30th Anniversary Scrapbook

Hi All, 

Today I want to share with you some pages that I have made with the help of my husband (yes you hard it right my wonderful hubby spent many hours with me) for my mum and dads wedding anniversary present, last July they celebrated there 30th Wedding Anniversary and I thought there was no better way then to celebrate it with a memory book of over the years. All in all we did 30 pages, one for every year, with pages celebrating events that have happened with my mum and dad over the years. 

I used various techniques when doing then scrapbook, from paper pricking, stamping, embossing and of course using my wonderful cricut machine. 

I wont keep you any longer and I hope you enjoy looking at the pages I have selected to put on here. 

Any comments are greatly appreciated. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Fathers Day Cards

Happy Fathers Day to all Dads

Well as expected I have created two cards for my dad and father in law.

I must say I am equally pleased with both of them, and they took no time at all to make, was just a bit of throw it together see what happens episode.

The teddy on the red card has been coloured using promarkers and prisma pencils, the cut around it is from hexoctagon nestabilities, the writing and the star are from the Martha Stewart Occasion Cartridge.


The second card has again simply been matted and layered and then the saying cut from the cricut machine again the using the Martha Stewart Cartridge as above.

Hope you like these, please feel free to leave any comments.

Any questions please ask.

Chester Zoo Scrapbook

Afternoon All,

Well my poor little blog has been neglected by me over these last few months. We have been having work done in the house so I haven't had chance to do anything.

We did get away in 2011 for our wedding anniversary and we went to Chester Zoo and I have only just finished the scrapbook for that.

I have used a lot of my crafting CD mostly Joanna Sheen Jayne Netley Meyhew, for backing papers. As well as this I have used my Cricut Machine on every page, I have 21 cartridges and I must have used something of every single cartridge.

Many thanks for taking the time to look any questions please ask .

Having A Change

Hi All, 

Just thought that I would drop by seen though I have not posted since the 11th January. 

I have decided to take a step back in my card making and only do special cards and cards for the immediate family. 

I am having going to concentrate more on scrap booking, I have been doing this for a while now and noticed that I enjoy this much more then cards at the moment, so I am off to go photograph my pages and i will share them with you all soon.

Happy Crafting

Birthday Elephant

Morning All,

This card is for my husband, it is his 32nd Birthday today.

I got this stamp for Christmas and as soon as I seen it it reminded me off my husband so much, he hates wearing ties and every time he has to put one on it all ends up in a muddle pretty much like this poor little elephant.
The Stamp is from Crafters Companion, Humphrey's Corner range. I have matted and layered it using various papers, and  using a new set of Nestabilites, if my memory is correct I believe they are Labels 17.

Birthday Celebrations

Afternoon All,

Here is a card I made between Christmas and New Year for my brothers Girlfriend.

The card is made using lots of new items I got for Christmas, one being the lovely Stamp from SWALK by Crafters Companion.
I coloured in the images using Spectrum Noirs again from Crafters Companion.
The backing paper is one from my stash so I am not sure where that come from. The flowers are from various places. The sentiment "You Deserve a treat" is of the same stamp set from Crafters Companion I have finished the sentiment with a corner rounder and two gem flowers.

I have submitted this card to the two following blogs

My Mums Craft Shop  - Something new (or use your stash)



Thanks for looking

Just a quick note to let you know that please be gentle with me with regards to the photos, my lovely hubby got me a new camera for Christmas, and I am just getting to grips with it, the camera is all technical with loads of different options on it, so please be gentle and hopefully the more I use it the better the pics will be.
