Now and again , I take a little break from cards, and create a scrapbook page. I am very new to scrapbooking,and because all in my family are males, I don’t get to break out the bling, so really have to rely on techniques and layering to create interest. For this page i used Stampin Up textured cardstock for the base, and more mustard, sahara sand, basic black and soft suede cardstock. I grabbed some random leaf stamps and sponged the images with old olive and more mustard, and I cut the wheelbarrow using my cricut and Walk in my Garden cartridge.The wheelbarrow was a handy spot to tuck my tag into! Dont forget to scroll down to see the whole page! Til tomorrow….

dress form card
A very late post today, but today has just escaped from me and Nathan and I have just finished photoing my cards, which we usually do on a Sunday morning. This means the light was not good and to avoid putting up Nathans photo tent (which is impossible to fold back up) I was in the dark under the dining table which he assured me was the best place to take said photos.We will see when he has put them on the computer. Anyway on to todays card. No pretty papers today! Bazzil cardstock which i ran through the cuttlebug with my swiss dots embossing folder, and spellbinders dress forms die ( cut from a bit of a cereal packet and painted with crackle paint) The pretty lace is actually a curtain remnat, and the flowers were cut with my cricut and the flower shoppe cartridge.All that was needed then was a bit of ribbon, a paper flower and some liquid pearls.That’s it for today, but will see you all tomorrow. Til tomorrow…….
More teen boy card ideas
Here is my last card in my teen boy series, this time using the new Bo Bunny Weeekend Market papers – I love the rich colours of this paper and can’t wait to do some more with it -and my papermania happy birthday stamp which I stamped twice onto patterned paper and fussy cut out a few letters – and outlined a couple more with a marker. The stars are cut with my cricut and the wild card cartridge, and the cardstock is Stampin Up Cherry cobbler. I am busy this week making some cards to start filling those market boxes..Til tomorrow….
Wedding Card and Cuttlebug
I got the idea for this card from a magazine, but I didn’t have any of the supplies they used so I improvised and this is what I came up with… the list of products used is quite long so here goes… I used Pearlescent cardstock in pink,my Tim holtz sizzix vintage car die through my cuttlebug, spellbinders die labels 14,tattered florals sizzix die,banner cut using my cricut and Heritage cartridge,Prima Botanicals patterned paper, Stampin Up Perfectly penned and Marry Me stamps for sentiments, and various flowers,ribbon and a Maya road stick pin.Every thing was inked around the edges with victorian velvet distress ink.I have spent a lovely day in the craft room, it’s a lot cooler here today, back to work tomorrowbut it’s been a lovely 5 day break.. Til tomorrow….
Last Victoria Gardens card… I Promise!
This is the final card in my echo park Victoria gardens series. I have enjoyed working with this collection, and I still have plenty of paper left, so I will still be using it, but after posting 9 cards of the same collection, I’m pretty sure you are all ready to move on! I also used a prima flower, platinum liquid pearls, a Martha stewart punch and my Cricut with the Heritage cartridge to cut the cameo. Tonight I am still working on a couple of xmas designs for next months village class, and then a night in front of the T.V. I think.. til tomorrow…..
Male card
Todays card is a good generic design for those difficult male cards. I have used graphic 45 patterned paper ( a proper Gentleman) ,Stampin up Not quite Navy cardstock,and stars cut on my cricut machine. I have gone through all my cartridges, but have not been able to identify which cartridge I used, so sorry! If anyone can tell me please let me know!Til tomorrow….
Peachy keen
Todays card is the second card I made using my Cricut and the forever young cartridge. The paper I used was kaisercraft Peachy Keen, and the cardstock was Stampin Up Early Espresso. Quick post tonight as its shopping night! Til tomorrow…..
Cricut Forever young
I’m excited to show todays card because I had such fun making it. It reminded me of when I was little playing with those paper dress up dolls! I used my Cricut with the forever young cartridge, and Kaisercraft peachy keen patterned paper ( which went so well together) and the cardstock was stampin Up Early espresso.I have spent most of today getting my boxes ready for the market tomorrow, but have managed to do a bit of creating, and nathan got the camera out and we’ve done a bit of photo -ing too.
