I thought it would be a nice and cheery look for a Get Well Soon Card!


I also decoupaged the image, not that you can tell really in this picture! Looks better IRL!

Relovin' my PCS Stuff!!

I have always loved Pink Cat Studio stamps since before i stocked them in my old shop a few years back! I love all Melissa's designs they are just so cute n quirky and every image is perfect!I am soooooo pleased they now do Digi stamps which makes it so much more affordable for me and you get to have them straight away - perfect!

I decided to make a stylish Rockstar Girl card using Lily Rockstar, inspired by my daughter who loves all music at the moment!

I used a very simple layout from my card so sketch book i am currently making as i wanted it to look stylish n funky! I love these papers too! They are from an old DCWV Stack called All Dressed Up but lovely n glittery etc. I printed the sentiment on my laptop - can't remember what front but just a usual basic-ish one, off ms word.

Twilight Easel Box & Book Corner

Sorry i haven't been around for a few days. I have been working on several new projects i can't show you yet, hehe!! I keep seeing these Easel Boxes around on blogs so i decided to have a go & create one! I have just been watching the Twilight films, yes i know years late lol and i love them & am now obsessed! So with this in mind i thought i would create a Twilight inspired Easel Box.

I am going to give this little beauty to my friend's daughter Beth as she absolutely loves Twilight! As you can see i have also made a little Book Corner too! It is the perfect size to fit in the Easel Box drawer too and as i know Beth constantly reads the Twilight books over & over again i thought this would be perfect!!

Seeing as i have never made either of these before i am quite pleased how it turned out! If you want to make your own version this is Beate's Corner Bookmark Tutorial and here is Tammy's Desk Top Calender Tutorial - i just edited out the calender bit as i thought July would be a bit late for that!!

Supplies - Pixie Dust Studio Twilight Digi Stamps, Basic Grey Papers, Copics, Flowers (wild rose studios), Martha Stewart Punch, Scor-pal, Penny Black Wording Stamp & Doodlebug Jewels

Elzybells Storage

Well now that soon we won't be able to buy any more Elzybells Stamps, i thought i would make something nice for them to go into! I was originally thinking a binder of some sort but then i came across a fab treats box by Maria and thought this was ideal for my unmounted ones!

You can put anything in these little holders and they are super easy to make! I think i shall be making a few more of these for my other stamps n things!

Here is my new Elzy box stuffed full of Stamps ready to go on my new craft shelves that i haven't got yet!!

I know its an old Doodlebug paper but i am trying to use up a load of old papers so i can get some brand spankin new ones!! I shall try retake the piccies in the morning as there is not much light here now!

i couldn't find any challenges to enter this into so if anyone knows of any please leave me a comment! :D

This was a fab opportunity to ink up one of my latest Penny Black Stamps! It is a older design that they have brought back as unmounted aka Slapstick Stamps! I love it so much work perfectly!!
Now the only problem with starting Christmas stuff early is i have no new Christmas papers so i am having to use up stash i have accumilated over the past few years!! These are old KI Memories papers i had in my old shop! Nice colours though!
