A very late post tonight, but now I can say I am holidays ! Yay! we are still with kaisercraft hummingbird collection, and I also used the matching collectables, a kaisercraft sparklet, and rhinestones. I die cut the rosette with my cuttlebug and tim holtz sizzix die. This will be the last in the hummingbird series for a little while , I actually found this paper to be quite challenging, and when that happens ( not often thankfully) I find it is best to put it away for a while . Quite often in the meantime I have purchased something – A new die, or stamp etc, which is just what the said difficult paper needs.I am looking forward to 2 weeks of crafting and relaxing… Til tomorrow…..
HUmmingbird 3
This week has seen the release of a lot of new paper collections from various overseas companies, and I have been beside myself with so many choices. I think I may have bought too many, and the clue to that is the fact that when I walk into my craft room it actually smells like new paper – you know that glorious inky smell….. I am going to be very busy over the next few weeks ( months ) using it all! Today we are still using paper from kaisercraft Hummingbird collection – this time the 12″ papers and a couple of bits out of the collectables that match this collection. I had a lovely day with my ladies in the Matuere Ladies class, lots of laughs today. For now, cook some tea and off to the craft room.. Til tomorrow….

Til tomorrow…
Hummingbird
Last months release from kaisercraft was Hummingbird collection, and over the next few days I will show a few cards that I have made using this collection. Todays card uses the 6″ paper pad and matching collectables, a little lace and liquid pearls . I have been busy working on a few new designs, and i will continue that tonight, although I must admit I am finding myself easily distracted – I start something and go off on a complete tangent and the finished piece is not what I imagined at all! Til tomorrow….
Happy valentines day
Hello, welcome to my new subscriber, and happy valentines day to you all! I leave the house for work earlier than everyone else here, so it wasn’t until I got home that I discovered my card from my husband – he had been in my craft room and made me one from bits and pieces of my stash… I am just surprised he actually remembered! This is the card I made to celebrate today – Bo Bunny Enchanted papers and brad, blingy ribbon, prima leaf, and sizzix Tattered Florals die through my cuttlebug.Tonight I am going to stretch myself , play with lots of new stuff and come up with some new designs – thats the plan anyway.. I might just fall asleep in front of the t.v…… Til tomorrow….
Engagement card
Hello and welcome to my new follower! This is a card i was working on over the weekend, and is for a friend at work. I used assorted bazil, lace, flowers, Magnolia drops, liquid pearls, spellbinders circles and labels seventeen. There is a delicate swirly thing on the side which was cut on my cuttlebug with a memory box die called Fauntleroy crest ,( my favourite die at the moment) ans the leaves were punched out with my Stampin Up bird punch.The champagne glasses are a stamp that comes from the stampin Up Cheers to you stamp set. While I had it out I stamped out quite a few images with it – it has a variety of different shaped glasses, and today I spent a lovely while in the craft room making a few cards with them.I will go back into the craft room for a little while after tea as I still have a few Wedding cards to make. Til tomorrow….
A little bit of everything…
I have thrown a little bit of everything at this card, so my list is quite long – here goes – Bazzil cardstock for the base, Prima Sparkling spring as the paper collection used, a chipboard dress form covered in matching paper,press studs and old pattern instructions from my late grans box ( that sewing box is coming in quite handy!) my sewing machine, assorted lace, buttons and flowers, a label die and ribbon, and all the edges were inked with worn lipstisk distressed ink. phew…great excitement in the craft room tonight as I received my big box of goodies from Kay (stampin Up) today. What to play with first?My mind is spinning with ideas -it could be quite a long session in there tonight, but first I have to cook tea for the hungry hordes, so Til tomorrow…..
