Circles and 'something to say'!
Happy Sunday everyone
Hope you are having a lovely weekend. Mine has been fraught as usual but in a nice and busy way! Was at a craft class yesterday morning then after spending what seemed like hours on the phone -we are finally off to sunny climes next week.
So today am hoping to go put the finishing touches to my holiday packing choices.
Well after last week's foray into a congratulations card - aka the 'Bravo' stamp set, I made use of one of the paired sentiments in the 'Something to say' set for another one at my class yesterday.
...this time an easel card - a format I do really like - but have to resign myself to always getting it wrong to begin with, each time I do one, as I always manage to cut it in pieces before I get it right - usually on the 2nd or 3rd attempt!
..and for once - have made a circular card as had a play with the brilliant Circles collection framelit dies.
These are a really great buy as you get 10 different layering sizes in the pack with the largest one - a whopping 4 and 3/4" diameter in 'old money'. it is has a lovely scalloped edge - the one I chose for my card.
and here it is.. doesn't look very much as is but..
here it is - 'easled'!
The colour way was easily sorted - still on my table from last week! The current lovely in-colours - Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss.
All finished off with my customary 'bit of bling' so I had intended to link it with the current challenge no 105 over at SUO where this week they want us to feature embellishments - but.. I forgot the link closed last night not tonight!!
what was that about Miss Lastminute.com or in this case, Miss Justtoolate.com! oh well, maybe next time..
So, after bejewelling the flowers, and over enthusiastic sponging which I dragged across the cardstock in places as well as the edges.. well, ever one to mix things up as they say, finally, one finished card.
Just click on the items to easily access them in my on line store to place an order and have them shipped straight to your address.
Am happy to answer any questions you may have - if you would like to find out more or would like me to place an order for you, you can email me or contact me on 01438 820829 if you would rather.
Well as I mentioned we are off on hols next Friday so will post again when I get back, unless I can sort something out by way of a scheduled post before that..
well that would be a first for me.. not so much the challenge of scheduling the post, rather more the action of making a card in a timely fashion.
Til next time
Best wishes all

New Annual catalogue launched - yeahh!! doing a happy dance !
well, I know I have been remiss of late and June has virtually flown past me in a whirr.. but am back today as its the 'special day' in the Stampin' Up! calendar -
yes - it's finally here, after all the sneaky peeks and the fabulous ideas all the lovely Stampin' Up! demos have been posting..!
The new annual Stampin' Up! 2014 - 2015 catalogue has launched so its already a few hours old and am so so late in posting about it..
but tada... and here it is - well, a picture of the front cover at least.
This year they have done things a little differently in that almost every section has lots of 'for information panels' I'll call them - either showing everything you need to get started creating something beautiful with the wealth of lovely designs to copy - or for the more seasoned amongst us lots of 'You can create this' - images of all the particular supplies you need to help create that specific effect or sample item.
The very popular 'Bundle & Save' deals feature throughout the catalogue and there's all sorts of pre-packaged kits meaning you get to start crafting the minute you open your parcel!
Project ideas for every skill level for all sorts of occasions
Page 2 instantly gives you a flavour of what is to come - with the identification of 'colour-coded' sections for ideas for Gift & packaging, all manner of card giving solutions for birthdays, weddings, family and thank yous, and not forgetting those of you into scrap booking and Memory keeping - just far far too much to mention without creating a post a mile long.
...and I know its daft skipping along to the very end - but I really appreciate the way they now show the items in the index - instantly showing you what colour category they belong to - and to have a picture index of all the alphabet and greeting stamp sets gets a definite thumbs up in my book!
And of course, as with any new catalogue - we also have a new set of 'in-colours'
yes, 5 brand new, bang on-trend, colours for 2014 - 2016
lots of lovely new stamps, accessories, punches, and papers make their appearance - and a few making quite a stir are - not in any particular order : Stampin' Blendabilities markers, Project Life (R) by 'Stampin' Up!, the new Photopolymer stamp sets which make lining things up such a breeze, the decorative masks for enhancing ,creating lovely backgrounds for your cards, scrapbook pages and so much more.
...and if you are stuck for inspiration - or just need a pointer in the right direction - you really cannot go wrong with the wealth of samples, examples and real life items the oh so talented Stampin' Up! designer team have come up with - including listing all the necessary supplies so you don't have to go searching...
Brilliant!
well if you would like me to send you your own personal copy - drop me a line and for £4:50 will arrange to have it sent straight to your door.
I can order Stampin' Up! Products
for you, shipped straight to your address and am happy to answer any
questions you may have - if you would like to find out more or would
like to place an order you can email me or contact me on 01438 820829
well with all this talk of the new goodies - am off to take a proper look for myself.
til next time - have a lovely week - and will be back myself after the thrills and spills of a certain tennis tournament have concluded and fingers x'd for Mr Murray!

Wetlands mini-waders say happy birthday
Hi all and happy bank holiday .... or more precisely, what's left of it.!
I have been helping Mummie, following the lightning strike on Saturday, and glad to say she is over the shock of it all now, and just keen to get it sorted. The aerial people are due to call tomorrow, the insurance people are scheduling an assessor's visit - so all in all.. we are now in their capable hands, or at least I like to think so..
but in the midst of all that- it's also my dad's birthday tomorrow and what with one thing and another, well you can imagine, have only just finished his card this evening. Uhm.. Talk about 'last minute.com' yet again!
Well it's a man card, so it has to be blue.. one of these days I might break out of my comfort zone on this, but not today!
I chose the lovely Wetlands stamp set, starting with this beautiful card from Julia Carmichael as my inspiration. But I thought my little squares just looked lost on the overall card, so sponged them, then popped them up on a focus piece using the 'En Français,' background stamp.
The 'glitter letters' are from a very old set of pre-cut die shapes, which I have had for ages.
The sentiment on the front is from the 'One in a million' stamp set and I carried on with the complimentary stamp from the same set, 'That makes you one in a million!' to decorate the inside. I finished off with the 'Happy Birthday' from the Memorable Moments stamp, placed to perfection with the use of my Stamp-a-Majig.
Hope he likes it.

Stampin' Up! Regional training - Lucky number 5!
hi all
am writing this, my usual 'Sunday snippets' having spent yesterday, Saturday, up in Telford, at a Stampin' Up! Uk Regional training event - and the reference to the Lucky number? .. the number I chose when I got to registration desk -
and I really can say 'Lucky' as it won me a lovely prize in one of the famous Stampin' Up! 'Prize Patrols', then subsequently added to, with a fabulous all-delegate give-away!
'oohs' and 'ahhs' a-plenty, as we saw the host of fabulous displays from some very talented demonstrators, sample cards for the Ronald McDonald House and Coram charities which Stampin' Up! support, some sneak peaks of lovely things in store for us all when the new catalogue and this year's set of 'In-Colours', both launch. (Personally I can't wait.)
Here's just a tiny sample of the fabulous swaps boards.
In addition there were some very
inspirational talks from successful demonstrators on how they run their
Stampin' Up! business and what works for them, backed up by talks from
Stampin' Up!'s UK and US home offices.. some great on-stage
demonstrations, including one from Julie Kettlewell which we could
all have a go at, as it made up the fabulous 'Make and take' for the day
(along with some tryouts of a few new products as well!) and not forgetting of
course, all the fabulous swaps I got back from my lovely fellow demos, below.
For mine,
Remember this from yesterday :

well this is what they look like face up!
I opted for a background of Cherry Cobbler card stock, with an embossed topper of Whisper White, some cutouts from scraps of similar embossed card stock, arranged in order of a rainbow, finished off with a stamped butterfly and short sentiment from Maya Angelou 'try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud' - which I
generated in MDS.
(I must admit I did have help cutting out all the little coloured hexagons!!

... and I did get an absolutely stunning selection of swaps back in return - my apologies that my rubbish attempts at photography just does not do them justice at all !
but a really huge thanks everyone for swapping with me, I really do appreciate the time taken to make them all.

ahh - when you read this...
hi all
...sorry I have been absent this week - but its been a hive of activity here in my crafting corner, over the last few days - as Miss 'Lastminute.com' finally tumbled to her senses and gave some thought to making a card and a number of swaps for a 'Stampin' Up! event I am attending, along with a lot of other Stampin' Up! demonstrators, this weekend.
Here's a quick view of my rather in-elegant! box of swaps ready to go..
...I will explain the doings of them in a bit more detail in my usual Sunday snippets..!
and Stampin' Up! have also asked for card donations for their Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Drop box - we have all been asked to make a card.
For my card, I chose Pistachio Pudding (one of the current 'In-Colours' for 2013 - 2015) and Very Vanilla for my basic colour scheme - actually unwrapping the 'in-colour' stamp pad for the very first time.. Not too sure why I waited so long to use it, if am honest..?
Having opened it and seen it in for real as it were, I find I just love the subtle hue and soft look to it!
my card is a 'just because' card .. and that's just because I had the stamp still to hand from its last outing, a couple of weeks ago.!
But this was what I finally settled for: and am quite pleased how it all came together in the end and as the 2nd love in my life in the crafting stakes is sewing, I thought I would add a touch of faux stitching to finish it all off.!
...and inside - I just did a bit of 'stampin' off the paper - as I like the effect that gives,

'en pointe' thank you
..and Happy Monday, or at least what is left of it.!
Am a bit late posting as was away this weekend to stay with an ex-works colleague - and so just had to say 'Thank you' and chose the current sketch challenge over at Less is More for a bit of inspiration. Many many thanks, Chrissie.
Well I did start off with the best of intentions, but by the time I had finished it had morphed into a bit more that clean and simple, unfortunately.
I chose bright Tangerine Tango, coupled with Very Vanilla and a bit of Forest Green-'ery' for my colours.
A bit of embossing and sponging for the topper - and a frame using 2 sizes of the Squares Framelits dies, which I opted to set 'en pointe' almost, some punched DSP petals and itty bitty flowers, fussy cut leaves from Betsy's blossoms and my sentiment and all of a sudden this was far from clean and simple!
Stampin' Up! supplies for this card:

Well having been down near Lee-on-Solent for the weekend - can only say it was certainly far from 'walking on the beach' weather - and any thoughts I had of enjoying sun and sea quickly disappeared after the first of a number of heavy downpours!.
Can only hope everyone else fared a little better than I did and you manged to stay dry and of course typically today, now am home it has been a really lovely afternoon and this evening its still bright and sunny!
til next time
very best wishes, all

Happy Easter everyone
hi all
well like all holidays - don't they just fly past.!
Can't believe it is already Easter Sunday and for once am not working over a Bank holiday and I shall be celebrating that fact with my mum and my sister and along with a few chocolate treats!.
... and of course just needed to make an Easter card to mark the occasion.
I used Daffodil Delight as a base with Whisper White for the topper and opted to round a couple of the corners. A few repetitions of one of the stamps from Stampin Up's Flowering Flourishes stamp set for surface decoration to offset the label which I stamped in Basic Grey, then cut, sponged and matted for a bit of interest. Some hand colouring with my Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive markers and a blender pen, Candy dots plus toning ribbon to go with - and herewith one card.
(My sentiment is alas from a retired set - but chose to use it as think it fitted the overall sizing I was after).
...and of course making a matching envelope is so so easy with the brilliant Envelope Punch board and its such a fantastic way of using up all your DSP bit and pieces!
The one I used is a retired one (Beyond the Garden) but I keep thinking I see rabbits ears hidden in the flowers, so just had to use it!
What do you think.?

Well as they are visiting me - I am on 'tea and scones' duty - 'teasies at threesies' as we always call it - but am thinking sitting outside to eat them is probably not an option, well today, at least!
...but hoping your day is filled with things of a chocolate variety - and speaking of chocolate have to admit ours will certainly include some of those well known bunnies in the gold wrapper, complete with red ribbon tie.
have a lovely Easter, everyone
Until next time.

Well as they are visiting me - I am on 'tea and scones' duty - 'teasies at threesies' as we always call it - but am thinking sitting outside to eat them is probably not an option, well today, at least!
...but hoping your day is filled with things of a chocolate variety - and speaking of chocolate have to admit ours will certainly include some of those well known bunnies in the gold wrapper, complete with red ribbon tie.
have a lovely Easter, everyone
Until next time.
