Time away...

Hi folks

hope you have all been keeping well , I've had some time out from blogging what with family, pets and life in general, we (hubby and I ) have just celebrated our 23rd wedding Anniversary and to treat oursleves we had a sneaky weeks holiday down to  the Devon coast at the last minute,we had a caravan down at Dawlish Warren , a beautiful part of the countryside only 1 mile from the beach and myself and Paul and Ruby of course, (couldn't leave my fur -baby behind) had a well earn rest from life in the smog!!

Stourhead stately home

we set off at 10.30am that morning not expecting it would take us 10 hours to get to our campsite. Should had done it in 5 but we were delayed by heavy traffic and so diverted to a pub for lunch at 12 noon and then a lovely stop off at the National Trust's Stourhead House and gardens for a few more hours at 3pm to escape the heat  inside the car which had gone into the 30's and the traffic on the A303 which had slowed to a crawl. Finally arriving at 8pm that night. The week flew by so quickly but I think we had a good time sadly one minute we were there and next minute we were back home again .

The lakes and grounds at Stourhead

Anyway I haven't had any time to post anything lately, but I'm back from my hols now and so its nose to the Cuttlebug and time to get back to work (if you can call this work!!)

Christmas is just 5 paychecks away and so I'm told its time to start thinking about the guy in the red coat and the things he likes to share with us, like presents and decorated trees and of course SNOW!!



 Now I love Christmas as much as the next person but its a little hard to imagine winter outside when the temperature is over 30 degrees in the shade and its not the snow that's melting on the path but more like the tarmac on the pavements!!

 Anyway here are a few Mulberry wood cards I put together before we packed our case and headed down to the English Riviera for the best of the weather. 

 My Christmas range of cards has already been quite popular at a summer bar-b-Que and half a box of 40 cards were sold to friends and friends of friends there. Who would of thought 'big hairy bikers' would like Mulberry wood cards!!  lol


 Crafter's Companion have also kept me busy with some launches going ahead in Germany last week too and they have something really special lined up for you all in Create and craft next week, so keep a crafty eyes out for that . (Will be posting my usual sneaky peeks soon, ).  I also have my country shows looming on the horizon, starting next weekend with  lingfield steam fair, in Surrey, so have been beavering away making cards for those .


Thanks for popping by xx

One more from Barkley...

Well the weather is scorching outside again today as the summer has finally arrived, so thought I'd blog again indoors (and out of the blazing heatwave) as there is still time for one more sneaky peek before the launch at lunchtime on Create and Craft TV, this time its a gift box made from the Crafter's Companion BARKLEY CD.... 

Here's a twist on an exploding box , an exploding rectangle!! inside there are 2 wax butterflies and some herbal teabags in the centre box so you can have a chill out and relax with a cuppa and some scented candles.

 The box was made from a template in the 'exploding boxes' section printed off 3 times and then stuck together and features the little kitten in the images for a change, as I know there are just as many pussy cat lovers out there as dog owners


The lid was made on the ultimate pro with some silver white centura Pearl card and the flowers were in the embellishment section. There's a ribbon around the edge and some on top with an image from the 'toppers' on the CD.

All stuck together with the fabulous Collall glue and the new tacky glue from Crafters Companion available on the website.

don't forget to put on your sunblock or better still  tune in today (friday 12th) at 12 for the launch of the BARKLEY CD AND STAMPS and chill inside in the shade like me!!!!!!

Another look at Barkley from Crafters Companion..............

Here's another chance to see whats in store from Crafters Companion and its this darling little puppy BARKLEY..

Now we all know that secretly that WE have the best dog in the world living in our house as a member of our family but this little guy comes a close second.

There are 2 CDs to choose from Everyday and Christmas a range of stamps to accompany the CDs too and I know you will love them both . Here's a card I made from one the stamps, and some of the backing papers from the CD. I also used a Enchanted Spring Die'sire die cut from Pink Core'ordinations card and a tonic edge punch on some Snow white Centura pearl card stock as a mount

  Here are a couple of baby vests, as you know there are lots of uses for these images, so don't just think its the card makers having all the fun here.

I made these 4 weeks ago before the wonderful news was released from Crafters Companion that our lovely Sara and her husband Simon were expecting their first baby , So I am delighted that they will now go to a good home after the show!!  Next time not to self , make the baby vests lemon and cover all the bases lol!!

Firstly I have to apologise for the bad photo as these vests in real life are a fabulous bright pink colour but somewhere in the photography that has been lost!! The images are from the Barkley everyday CD which have been printed on to iron on transfer paper and then onto the baby vests and I pretty sure they will get an airing at the launch as the news of  the new arrival is bound to be the topic of conversation on the show at some point. So watch out for these little cuties coming to a TV near you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So check out the PICK OF THE WEEK SHOW, Friday 12th July 12 noon on Create and Craft TV,

Sky 671 | Freeview 36 | Freesat 813 | Virgin 748

 And Congratulations to Sara and Simon again on their fabulous news........

Sneaky Peek time again and this time its this adorable little guy BARKLEY THE DOG, Along with his pussy cat friend he will be the star of the show for Crafters Companion on Friday the 12th of July over at the Create and Craft Shopping Channel as their PICK OF THE WEEK.

There are 2 CD's one everyday and one Christmas and I promise you the images are soooo cute, any dog or cat owner would be over the moon to receive a card with these little darling on, The girls on the design team all went crazy for him!!!

Here's another card this time from the everyday range , don't they make a pretty couple , both cards were made using the CD , there are backing papers, card toppers card companions exploding boxes and much much more to choose from on each CD, I know you are going to love them all

wedding fever....

 It won't be long before the wedding season starts, we have already received an invite for September so I thought it might be a good time to restock on some of the wedding gifts I like to make for the country shows and craft Fayre's we attend in the summer months

This gift of a couple in front of an arch is made from paper and card, The arches were Centura pearl card cut on my Cricut die-cutting machine from a church window design along with the flower/vine surrounds. The stand is a box shape 1 1/2'' deep and edged with a martha stewart punch and the base also cut from Centura card. The kissing couple was purchased at a craft show but they are widely available on most Internet sites , (Ebay always has them) the arch is decorated with mini silk flowers and pearls, the acetate box is dressed with ribbon and gold peel off stickers.. The wedding cake topper is purely my design but the Acetate display box is from another keepsake kit I bought but I plan to make my own from its template next time

This wedding cake gift is from scary Mary cards from the keepsake range and comes flat-packed for you to build, its quite easy It takes me a couple of hours from start to finish and you have total free range how you decorate it.  I sell these for £12 each and get 3 cakes and display boxes from each pack costing £17.99 so make nearly £20 profit on each pack I buy. I already have orders for these and can not recommend them enough!!

More Sneaky peeks from Brambly Hedge - Crafters Companion

 Welcome back and time to look again at what's in store on Friday's Pick of the week' show over at Create and Craft TV , The girls and boys at  Crafters Companion have bought you this fantastic range of stamps and a Cd Rom of these wonderful little woodland creatures that live deep down  in BRAMBLY HEDGE.....

Here's another couple of projects I made from the fabulous Brambly Hedge CD Rom, this time we are celebrating Summer.

 The first is an A5 card I made the backing paper with white card using the Argyle embossing folder from Embossalicious and then inking with some Tim Holts 'Vintage Photo' distressing ink and a couple of dies from spellbinder and Cheery lynn, all mounted on brown Core'dinations card.




  Next is a Desk Tidy made from a little red felt bag (£1.99) from the Craft barn and I decorated it with an image from the CD, printed out on Iron on fabric transfer paper from Crafter's Companion and some lace, paper flowers and a enamel butterfly.

This was so easy to make , just print out your image and iron on to some clean cotton material, I used a piece from a cotton pillow case , edged with some lace and stick onto your felt bag with your tacky glue , I used a glue gun to stick on the flowers, leaves and butterfly purely because they were a little heavier and I want them to stay put!!

 Dont forget whenever you are using iron on transfer paper always follow the instructions on the packet and remember when you iron on your picture it will come out as a mirror image facing the reverse way. So if you want it to look the same as on the CD you will need to 'flip' the picture in a graphics programme first ( I used Serif) and then print out . Don't worry if you don't know how to do this, nine times out of ten it doesn't matter unless you are printing out text and then your words will come out back to front!!


Ideal if you want to move from room to garden to do a bit of crafting  in the sunshine while it lasts!!As you can see it holds all your goodies nice and tidy and there is plenty of room left for more, it could hold your wool ,knitting needles or sewing kit as well . or if you didn't fancy using it for any of those you could simply put your sandwiches in it for work!!


Don't forget to watch the show , there will also be some beautiful Brambly Hedge Hunkydory paper kits to go with this range and they are to die for!!

The best thing to hold on to..... (by Sheena Douglas)

Here's a little 7'' plaque made for my daughters boyfriends mum as a birthday gift, My daughter ask for this as her boyfriends mum loves her butterflies so I hope she likes it.

Items used 

Sheena Douglas  'A little bit Sketchy flower power stamp kit

Sheena Douglas 'A little bit Sketchy 'Only words - through the rain' 

Tim Holts 'shaded lilac' distressing ink pad

Stampendous gold Halo glitter

Swirl stamp

2 butterfly peel offs

Silver WOW embossing powder

easel board and stand

I used a Sheena Douglas stamp , from the 'A little bit Sketchy' range called 'Only words - through the rain' for the sentiment and then her beautiful flowers  again from her A5 - A little bit sketchy' range (flower power) for the decoration around the sides , Everything was stamped using a versamark stamp and then heat embossed with some silver WOW powder, the flower centres are a blob of comic shimmer glue and a generous offering of gold Halo glitter from Stampendous and the lilac butterflies were make simply by using a butterfly peel off onto some paper and inking through with the shaded lilac distressing ink. The backing paper was some light blue paper I had laying around in my craft room and was too nice to throw away and this was all mounted onto a small easel card and wooden stand.

I do love the way this has come out , would be ideal for any occasion , birthdays ,Anniversaries, valentines day etc.. Its the second one I made, the first now sits on MY sideboard for a change but I think this one is nicer...

Sneaky peek time again and its a 'Pick of the week' over at Create and Craft TV  launching on Friday the 14th June at 12 noon. It's the Brambly Hedge collection from Crafters Companion 

This is going to be a real treat for all you Beatrix Potter fans as this has a similar feel to it with cute animal characters and beautiful woodland scenes, you will adore this one

Here's a card that was made using the CD and some embellishments also available with this range . (keep an eye out for it on the show) The backing paper was made from Centura Pearl Card run through the embosser in one of the Beatrix Potter embossing  folders.

'Brambly Hedge' is a fabulous CD rom full of wonderful scenes from the woodland forest and the little field mice that live there. In this range you will also find some adorable stamps to accompany the CD images .

I'm loving the rocker cards its so nice to make something a little 'off the wall'. This also folds flat so is easy and cheap to post , The sentiment and bow are all on the sheet and co-ordinate beautifully with the images and backing papers

Embossing from Embossilicious...

Morning folks

As promised here are some  samples of what you can do with your embossing folders , today I am are using the Gun Metal folder from Embossalicous

 Both Sentiments are from the Sheena douglas range of stamps A little bit sketchy - 'only words from the heart and through the rain. and have been stamped with versamark and then embossed with silver embossing powder.
 I must admit I like the more grungy one more, maybe because I had  my fella in mind when I made it.

 

The backing paper is some Purple Core'ordinations card and the white die-cut is from the Die'sire range called Waltz frame, and the Gun metal embossing folder was run through some silver card. The corners were a marianne die and the butterflies were just some silver peel offs stuck on some matching purple Core'ordinations card

J and C Creations - kite Day

It is generally accepted that kites were first invented approximately 2800 years ago in China, Designs often emulate flying insects, birds, dragons and other beasts, both real and mythical. The finest Chinese kites are made from split bamboo (usually golden bamboo), covered with silk, and hand painted. Now days they are considered toys  common with children , rather than adults, though there is a Kite festival every year in Brighton for the big kids among us....

Here's my card , no dragons on them I'm afraid .....

Items used 

Dotty Embossed card blank

Kite Stamp

Silver WOW embossing powder

Creative Expressions Vintage Paper Pack

Coloured pearl embellishments

Marianne Creatables double frame Die

spellbinders Banners die

Pink Ribbon

All highlighted items can be found over at the J and C Creations Website ....

Camden Town Stamp set - Crafters Companion

 Hi folks

 Just a quickie today to show off the stamps sets from the Camden Town Range from Crafter's Companion
below is my card made with set 1 using the boots, sentiment and the butterflies, you can't see in the photo but the boots are covered with mirco beads to give them a glitzy look. The little peach pearls, gems and silver charms all came from the sparkle and fluff embellishment kit ,

  

 Here's another card this time using the small solid rose from the Camden Town stamp set, this stamp is less then 1/2 inch but when repeated you can get a lovely pattern from it, I sure it would be useful as a border stamp too. The butterflies are from a spellbinder die 'Les Papillions' and the backing paper was from the Camden Town paper kit.

 thanks for visiting my blog

New addition to the family

Morning folks,

 just a quick post to introduce you to the newest member of the family..

This is Ruby (formally known as Taffyta) , A westie terrier x (crossed with a toilet brush by the looks of her coat ) She is 14 weeks old (only 9 weeks in Photo, (Right)) and was a rescue puppy from our local dogs home .

 She was bought in with her brothers and sisters to Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre at  Biggin Hill, Kent, as part of an unwanted litter at 9 weeks old  and has been there since then , All her siblings went to new homes quite quickly but for some reason which we can't work out, no one seemed to want her !!! we just went up to 'Foal' for a visit and to look around as we thought it may be time to start 'thinking' about having another pooch and found her there . All alone in her kennel!!

she has been with us for 2 weeks now, though I feels like a lifetime and she has her paws well under the table as well as wrapped round our hearts. Her favourite things are Pigs ears, brooms, mops and doggy treats,and she hates the hoover and the bath , she is everything a dog should be!!

 We have given her the nick name 'Wreck it Ralf' because if she can get it, she will chew it!!!! and we are still puppy- proofing the flower beds as no matter what little fences we put up to stop her, she gets through it to dig up the blubs, Snails and Stones! She sleeps in our room in a cat box which she loves and is so intelligent, all ready she has wrapped 'Daddy' round her little paw!!

 




















 If there is a heaven for dogs,
I'm sure Spike is looking down and smiling, and thinking ' Go on girl , give that blooming cat a run for it's money!!!! ,he he' x
