2 for 1 Butterfly cards

I thought i'd have a play with my new butterfly punch.  Keeping to an autumnal colour scheme, I kept both the positive and negative butterfly shapes that were created and thus was able to make 2 cards from one process!

Trendy Tree Thank Yous

I finally got round to making  some cards! I had a go with my Stampin' Up Trendy Trees Stamping wheel and choc ink. And then did a bit of punching with 2 martha stewart punches (lace and scallop) and voila ~ three cards in one evening!

Update: 6/11/10

Here's another one I just made using the left overs from this batch of cards/colours.

I bought the butterfly stickers from the states.  Their bronze colour works really well with rest of the hues.

Sweetpea stamp set

I've been playing with my latest Stampin' Up set today. Managed to get through a big pile of blank postcards in the process!
Here's what I came up with:

 

Dear Lizzy online class

Well, I signed up for this class from Elizabeth Kartchner's blog and have only just got round to starting it! I received a packaged in the post with all the fabric flowers in which was v.exciting (i love receiving parcels!!) and have just finished pinning the first part.

Pinning the left hand side!

I will keep you up-dated as it progresses!

Wedding scrapbook pages~ Z&B

Here's one of quite a few wedding scrap book pages I have created. I started with the patterned background pages from Scrapaholix's february kit and went for green as a contrasting colour to the purples.

I've used an array of cutting tools to create the shapes shown: punches (for the scalloped edges and small squares) Creative Memories Custom Cutting System -circles and the black swirly frame was made with a die and the Big shot die cutting machine

Fabric Rehab

Fabric is one of those things I keep meaning to get back in to, and this website might have just done the trick. A friend told me about "Fabric Rehab" the other day.

Its quite simple to navigate, and has the advantage of prices in pounds! (I so often stumble across lovely websites and then find its all in dollars and then has to be shipped from the US etc etc).

I like their mini bundles and "emergency budget bundle" (only £2!)

Stamping all the way ~ b'day card

I couldn't sleep much last night so in the end decided to do something productive-and make a card!
I got out my Stamp' Up! stamp sets and used the following:
I stamped the background first using a flower from 'Out of the box' and one from 'Polka Dot punches'. The central motif is from 'On a pedestal'. I stamped these bits separately, cut them out and raised them a bit from the page with foam dots. The little cherry stamp was then great to fill the gaps where the background shapes don't meet exactly.
And voila ~ I made a card!

One year on

I was part of a Scrapaholix group for a few months (until it closed) and each month you were given a pack of papers to work with.
This layout was with the BoBunny "Flutter Butter" papers and was for the Jan 2010 club. I came across a gorgeous layout on the scrapaholix gallery and have basically "scrap-lifted" it!

The couple photo is again taken by Alice Jackman, when we visited in July/August 2009. I had a go with her camera -and took photos of our rings :)
