How many?

36 altogether. 31 for me, 2 for a friend and 3 duplicates. Think I panic bought a bit!!

Bind It All

I got a fantastic bargain yesterday. One of the German scrapbooking stalls was doing a special offer on a Bind it all with lots of different sizes of wires in a bag. I paid 59 euros for it, which works out at about £39.34. When I got home I looked online and found that to get all that it would have cost me 105 euros, which is £70.50, so I saved over £30!!
Just got to work it all out now!!:-)Watch this space!

My First Bella

A very nice lady on SCS sent me some Bellas as a RAK and here is my first Bella card. She is coloured in with my prisma pencils and mineral spirits. I used my Cricut for the shaped pieces and a cuttlebug folder for the embossing. The papers are just bits that I had in my left over box.

ATC Holder

It was my turn to show what I had made with my HOTP DT kit on Tuesday and this is what I made. An ATC holder. To hold the ATCs in I used some photo corners.

Pirate Card

Another blast from the past, I also found this in my files. The images are stamps from Stampin Up, a set called Ahoy Matey. Must start using my SU sets more.

Simply stamping entries

I came across these two in my files today and thought I would show them. I sent them in for the Simply Stamping's Stamper of the Year competition. I didn't win but I got an honourable mention. Shame that mag went out of production.

Tilda Door Hanger

I made this a while ago and forgot to blog it!! The undressed hanger was in the August GoGo kit and the papers are from Urban Lily. I have so much of that paper but I've never used it, I just like to look at it but I was brave. :-) and cut it up. The Tildas are coloured in with prisma color pencils and odorless spirit.

Don't forget you can see my Magnolia cards in a slide show at the bottom of the page. :-)

HOTP personal shopper October Kit

Our first DT kit arrived a few days ago. Such a big kit! It's like 3 kits in 1. It has themes of Halloween, Fall and Friends. I went straight for the Halloween kit to make my first projects. And here they are. I made a door hanger and a card. I still have lots of Halloween papers left though. I'll be showing my projects week by week on here as they can't be shown until I show them on the

Crop til you drop blog.

Robbyn

Here's my youngest, Robbyn. She started FS2 today, which means she gets to wear uniform for the first time and go to school till 3pm. Well she won't for the first three weeks she will come home at 1pm and then stay till 3pm. Her brother Tyrrell started Y1 today.So that's all four of my kids at full time school now!! Blimey how time flies!!

A challenge?

If you fancy doing a weekly challenge come on over to http://ctyd.blogspot.com/. One of the design team (includes me :-) ) sets a weekly challenge. It can be anything so if you're a scrapbooker, cardmaker, into ATCs or even altered art why not have a go!

Enjoy your day

All it ever seems to do here is rain. So I made this card in bright cheery colours to cheer me up. The stamped image is from "Everything nice" , a Stampin Up set. The enjoy your day is also from a set from Stampin Up.

Burgundy Tilda

I had some left over papers from my GoGo monthly kit so I used them on this card. They are by Kelly Panacci (love her papers). Tilda stamp from www.dreamcottage.nu and prima flowers.
