Bright birthday card

Tuesday, 10 January 2012

Winter can become rather dull, so when Hayley asked for a card for a boy who was turning one earlier this month I decided to got for bright and bold.



I combined some Celebrations DSP with card stock from the Brights family, a big star and some coordinating brads.



If you ever need cheering up I can highly recommend playing with some bight coloured card!

200th post! I'm with the band!

Monday, 14 March 2011

Wow, 200 posts! Amazing.

I'm preparing for yet another manic week here. Honestly, it never ends!

Yesterday I re-sorted all my craft stuff. My yummy new goodies from the SU Mini Catalogue arrived and I had nowhere to put it all so I had to buy some new bookcases! So now my whole wall behind my desk is taken up with Stampin' Up! yumminess! I can't show you though, because there are things on the shelves that will give the game away about the new catalogue! I have been having a good play with it all and am very excited about the amazing new products we have. As soon as April 1st comes I'll be bombarding you with new projects!

In the meantime, here is a scrapbook page using photos of a band called Stone Sour. I have been lucky enough to tour with several bands in my time, and Stone Sour are one of my faves. I had to take some pics as part of a uni project and I asked Jim, the bassist, if I could use him as my subject. He did offer to pose naked, but I stuck with live shots on stage. I processed and developed the photos myself in the uni darkroom, which was great fun.

So anyway, here are Jim and Corey at Manchester Academy.



I kept this page nice and simple. The photos were mounted on Basic Gray card andedged with the Spiral Border Punch to give the roll of film look.





The names were added right on to the photos using the Rub-Ons. I think they look fab.



I also used the Rub-Ons for the title, as well as some film strip. And, of course, the Music Notes Wheel and Star Punch.

So, I am off now to tackle this week! Don't expect too much of me - I have exactly no spare time at the moment!

More SAB goodness!

Thursday, 6 January 2011


Here's another fun and bright card using one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp sets, Punch Bunch.

As mentioned, we don't have the Two-Step Owl Punch just yet, but he is coming very soon! In the meantime he can be cut out. I gave him a party hat and some bunting made by punching just one point from the Star Punch. This was the other card I made at Julie's training yesterday, so thanks mummy for the fab designs!

Remember, it's easy to earn this set or the other SAB choices for free - see the main post at the topor click the menu on the right for full details.

Today I am waiting for UPS man to bring me more goodies and still battling on with the packing and unpacking!

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree ...

Monday, 25 October 2010


I tried something a bit different the other day and made this little Christmas tree. It's just a polystyrene cone, with squares of paper taped together corner to corner to make little cones and pinned in. The star has a cocktail stick in the middle which is pushed in the top. The papers are from the Jolly Holiday and Regals DSP stacks. I'm ALMOST thinking properly about Christmas now, but still too much to do before then!
