Anything but a card.........

.......is the theme over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge, so here is what i have for this week.........................

I joined a 'share' for these coffee bags on the forum i belong to...............one lovely person offers up the share, lots of us join in and get the goodies cheaper by buying in bulk! Some online stores only sell in 250's or 500's etc etc, so doing it like this we all get a few rather than hundreds :)

Mine has cotton wool inside but of course the ideal scenario would be to fill them with something totally yummy..........and why not, especially for Christmas!

I've used a mixture of supplies today, some from my older stash and some Stampin' Up! any questions feel free to ask.......and...................hopefully i will see you again soon ;-D

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

It has been such a long time since i played along with the Penny Black challenge so today i thought i would have a go!
There is a fabulous sketch today and you know how i love a good sketch to work from! and here it is................I am in Christmas Crafting Frenzy at the moment as it is only two weeks to my all day event and of course i need lots of samples for the lovely ladies that will be attending................here is my second card of the day!

Aren't they cute!!

I have been very disciplined since i started my Stampin' Up! business and have not purchased a single crafty item from another company but.................there are some things that i just won't be able to sell on and they are...............my Penny Black stamps(cause i LOVE them) my Promarkers and my Basic Grey papers! Admittedly, i don't use them very often but i will always have room for them in my stash :)

If you would like to view the other card i made today, you will find it here

Enjoy the rest of your weekend..........

It's been a while......

......since i posted anything here! I LOVE being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, but i do seriously miss all the challenges i used to play along with and also lots of my regular stash. I have not shown you anything for ages!!!! so to make up for that i have a FREE tutorial for you :)

If you pop over to Crescent Stampin' and look in the right side bar you will see a 'handbag' style box......click on the picture and it will show you the tutorial. The tutorial is for the male version of the bag......perfect for Father's Day this Sunday, or if you change the papers and the handle you could make the pretty female version! I hope you will enjoy making one of your own and do remember to add a link so that i can come and have a look at what you've made.....

Enjoy! :)

Easter Treats

After seeing this cute little basket over on SCS i was desperate to have a go myself, so here's one i made earlier this week along with a card to go with it.................
A certain 'little person' will be receiving these for her Easter gift!

All materials used on the basket are Stampin' Up!.... shredded tissue from a local shop and the lovely choccy eggs which are M&S......yummy!!

See you soon ;-D
