BIG SHOT!!!!!!!

Thanks to my most amazing man I am the proud new owner of a Big Shot!!!! I got a really good deal on it as it came with a large die and a pack of 4 smaller ones so I got right to it and had a go...........Once I had run the large die through the machine I got completely stumped as to what to do with it and it took me ages to actually make the card!!

I kept looking at the shape and picking out different card stock to use and then changing my mind.....trying different background colours and then I decided on this.

I wanted to 'jazz' it up a little bit, and I think I will try and use a DP next time and when I get some new dies, but I used some gitter on the flowers and then added a flat back pearl thingy....its a bit hard to see on the above photo though.....so see below.

I also added a sentiment from the Oval All set and then used some Diamond Glaze to finish it off.....you cant really see it in the photo but I put it on the small dots around the scalloped punch and on the butterfly wings.

Not bad for a first attempt.........cant wait to buy some more dies!!!!!

Stay safe

Happy Friday one and all!!!

Well thats another week gone and now it is only 3 weeks left until I finish up my current job, taking a week off and then starting the new one..........a little nervous!!

So I managed to get some bits done over the long weekend, June is a busy birthday month for me so I going that extra mile to get everything done in time, Steve has gone fishing so I can spend all night at my craft desk......joy!!! Couple of things have to go to Australia so they need finishing and getting in the post quick smart!

Anyway, enough of my mad ramblings lets show you what you popped on by to see.......

This little letter set was made using Lauren Meaders Timeless Template......she is amazing, I love her templates and I have bought soooooo many!!

I really cant remember where I got the idea for this but its a long note pad on a ring binder.

And lastly this little note book holder which I made for my friend Donna, I also made her a shopping list note pad to keep on the fridge, but this was just a little something for her to keep in her handbag......she loved them both!

Hope you like.......

Stay safe

Clean lines & Simple designs

Well I hope you have all had a lovely weekend......despite being 'on call' no one has rung me so my weekend has been nice and quiet. My car is still at the garage so we have been house bound, but we took Spud out for a walk this morning...bless her little legs, she was knock out when we got home!!

With the car out of action I have spent the last couple of days sat at my craft desk getting some cards made.......my scrap pile has been thinned out a bit but still working through it.............

I wanted to keep these ones simple, not too busy, with clean lines.......I keep looking at the Organic Grace stamps and I have to force myself to use them but once I have I love the way they come out!

This next one is for a friend, its not exactly for her as I am not going to write in it....its for her to keep or give to someone else. She doesnt know I am going to send it to her so ssshhhhhh! dont say anything!

Hope you like......leave a comment if you would like to!

Take care
