Well last week there was something I fancied!!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9PT0i6xkDyDy-UVY3VB0Zm3uqPoQ6v-sIIoqrqdJlo3qukdVt6YIEVQiJJRb7gkMwj3Y4JEbtTk32iM4HZtYTUGvQak8sjmuJJxrvi9LhnaOnBq6uD6HcxJauTUNYj_oFJU-JGXJwljE/s1600/church+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9PT0i6xkDyDy-UVY3VB0Zm3uqPoQ6v-sIIoqrqdJlo3qukdVt6YIEVQiJJRb7gkMwj3Y4JEbtTk32iM4HZtYTUGvQak8sjmuJJxrvi9LhnaOnBq6uD6HcxJauTUNYj_oFJU-JGXJwljE/s1600/church+1.jpg" height="400" width="281" /></a> The Silhouette cameo and portrait cutting machine has been around for a while now but I wasn't sure if I could justify another cutting machine after buying the Cricut and Gypsy 3 years ago. Alas I think the damp from being in the loft last winter has rhubarbed the gypsy' wiring and now it refuses to work properly, I still have the Cricut cartridges so I can still use them in the big machine but its limited so long story short Paul treated me to the Silhouette Portrait as my birthday present .<br />
<br />
<br />
The machine comes with the pc software for your graphic Design studio and a free $10.00 download card to spend in their online store (worth about £5.85) it is the smaller of the two machines but unless you have a A3 printer there is no need for the larger Cameo as this one does everything the other one can do. the set up is plug in, download your software from the disc and off you go!!<br />
<br />
These Churches are my first attempt at a 3D project from their on line store/library, the 2 templates cost 59p each , 1 for the body of the church and the other the window arches and roof , They have all been decorated with flowers and bows and placed on two square bases edged with a Martha Stewart punch border, (the hearts around the doorway are the waste from the borders) the happy couple I bought from ebay (3 for 99p) and the plastic dome box is from Scary Marys Flower Vase kit<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each Church has been decorated differently as to appeal to everyones tastes , The pink one (below) was the first to be made and has less on it as ideas came along with each one as they were made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the windows have patterned acetate behind, which gives a nice effect , I think this design would also work well with a battery operated tea light inside but haven't tried this yet .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The purple church has a pattened paper roof which I think looks lovely , and when I make more I will probably do this again </div>

Well the Mayday Bank hols have come and gone and we had a lovely long weekend, not doing much of anything, just pottering around the house on Saturday, A trip to the pub for some lemonade and maybe the odd Rum and coke with old friends and then a run over at the park for little Ruby Sunday.<br />
<br />
Monday was quite ,we did however pop into our local Village Mayday Fete long enough to get a red ribbon in the fun dog show for 'best trick,' Ruby gave a fabulous performance with a routine of Sit, Stand, dead-dog , Roll over and to finish a 'High Five!!' She also had fun playing on the Agility equipment and running the legs off a Border Collie that happened to catch her eye!! Then back home to chill in the garden in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I did however have a few hours spare over the weekend while hubby was cleaning the gutters and re-arranging his spanner collection in the garage/Mancave (as menfolk do) to sneak upstairs to my craft-room and have some fun with my tatty lace dies,<br />
Here's the end result, hope you like them xx<br />

The Romance card has been made using the 'Moments in time' die again in Silver mirror card and mounted onto a Tonic Heart die cut , The Champagne bottle came free with my Tatty lace magazine and the glasses are also from their range of fab dies as is the beautiful vintage car on the other card. </div>

The backing card is Snow white Centura Pearl and has been embossed with a Crafters Companion Rose Garden Embossalious folder and the patterned paper was from my stash again . </div>

My 'little rockstar' card was created using a Kenny K image I thought I would treat myself too , its very rare for to buy digis but I do love Kenny k's designs and have a few rubber stamps by their designers so thought 'what the hell, lets get a couple of downloads!! if you would like to check out their site its here - <a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/">Kenny-Ks-Digis-Rubber-Stamps</a><br />
<br />
The '<a href="http://kennykdownloads.contentshelf.com/product?product=I130114000000716">Vikki Lee Vicious</a>' image has been coloured with my Copic markers and Spectrum Noirs and I have used deep pinkcord'nations paper embossed with a Diamonds Spellbinders M-bossibilities folder and then torn into stripes and some lilac patterned paper that I over stamped with a swirl stamp and then embossed in silver to, to back it on, xx I have used my fav colours Pink and Purple to make the card pop and love this Digi-image she is so Rock and Roll , really loving her New-rock boots!!<br />

Things have been a little mad at home so haven't had much time to do any crafting or blogging but here are some samples I made last month for the girls and boys at Crafters Companion, for Dawn Wheelers 'Camden Town' launch this coming Thursday on <a href="http://www.createandcraft.tv/homepage.aspx">Create and Craft TV </a>.<br />
<br />
As we all know 'all good things have to come to an end' and so with sadness I have had to wave goodbye to the Crafters Companion Design team , Life and family must take priority at the moment and so I have decided to step down and let someone else take a turn , The guys there have been very kind to me and the door has been left open if I ever wish to return (so never say never!!) but for now I have a very busy personal life and can not commit fully to making samples and meeting deadlines , but I will miss them all greatly and I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with the best xx<br />
<br />
Anyway back to craft , with the Camden Town launch this time I draw the male set and here are my last 5 samples for TV , keep an eye out on the shows you never know when they may pop up xx<br />

<br />
Here's a couple more samples to check out, hope you like them.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first Card features the owls and is from the 'Animal Adventures' stamp sets and have been coloured with my Spectrum Noirs and Pro markers , couldn't resist adding the goggley eyes to add an element of fun!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This card has been created with the stamps again this time from the 'kids at play' range and coloured with my Speccies and pro markers and mount onto a circular card blank made from Lemon Centura pearl card using the Spellbinders Grand Nestibilities Scallop dies and tonic's verso dies and decorated with paper flowers and paper candies.<br />
<br />
The sentiment is also from the stamps set. Had to colour the puppy grey to match my little Ruby!!<br />

<br />
The next project is a cute little kiddie tissue box, there's nothing worse than a child with a cold and a snotty nose but hopefully they will want a tissue from this box, I've made it bright and jolly to cheer up the patient may they be young or old.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqH-9XOKzrv8tjDctD7X7jUIO-k6FmSCWoAp7yoSRLEA6qoRSkijT-iAeZEzC2YcgDkRsld2iCDyHN4AjHWivPJEaVlfFa4dtKSLJtlPIl7hVyQfZ3NX5O8wZnYuK8gJKZKb4RX4j4Opw/s1600/ram13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqH-9XOKzrv8tjDctD7X7jUIO-k6FmSCWoAp7yoSRLEA6qoRSkijT-iAeZEzC2YcgDkRsld2iCDyHN4AjHWivPJEaVlfFa4dtKSLJtlPIl7hVyQfZ3NX5O8wZnYuK8gJKZKb4RX4j4Opw/s1600/ram13.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
Each side sports a different animal from the chilly penguin to the happy ducks. <br />
<br />
The whole box was constructed using Lemon Pastel Centura Pearl card, and decorated with paper flowers , gems and lace and the hole at the top was cut with a circle die and then decorated with Crafters Companion Die'sire Doilie Circles die cuts<br />
<br />
If you would like instructions on how to make a tissue box there are many tutoirals on the web and youtube I found this one very useful <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k60I-Hoj9ZM">How to make a Tissue box</a><br />

<br />
Being a mum is one of the best jobs in the world and I am lucky enough to be still 'employed' by my 3 lovely children , The battles never change, my youngest, Gemma, is now 20 years old and I still chase her to tidy her room, ,my eldest, Ben, now 30 is a primary school teacher and when I ask him when will he have some kids of his own he tells me he is quiet happy with the 28 he already has!! and of course my lovely Lisa, like Ben has returned to the nest to save for a deposit for a flat. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I choose this image 'CupCake' from the<a href="http://www.jandccreations.co.uk/rubber-stamping-belles-amp-whistles-c-215_147.html?page=all&sort=20a&disp_order=6"> Belles and whistles collection</a> as it always reminds me of my girls when they are bored or fed up!!<br />
They like nothing more then having some mother/daughter time in the kitchen making puddings and cupcakes. If you are wondering where I am in the image, I'm probably still in the kitchen doing the cleaning up!!)<br />
<br />
<br />

Yet another wet and windy week this week, our hearts go out to all who's homes are under 6 ft of water at the moment, we have been very lucky and only suffered a little garden damage and as the weekend was dry Hubby took the opportunity to put the fences back up on Sunday, leaving me alone to play (in the warm) with my Spectrum Noir pens. With my Birthday in a few weeks I have been promised some new Crafty stash, so hope to get some of the new Spectrum Noir blending pencils to try out.<br />

<br />
<br />
The girl in the images seems in a total day dream ,I wonder if she is dreaming of Summers days.....<br />
<br />
I love her hair so thought I would give it a little more time than usual .<br />
<br />
my colouring needs lots of practice,though I do get some lovely compliments I'm no expect at all, luckily the pens do most of the work . I was quite happy with the end result hope you like it too x<br />

<br />
Here are a couple of cards made for the show ..<br />
<br />
The first features Adam and is made from the CD rom, I have to confess I have never got around to making a waterfall card before so was really pleased with this first attempt at it. Luckily I didn't have to do a lot of work as all the sizing and measuring had been done for me on the CD Rom all I had to do was print it out and decorate it and of course put it together, for that I found a very useful tutorial on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNKg_mFKSY0"> how to make a waterfall card on You Tube </a><br />
<br />
items used<br />
A5 card blank<br />
Angelica and Adam CD Rom<br />
Brown Core'dnations Cardstock<br />
Ribbon<br />
2 brads<br />
brown Candies<br />
<br />
I used some Cor'dnatioins card stock to create the strips on the backing paper , a small piece of ribbon on the tag and some brads to hold it all in place, I then added some brown candies in the corner ,everything else was printed straight from the CD from the waterfall section<br />
<br />

Finally a bit of free time , washings done , housework on top of and pets sleeping contently so had a few hours to spare to play with some bits and pieces ... even had opportunity to get inky fingers from making my own flowers for a change, nothing to fancy just 2 or 3 layers using a <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/nellie-snellen-flower-punch">nellie snellen</a> flower punch set and a pearl in the center but nice to say 'I made them!!'<br />

Today's Challenge was to see how far I could go with one topper. Now I could lie and say it all fell into place but that would be fibbing , sometimes you make a card and then look back and shout what was I thinking!!!<br />
<br />
My first attempt was tons of flowers ,embossing, stamping, ribbon you name it, it was stuck on somewhere and the result was it just looked Poo! back to the table and start again seeing how much can be taken off (in one piece) and saved for another go<br />
<br />
I think sometimes you can try too hard especially when you know your time may be limited, so anyway it was deconstructed and resembled with the bits I liked the best and this is what I had when I was finished , nothing fancy just matt and layering and some nice papers that match and you end up with a card for any age or gender and time now well spent<br />
<br />
I like it and I hope you will too<br />

Always the same when it rains Internet up, Internet down , Internet up, Internet down all day!!!! so while the wind is blowing in my favour, here is today's card.... I Found some shaped cards at the back of a drawer yesterday so thought I'd put one together to see how they 'Shaped' up. <br />
<br />
Time was limited as usual (Doctors in the morning and shopping waiting to be done after lunch) so just did some 'pick and stick' on it , I had some white flowers made up in advance and have a drawer full of Hunkydory toppers to choose from so it was done in a flash. Love the spring like colours and the butterflies and look forward to seeing the real thing and shaking off these winter blues </div>

<br />
Love is in the air with valentines day less than 2 weeks away and so its time to get out those lovey-dovey shaped dies out and get down to some serious crafting...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tonic Studio have the wonderful Verso range , one of my favorites is thats quite new to the collection is called 'Indulgence Affections' and feature lots of hearts and swirls so todays cards are made with them and a few other bits I had in my crafty stash. I think if I was told I could only ever have one companies dies to play with and had to chose among the many wonderful dies on the market at the moment, I would go for Tonic Studio every time. They cut clean and well and release easily and have a beautiful range of designs to chose from .<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Card 1- Anniversary<br />
I used some brown pastel Centura Pearl cardstock for the A5 card blank, I use this a lot in my crafting as it is 300gsm and nice and study for the job as well as been top quality card to work with<br />
<br />
This card has been made with the 'Indulgence <a href="http://tonic-studios.co.uk/?product=indulgence-affections-someone-special-die-item-475e&doing_wp_cron=1391615743.8196580410003662109375">Affections insert die 'someone special</a>' and a Hunkydory topper from the luxury card kit 'Festive Decadence', (yes OK its a Christmas topper but I won't tell if you don't!!) The backing card has been made with some lush red card stock and another Tonic die this time its the '<a href="http://tonic-studios.co.uk/?product=indulgence-tres-belle-tag-square-die-item-382e&doing_wp_cron=1391634382.6067209243774414062500">Tres Belle tag square</a>' die, I have had a jiggle with it and found if you find the repeat in the pattern you can extend the die-cut to even longer and looks fab when mounted onto a lighter card or paper I used some cream paper I had!!<br />
<br />
I finished this card with a 'Happy Anniversary' peel off Sentiment mounted onto 2 Spellbinders banner die cuts<br />
and a romantic red satin bow on the top <br />
<br />
<br />
Card 2 - Wedding <br />
This second card is made with a 6 x 6 card blank, I used the<a href="http://tonic-studios.co.uk/?product=indulgence-tres-belle-tag-square-die-item-382e&doing_wp_cron=1391634382.6067209243774414062500"> Tres Belle tag square' die </a>again but didn't extend it this time, I cut it from some beautiful Centura Pearl Snow white card stock and mounted onto some pastel pink Centura Card stock.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsFPyVYW5824loBLPDKxHhsTA-rdT2ztxW-DVMtbdQfWC0ccufQeZctdu-ybzxsdFMNn7kPL7Vu9KJPZRvkpRo86XdZXTGe0NCU01_VBv8lXGvoievkrj0NcCzVWsC4KFnQNOi65DmHE/s1600/love5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsFPyVYW5824loBLPDKxHhsTA-rdT2ztxW-DVMtbdQfWC0ccufQeZctdu-ybzxsdFMNn7kPL7Vu9KJPZRvkpRo86XdZXTGe0NCU01_VBv8lXGvoievkrj0NcCzVWsC4KFnQNOi65DmHE/s1600/love5.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
The heart was cut with some silver mirror card and my Tonic Studio<a href="http://tonic-studios.co.uk/?product=indulgence-affections-be-mine-die-item-477e&doing_wp_cron=1391634650.2176129817962646484375"> Affections insert die 'be mine' </a>as (you might notice I only used the outer heart for this one) I have added an embossed strip across the middle of the card this was made with a Spellbinders Elite M-bossibilities folder and Centura Pearl Card stock again and I've added some soft pink lace.<br />
<br />
The wedding bells were made from a 2" embossing folder I have had since Noah set sail, (I think it may be an old cuttlebug one) and some more silver mirror card . I finished it off with some white paper flowers in the corner. a Spellbinders sentiment banner and 2 Silver foil butterflies which are peel off stickers stuck onto some acetate scraps!! <br />
<br />
Here's my last card and this one of course has to be for the 14th of Febuary and Valentines day<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXd0aJIdEQEj9CgCaxYXM1zgnhF9oMfdNW1481Xyu9HEsPENOw67eS9pbLuYUX7CfxSYc2G3RSLdzcHw5lsT5JhDzYlgML7sp2EjdY-IVRZswISq5C9aXt-gZ1XJe05NiTNUICSWePBQI/s1600/love2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXd0aJIdEQEj9CgCaxYXM1zgnhF9oMfdNW1481Xyu9HEsPENOw67eS9pbLuYUX7CfxSYc2G3RSLdzcHw5lsT5JhDzYlgML7sp2EjdY-IVRZswISq5C9aXt-gZ1XJe05NiTNUICSWePBQI/s1600/love2.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a> Card 3 - Valentines<br />
A very simple but to the point 6 x 6 card for the love of my life ( I hope Ruby appreciates it!!, only jesting of course it will be for my lovey hubby who supports me and my crafty habit!)<br />
<br />
Made from gold mirror board and some red card stock I have used the Verso Christmas (Nurse!! shes at it again !!!! Bringing up Christmas in February) <a href="http://tonic-studios.co.uk/?product=verso-christmas-decorative-holly-rings-die-set-item-397e&doing_wp_cron=1391636112.3345339298248291015625">Decorative Holly rings die </a>and some old Hunky dory toppers, I had in a drawer from 2010.<br />
<br />
No bows this time as its a card for a guy, just a gold candie in each corner to finish.<br />
<br />
Hope you like my creations and thanks for popping by xx<br />

<span id="goog_742798675"></span><span id="goog_742798676"></span>Hi folks,<br />
Hope you are all enjoying the January Sales I'm having a great time , must have bought at least 5 new Hunkydory kits to play with in the new year already<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some cards made using the Art Deco Christmas Decadence kit and my lovely Tonic Indulgence Chic Dies just to show how not everything that says 'Christmas' has to be Christmas !!<br />
<br />
<br />
The one on the left has toppers mounted onto Acetate and then fixed in an aperture, something a little different as an birthday card, <br />
<br />
These images are so glamorous you can use them in many different ways and as they are all couples wedding and Anniversary seem to be an obvious choice<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> H</span>ope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year , I'm was lovely with all the family home. I'm really looking forward to see what 2014 has to bring , Have you made your resolutions yet??<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This year I plan to keep a diary of my battle against the bulge so wish me luck , I'm starting my challenge at 13 stone.6 a massive leap from the 10lb.5, I was only 5 years ago but alas the problems I've had with my lungs over the past few years and steroids morning and night, (not to mention the ridiculous amounts of chocolate and beer consumed, not going to blame everything on bad health!!) Anyway the pounds have piled on and now its time to take some control. No more excuses!!<br />
<br />
I've also given up the ghost of trying to work a corner in my bedroom it's just not working so I've migated back to the loft and hopefully will get a lot more done now I have my own space again, just praying it doesn't get too cold up there like last time!!<br />

We are beginning to think the only reason he went into teaching 5 year old's was so he could still play with Lego all day!!!<br />
<br />
Oh well, one more sleep then Santa comes , hopefully he might bring me some new fences to replace the ones lost in last nights storm though not sure how he would get them down the chimney!!<br />
<br />
Here's a couple of cards I made playing with my new Tonic die sets Square base Affections and Tres Belle square base , hope you like them xx<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitg-ISHky5BW6u_kGgS59E6ezGrfPjmaCdIhJsfqrz09Axkp0PQIxdtxvXO_OnMT1FZLt-ennGF2S8LzO1Twjst6tmYLavtzam1EhrJb-zkvPiCb-u1YLV1PCKZwHXovWtxuvxgK_EaYY/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitg-ISHky5BW6u_kGgS59E6ezGrfPjmaCdIhJsfqrz09Axkp0PQIxdtxvXO_OnMT1FZLt-ennGF2S8LzO1Twjst6tmYLavtzam1EhrJb-zkvPiCb-u1YLV1PCKZwHXovWtxuvxgK_EaYY/s320/1.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br />
The top right was made using the Tonic die from the Square base Tres Belle set, it comes with a tag shape in the centre but on this occasion I have covered it up and used the diecut as a background only, with some fab hunkydory butterflies and a clock face. I have been saving these for a while to make more special cards with and these dies seem to do the toppers the justice they deserve x<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The one below was made with the fantastic Tonic Square base Affections Die set , using the hunkydory butterflies and clocks again this makes a classy and feminine birthday card <br />

Unfortunately I had to learn this at my cost , losing all my photos, documents and email contacts for the last 12 months , when mine decided to roll over and die in November 2013!!! The one thing I did learn however is from now on to back up everything onto an external hard drive, if I don't want to have to dig through Facebook to save photos and re-enter all my email contacts by hand again!! So huge apologies for no blog posts for the last 3 weeks . My broken PC is at the 'intel' hospital as we speck having major surgery and fingers crossed will be back home with its love ones soon<br />
<br />
Today's post is all about the range of Embossalicious folders from Crafters Companion along side the brand new range of Diesire 'Sentimentals' Stamp sets and will be airing on Create and Craft TV on the 11th , 12th,13th , and 15th December, don't miss it they are some fantastic new folders to see . I was lucky enough to get to play with them in Advance (one of the peaks of been on a top-notch design team...) and I can tell you now you will love them!!<br />
<br />
Here's my contribution to the samples, hope you like what I done with them .....<br />
