2 Cards

Made this at Craft Club for MIL for her b'day next month.

And this one for another relative, male, haven't decided which one yet, there are several who need cards!

Christmas Star

I came across this tutorial at Scrummy Stash Cafe tonight and had to have a go IMMEDIATELY! I love it so much I made 2! I used Anitas 6 x 6 Classic Christmas Red papers, generic ribbon and eyelets and a candy cane eyelet from Eyelet Outlet.

I used my Pink Big Bite for the eyelet setting.

On the red one I used staples to hold it together and the gold one, 2 tiny brads.

The gold star has been made to sparkle a little with Stickles.

Hope you like them! Its a little different to what I normally do! Pulled me out of my comfort zone a little :D

Basic Grey Challenge Blog!

I came across this in my travels! I know how so many of us love Basic Grey, so how about this?

Basic Grey Challenge Blog.

The first challenge is buttons, but they need not be Basic Grey as long as something on your page is! I am going to submit one I have already made and posted here a couple of weeks ago - Fynns 'birth' day card.
Now obviously the buttons and everything are not Basic Grey but it fits the bill as the Rub Ons are Two Scoops!!
Hope you like it over at the challenge!

My bloke and my friend

This first card I made with the pink big bite II, punching holes and then using a variety of materials to make the words, then decorated it with papermania sentiments and Basic Grey 2 scoop rubon accents from the Olio selection.

This second one is for my very good friend and neighbour Chris who has really pulled thru for me these past few days and been an absolute trooper, checking on me when I have been down, helping me with things I need without any fuss at all, all while having her own things to cope with. She gave me these papers and a load of others today as she simply didn't use them, so I made a 'thank you for being my friend' card for her using them! I am very lucky to have her support and friendship right now.

The lovely surprise gift of these papers also helped me get some of my mojo back which has been seriously lacking these past few weeks! So thank youfor that too Chris!!

In this card I used Laura Ashley ribbon , chipboard and flower embellishments, SeeD stamps, InkitUp Chocolate Brown ink, a 2inch circle punch and papers from My Little Shoebox.

I also got a lovely surprise in the post today from Celia!! Thank you! It really made us smile, especially the momento from the sadly dearly departed Weston Pier!!

Tags! Again!

Here they are! We made these together using paper flowers, ribbon, eyelets, grommets, scrap cardstock, bit of heat embossong, bit of stamping and of course the Pink Big Bite!! Lovely bit of creative with mummy and mummy's stuff time!

Tags!!

My daughters and I have been making tags with the new pink Big Bite (grommets and eyelets aplenty!) but I can't find my camera!!! Will post pics asap!

Look what I bought!!

Ok its not here yet, but its on its way - AND ITS PINK!!! And new and shiny!!

I was so excited I had to go and stock up on eyelets from Eyelet Outlet!! Thought I'd skip straight past the normal cropadile when I saw this on Ebay, what a bargain!
