you are friends with Tina Fallon the check out her Facebook album Walk on the Wildside for more samples.

I'm still working on my Poppy cross stitch, hopefully that won't take too much longer to do. I also need to do my dad a Father's day card. I need to top all the others this year. The same with the gift. Though that may be hard after the gift I made him the other year.

This is from a freebie that I got from Crafty Ideas by Kaz. You need to be a forum member to get the free templates and designs but it is well worth it. They are a lovely bunch of people on there. There are plenty of challenges and swaps to join in with as well as a weekly quiz that you can take part in.

HAPPY NEW YEAR










Hello and A Happy New Year. Well I've been busy making scrapbook calenders for a couple of friends as well as doing one for myself. I have also been making some card samples up for a forum that I belong too. I'm hoping to scrapbook my christmas cards as well. I purchased a lovely memory album set by Brenda Pinnick from QVC. I love Brenda's design's, I'm a huge fan. The set has plenty in there to keep me going for sometime. I bought a previous scrapbook kit of hers that keeps going and going. I've used many of the papers here on my calender. This weather has been a perfect excuse to stay in and craft.
