Simples....

This card is made using the Go Green range from Born to Shop and Do Crafts.

It's a very simple card to make and a great one to have as a just in case card.

Brownie pack holiday

has now been and gone (well this one has..... I'm away again in 6 weeks!! lol).
Emma was our 'Leader' for this pack holiday, in fact it was her test camp.
She did very well.
This was the card that I made her - all of the Brownies signed it too.....

Well done Emma!!

Ruby wedding

A few weeks ago I made a bundle of ruby wedding invites up for the Mum of one of my friends.
My friend then asked me to make up a card for them to give to her parents.

I thought I would use the same stamp that I had used to make the invites up.

This is what I came up with.......

They all seemed to like it.

Off to get some more work done.... no rest for the wicked as they say

My little place in the world.....

I am often asked about my desk and what my room looks like............. well here are a couple of pictures to show you my little place in the craftin world.....

You'll often find me here working away on craft projects, samples for demos or Guiding paperwork....... facebook is always on and I'm often chatting on skype too!

Now the deal is............. I've shown you mine so now you have to show me yours!!!
lol

A little gift

I made this at my last demo and thought it would make a nice little gift for anyone...... handy to have a few made up to use as gifts for Teachers or as a stocking filler.
It's a great thing for children to make too!

Here is one I make with some of the new Honey & Hugs range from Do Crafts....

The flower clock,

This is the flower clock that is in Edinburgh.
Isn't it amazing?
Girlguiding is 100 years old this year and what a party we have been having!!
If you happen to be in Edinburgh, go and have a look at the flower clock, you'll find it in the gardens.

The work that goes into this clock is amazing - well done to everyone who was involved in this!

For my sisters......

these are the cards that I made for my sister's birthday,

This card was the one that I gave to Sara,

and this was the card that I gave to Amanda,

I know they had an amazing birthday - filled with surprises!! (No comment about my BIL or Amanda's boyfriend cooking in the nude!! lol)..........

Fun with skype.....

Just the other week I was mucking around on skype with Jo......... well this was the result of it!!,

I don't think either of us have laughed so much in a long time.
If you have never tried skype before, I can really recommend it.
I love the way that I can get to see my niece as she grows up and my sisters even though they live so far away.
I can even have a chat with my SIL who is in Auz.......

Sarah's card

This was the card that I made for Sarah for her birthday.
I really love Forever Friends bears..... they are sooooooo cute.....
I know she had an amazing day..... even though she did spend it with thousand of screaming Guides and Leaders! lol

Another 'John Byars' card

I really do love all of the designs that have been created by John Byars. He is such a talented artist and all of the stamps and decoupage are just a joy to demo and design with.
I just can't get enough of them.
This one was one that I made for a friend - she turned the big 60 and I hope she loved the card.

Wow.......

I think that sums up my demo this week!
I had a great day - and yes, I spent some money too!! Well who could resist some of the new Cosy Christmas from Forever Friends......
I'll be back later on this week with some pictures of some of the things I made....
I need to get a holder for my camera too so that I can make some videos too....
Well done to everyone who I taught the origami star to...... piccies to follow!!

Hope you have all had a great weekend....

Another box card today

but this time I have made it with the 'Born to shop' range....

This has to be one of my favourite sayings from the range...
I no longer skinny dip - I chunky dunk!!!
It makes me smile every time I read it.

Hopefully I will be able to show you some of the things I have been working on for Doolicraft very soon.... they are bringing out some wondeful goodies very soon!!!
