Whisper White Carnation

I have made this lovely little box and embellished it with a carnation. I made the carnation out of Whisper White cardstock. I punched three scallop circles and ran them through my paper crinkler a few times and then screwed them up and rolled them around like little balls of rubbish for a bit and then carefully separted each scallop circle into two peices, I then placed them on top of each other, split side up and put a brad in the middle and lifted and arranged each layer.

Happy crafting.

Allotment starter kit

- I don't think so!

I had a fab day yesterday doing a scrapbooking/mini book starter class with a lovely group of ladies at High Wycombe - hello everyone, it was lovely to see you all.

On the way home I popped into John Lewis (I was passing!) and picked up this lovely little Allotment starter kit. Just the job for the personal supplies I need when I go to a crop or class, as a customer.




I immediately removed the gardening supplies and filled the handy little bag with my crafting tools, small but perfect just for me!

I will be back later with a picture of my carnation as promised!

Another sponged background

I am just lovin' these stamped backgrounds. I taught my first sponging class yesterday and it seemed to be enjoyed by my Charney ladies. Here is another card, simple but I like it. I've made it for someone special and it will be in the post on Tuesday (classes all day tomorrow)!



Enjoy your Sunday.

Happy crafting.

Take two!

How many of us make a card, pop it in the post and then come home and make another, sometimes changing it slightly and it turns out better?

Well this is what I've just made after posting the last one to my young friend Alex!



Enjoy, happy crafting.

Exciting news

Hi everyone,

What a lovely 24 hours I've had, my very lovely customer and friend Claire has decided to take the plunge and join my Stampin' Up team. She came over last night, we went through all the important stuff and then she showed me a few lovely cards she had made. She got the inspiration for a couple of her cards from one of the lovely ladies in our Pink Ladies team, Peg. She had made a lovely job of making a convertable car out of the Stampin' Up pick up truck, and seeing Claire's cards gave me the kick I needed to make a card to celebrate my friends daughter passing her driving test - congratulations Alex on passing your driving test and congratulations and good luck to Claire on taking the plunge!

Here is my card, hope you like it:
