This one's for you Pat.....


My lovely SU sister Pat yesterday told me that she looks in on my blog everyday so this one is for her.
.
I was in a local seaside store (the kind that sell everything!!!) and found these A6 sized canvas packs for a ridiculous price and immediately thought SU. I think it helped that they were card sized so designing something wasn't too daunting.
.
As we are in the process of doing up our house I thought about something for Daughter no 2's bedroom... Trouble is she is a fantastic artist at aged 11 so no pressure there then!!!
.
In the end I plumped for Vintage Vogue combined with my favourite punch, Two Step Bird (I love how versitile this punch is) .
.
Pat, I hope you like this and Thank You for looking in everyday. I promise to try and blog more often x

An English Country Garden.....

I have waited to share this card with you as I wanted to make sure my SU mummy, KraftyBiker, had received hers.
.
I made this card after seeing something similar in a mag. At first I mistook their image to be this one from "Because I Care" (a level 1 hostess gift).
I decided to CASE the card anyway but use the SU image.
.

I made KraftyBikers in Soft Suede as it reminded me of her two cats but the card above is done in River Rock..... Is there a better colour at the mo???
.
Once I had done this one I just couldn't stop and ended up making a futher 5 designs using the same stamp set. This is going to be the set for my first all day class in Louth on March 5th.
.
If you would like to join me for this class or would like the opportunity to earn this stamp set free for yourself then email me at: nuttysgirl@sky.com or call 07917631483

LOVE LETTER.....

Before my move to Mablethorpe I lived near Stamford and this is where I signed up to be a Demo. I left many good friends down there who are also part of my Stampers 10. Every now and again (ok, more often than not!) I head on down there for a get together with the girls.

Last time I went they asked me to bring a little something to do and this was it.





This is a design I saw following a link on ILWS. I thought I'd saved the details in my fav folder but can't for the life of me find it now. I will link back just as soon as I find it. The original was done in blue and held school photos. I wanted something a little more vintage and romantic so played around and this is the result.

I hope you like and will be back with more soon

What a class.....

WED 9th FEB - LOUTH

Setting out with nerves more like jelly than steel I took myself of to Louth to face my first class since moving up here.
I should have known better, crafters are a friendly bunch no matter where in the world you are and these guys (ok 5 ladies and 1 bloke) were no exception.
Not having a clue as to their levels of ability and with Valentines fast approaching I decided on the card and box above. It has the ability to be as simple or as complex as you wish so fit the bill for a first class. I have to say everyone did a fantastic job, even Chris who has never made a card in his life and turned up armed with just 2 pairs of scissors and a willingness to have a go. I wish I had that confidence some days!!!
Now I've had a few more reminders about how to get photos from camera to computer I hope to show some more of my recent projects over the next few days.
Hope you all had a good Valentines x
