Modern Medley ....

Hello there, trying to have some me time today, not sure how that will pan out, I've been busy in the garden, busy in the house and busy at work, no rest for the wicked or so they say ;) I am building up to my retreat in just a little over three weeks time, and have been making "Saturday Night Take Away" bags, more of that to follow, but I also finally had time to take a look at these gorgeous papers. They are so versatile, with the patterns on both sides, you can either make them very grown up or playful. This one is going to be grown up with two small 3x4 B&W photo's on the outside left and right "flap" and one 6x4 photo and some journaling inside, it is going to be of a wedding. I think the next layout I use them for will be the playful one because I am loving the sheet with the birds flying across it. I am happy to say I have incorporated the new tag punch and the spiral flower die on the layout so I hope you like it :)

Convention Make 'n' Takes ....

So did any other Demo's out there get around to doing there convention make 'n' takes? Well I finally did the other day, as you know I have had good reason to find it difficult to craft during the house renovations, but really, no excuse for not making up these little kits, with everything in them that you need they are such cute little projects.

The card is made using the Gorgeous Grunge set and the Hello Lovely sentiments.

The bag on the right is made with the tag-a-bag kit :) I'm loving these chevron bags and use them on my scrapbook layouts as well :)

S.A.B only 5 Days Left ....

So with only five days remaining of this years sale-a-bration period, have you taken advantage and received any freebies. I know I have, but with the launch of the spring/summer seasonal around the same time, it wasn't difficult for me to spend £45 and claim a free sale-a-bration item. I have a few favourites, the papers of course, the banner stamps and punch, and the heartfelt banner, all gorgeous. So tonight I took time to take part in our team challenge the colours this week were, so saffron, soft sky, pink pirouette and burnt brown sugar. As we are so close to the end of SAB I thought I would use the Petal Parade free stamp set you can earn by placing an order for £45.

Also in the garden today :)

I Am Me ....

Had a strange week this week, it was very stressful at work for one reason and another, and also I had a cold and after my day in the office on Thursday I felt lousy and tearful, ah well letting things get the better of me is no way to go !!! So crafting therapy with great friends, gave me the balance I needed. I didn't get much done on Wednesday as I was teaching two ladies, but today I crafted and chatted with a lovely friend. I actually created a number of pages for an album I am working on for a 21st pressie, but I am posting this simple layout using the I am Me papers and adding a lovely tag a bag paper bag, to hold a nice big tag to journal on :)

Heartfelt Banner ....

A beautiful day today, gosh dare I think that spring is on it's way, well yes it is and the flowers in the garden are starting to confirm that. Last week was very busy and I must find some time to do some crafting and indeed get in front for my blog !!! Here are a few photo's from the garden and also a picture of the heart felt banner another free product during the sale-a-bration period. There are literally only a few weeks left now, so if you would like one of the free products available, all you need to do is place an order for £45 and choose a freebie :) (and for any multiples of £45).

 

Your Lovely ....

Well here's a little late post of something I started to work on this last week. It was meant to be finished and ready to upload over the weekend, but setting up my finally finished kitchen took president :) I have combined two sale-a-bration free gifts on this layout, the papers and the stamp set "Your Lovely" in fact the little tag I have added to the right hand side, was made by Yvonne Pearson, and was her "swap" from out last team training event so thanks for that Yvonne :) I also stamped on the white cardstock with one of the watercolour stamps, so more of this to follow soon. Don't forget sale-a-bration ends at the end of March so don't miss out on the chance to obtain one of these exclusive freebies :)
