A Foggy Day

I can't believe I forgot to blog yesterday, I blame it on the fog, it was quite thick here yesterday and hung around most of the day.  Then when night fell it was back again!!!

To chase away some of those foggy blues heres a spring like card

I've used the blooming marvellous stamp set again (free when you spend £45 during sale-a-bration), punched out the butterfly with the bitty butterfly punch and added a sentiment from the teeny tiny sentiments set.

Here's the inside

A Very Crafty Day

It was a very crafty day yesterday for Scott and I.  His Auntie gave him a till roll and asked him if he could write a really long story on it.  So he's on the job, he has started with the story of the three little pigs and was really disappointed yesterday when he's not finished it when it was time to go home.  He'll get to finish it today hopefully.

Meanwhile I was stamping candles again.  I just love the effect you get.

I've used the Blooming marvellous stamp set for these candles which is free during sale abration,  The inks used are so saffron, pool party and midnight muse.  These are very easy to make, you just stamp your design onto tissue paper, then place the tissue paper on to the candle, then wrap some grease proof paper tightly around the candle and heat up the stamped design with your heat gun, you can see the tissue paper 'turn' as it melts into the candle.  Why not give it a go?

Happy crafting

Birthday gift box

Well it's a very exciting day for me today, I have managed to obtain a studio with the Artfuel group and today they have their grand opening. This means that the public can come for a look around, meet the artists and find out about workshops and exhibitions that are going to be held there. Eventually they are hoping to open a little cafe there and there is already a shop where you can buy some of the artists work. It's from 2 to 8pm today so if you're in Doncaster why not pop along, Artfuel is situated in Portland Place, Portland Place is accessed from the roundabout on Trafford Way close to the train station. Turn onto Cleveland Street, then left onto Duke Street & left again through the archway into Spring Gardens and straight on towards the large public car park on the corner of Trafford Way. Artfuel is in the large brick building with towers to the right of the car park.

So on to Tina's gift box, which is just one of stampin up's kraft gift boxes decorated up.
I've used the same colour combo that I used on the card of midnight muse, so saffron and pool party, I've also used some of the silver glimmer paper to add a bit of bling and popped on two pool party buttons which are free as part of sale-a-bration if you spend £45, that I've used as a fastener I filled it full of jelly babies lol and there were also two candy watches to help Tina with her time keeping.

Dreams, sick children, new glasses and another birthday!

Well what a day yesterday, I was feeling much more like myself only to have scotty too hotty come down with the dreaded lurgie.  However it did give him time to make a valentines card for his girlfriend lol.   I also had to pick up my new glasses yesterday which are varifocals  They are making me feel very sick, which is apparently normal until I get used to them.  I have to remember to 'point my nose' to what I'm looking at rather than just moving my eyes.  And (you should never ever start a sentence with and lol) to top all this off I had a dream that David Cameron stole all my punches.  The Great Raymundo found this hilarious and asked me if I was trying to sign Mr Cameron up as a demonstrator.

Anyhoo on to the card.  I made this for my friend Tina,  she is the one friend who I can count on to get me into trouble ;) lots of it.  If there is a 'Thick of it' to be in it's a good bet it'll be me and Tina and it was her birthday last Friday.

I've used a combination of Pool Party, Midnight Muse and So Saffron card and ink.  I've used the Teeny Tiny sentiments Stamp set and the Bloomin Marvelous stamp set which you can get FREE! with an order of just £45 during the Sale-a-bration period. Punches I've used are the scalloped circle and circle, Scallop Trim Border, word window and Modern Label.

Next time I'll show you the gift box I made for her.  If you would like any of the items I used to make this card please email me.
