The Cameo Spotlight challenge #3

Hello Friends,

The card I'm showing you today is for a friends birthday, I'm sure she is away on holiday but it will be waiting for her when she gets back.

I've used the colours I have closest to the ones in this weeks challenge over at The Cameo Spotlight challenge blog so that I can enter this card.

The Cameo cut outs were all from the Silhouette strore, which I cut and stamped using my favourite Stampin' Up background stamp called En Francais.  The flower in the middle was again cut out with my Silhouette Cameo, this time using vellum, I embossed each little petal from the back to give the flower some dimension and shape.

The colours used were River Rock, Marina Mist and Whisper White, all from Stampin' Up.

Enjoy your day and I hope you have some time to craft.

Silhouette Cameo - Boy's card

Hello Friends,

Sometimes when you run out of time and could do with a little help it can come in many different ways, ways in fact, that you wouldn't even think of.

Yesterday I posted a card I made on my Silhouette Cameo and the very lovely Jackie Rockwell from the Cameo Spotlight challenge blog commented on it.  I traced her comment right back to the challenge blog, one I didn't even know about, and found this card, just at the right time.

I've been worrying (why do we worry so much about "boy" cards?) about making a card for our nephew for at least a week - and with my crafting area out of bounds until yesterday, I worried even more!

This is my take on her card ............

I found the same images in the Silhouette store and wrote the sentiment myself.

It is very different from my usual style but I really like it.

Hope you have some fun playing with your Silhouette Cameo later today.

Silhouette Cameo - New home card

Good morning my friends,

I've got a few things to craft with, in my new craft room now (it's going to take some time to get it all in here!).  My Silhouette Cameo was the first arrival, then my computer and some card stock so I could make this new home card for my daughter.

The inspiration for this came from seeing Hayley West, who did some drawing and cutting out on the Silhouette Cameo yesterday, on Create and Craft and this post from A Blog Named Hero.

I made the little block of flats myself using roofs, doors and window images from the Silhouette store.  The rest of the images also came from the Silhouette store.

I've got plenty more crafting to do over the next few days - I'm so behind with it all, so will be back with more for you to see very soon.

Have a great day and happy crafting.

My craft room

Good morning friends,

I'm just popping into my blog to update you on my craft room progress.  I now have a desk ............

quite a large one at 90cm wide and 180 cm long, but that's not the best bit..........

the best bit is that it goes up and down, using that little control above!  So I can work at what ever height I like, it should help with all my aches and pains.  I like to stand when I stamp, so I won't be breaking my back and punching out shapes whilst my desk is lower should be a breeze!

Finally here is my posh stool.  It is so comfortable, it is shaped like a riding saddle and goes up and down too!

Later today I hope to get some crafty stash in here so that I can start my new creative journey tomorrow, so watch this space.

Have a great Sunday and happy crafting.

My crafting break

Hello my friends,

I know it's been a while since I posted something for you to see and I apologise for that.  I've been away and now that I'm back my time is being taken up by turning one of our rooms into a new crafting room - just for me!

I'm super excited, it's quite a large room and I hope that once it's all organised I will be able to craft my little heart out without ever having to clear up again - lol !!!!!

Watch this space, I'm hoping to be able to craft some time over the weekend or shortly after.

Enjoy this September sunshine and craft when you can.
