Ribbons...Anything Goes Challenge

Over on Anything Goes Challenge this week is Ribbons!I had great fun crafting in my PJ's! I decided to decorate the plain blue 12 x 12 paper to give it a bit of interest! I spritzed the background through some star sequin waste. I also stamped it with some textured background stamps that I've had for ages from Lakeland....when they sold crafting stuff! My PJ's came of worse...I wasnt watching which way the spray was facing...oops!

I stamped and embossed some hearts from my Fiskars clear stamps Punch Love which are stocked at the Craft Den. I have used 3 different variations of ribbon. The brown ribbon is from The Minds Eye range. Then I wrapped voile and lace ribbon from my stash round the squares.

To finish the page I have added a stamped journal block from my Papermania Signature Stamps and added some hydrangea flowers and pearls all from the Craft Den. The LO is part of my wedding album so the paper is from the Tim Holtz range Vintage Shabby range which can also be found at the Craft Den.

I love Sunday mornings.....

How productive do I look.....can you see my dining table under all of this?

This is the finished result. Another double page LO.....I had great fun. I dusted off the Big Shot and the Cricut machine. I have used Blonde Moment papers and my new Tim Holtz Angel Wings, which I love! All goodies can be purchased from the Craft Den.

 I added a few gemstone brads and some jewels to the crown.....Hey Presto!

 The title is taken from Isabel's dress.....

Christmas Comes Early on Anything Goes......

 Over on Anything Goes this week's theme is Christmas Come Early.....

Im not very good at Christmas, Im really Baa Humbug! But thanks to the Anything Goes Challenge I ve had a go. I like the non traditional colours so I bought a great pack of 6 x6 paper last year from the Craft Den. My design is very simple and quick. Im hoping to make a few over the next few months!

I have made a start....

I have a 12x12 album, and a large stash of Tim Holtz Idea-ology paper. Its about time I made a start on the Cyprus Wedding album....it was back in May! Hey, it's still 2010 so Im in the right year lol!

My inspiration came from the free greeting stamp on the front cover of The Craft Stamper, see page 6! They had completed a LO which used the stamp. It had a great title "Here comes the Girls" which is so appropriate for the 1st page of my Wedding Album. My brother Gavin came along for the Hen Night, he's a great dancer and a real party animal. He got so much stick from the lads too but enjoyed every minute of it!

I used some great stamps from the Craft Den by Scrappy Cat and I also dug out my Inkadinkado clear alphabet stamps to complete the title.

Recently Millie came to my house and painted a canvas for her rabbits Woffles and Spike, I'd mixed rather a lot of paint so decided to use it up on 2 small canvases. I keep in touch with Billy's new owners on a regular basis and she lent me a great book Rescue Me: My Life With The Battersea Dogs by Melissa Wareham. To say thank you I've decorated the canvases with photo's of Billy and his new sister Maddie the Staffie!

I hope she likes them!

Going Round in Circles........

 Over on Anything Goes this week's theme is " Going Round in Circles!"

I've made a card for my Step Dad Norman, he is 60 next month! I used a tri fold card with a scalloped front but I have cut it in half and stuck it back together! It is decorated in Dovecraft Masculine themed paper. The Happy Birthday greeting is from a Crafts-Too embossing folder. I lightly inked the punched letters with Versa Magic Cloud White to give the pearlised blue card a Denim look!. To finish I added some Cricut stars and a few gems.

I feel as thought I am going round in circles! Nothing has gone right for me this month and to top it all off I got the dreaded sickness bug at the weekend! Why me! That meant I missed my sewing class on Saturday, I didnt move far from the sofa. So Sunday I made up for it and caught up on a bit of scrapbooking, again with a circle theme. I had great fun with a piece of string and a pencil to design this layout! Im really pleased with the finished page as it includes 12 photos! I kept the backround simple by just adding a title, ribbon, flowers and jewels

Lol! Look at me and my Aunty Tricia playing with the table confetti!

When time and life permits I love to join in with the Anything Goes Challenge. This week is Super Cute! Ive made 2 cute Cupcake Cards, they were super easy to make which works for me at the moment! I have used some scrummy 12x12 paper from The Sweet Stack range and my Hero Arts Cup Cake stamps all from the Craft Den

My crafting is keeping me sane at the moment. I mentioned on my last post we were having a new arrival! Well Jake arrived having lived outside for the last 3 years. He was in worse condition than we expected and within a few days he needed an emergency operation, unfortunatley it was too much for him and he passed away at home with his foster family.

RIP Jakey Boy, run free at the Rainbow Bridge with Big G xxx
