Kiddy layout

This was taken at the marina in Gibraltar after a particularly yummy lunch, I adore this picture, shows sisterly love, we didn't ask them to pose for this, it just 'happened' and I took the snap.

Sorry about the photo quality, had to take it on my phone.

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

Christmas Cards! Again!

I am getting quite into these now!

For these I used Pearlescent Cards which can be found here, and ribbon from the recently purchased craft club stash, gold and silver card, Angel punch is from Dovecraft, chipboard shapes from Dovecraft Winter Wonderland and Contemporary Christmas, also coordinating accessories like sticky ribbon and funky brad which can be found here and here, the brads are from my stash, staples, basic eyelets are from my stash and the novelty ones are from Eyelet Outlet, and the grommets are from the collection that came with my Pink Big Bite.

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!

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!

Some cards..

I made this one using the new Happy Birthday background stamp I bought for the Craft Club, stamped onto black card and clear embossed, scrap slightly woollen ribbon, and one of the many new embellishments I got for the Craft Club. Punched the eyelets in withthe Craft Club's new crop-a-dile! A Pink one!!

These next cards are made by my daughter Rachel.

Isn't she talented? She just loves to install herself on mum's craft table...... :o/

Woooweee!

I LOVE THIS SITE!! Eyelet Outlet, Very reasonable international shipping rates too. I think I have found by brad and eyelet heaven! I have popped a permanent link over on the right under daily inspiration. I have had a peek before but I was so skint I stopped looking incase I REALLY WANTED something!! Hehe! I am still skint but thought I could be brave and not really want everything I see. Failed miserably of course!! Its Not that I don't really want anything - I NEED IT! Definitely gonna be treating myself next month!
