Scrap Booking

When we had our crafting session at quarterly training we tried something new... Michelle gave us a kit and we had 45 minutes to create something, then everyone shared their creations.

Traci Cornelius - fellow Pinkie created a lovely Scrap Book page and I loved it so much I decided to do my own little version with a couple of the photo's I took in Italy. I thought it would be a nice momento for my Aunt and Uncle when they get back from Italy in November.

The base is 12x12 Coastal Cabana, the flowers are all from the new Flower Shop set and inked in Wisteria Wonder, the gorgeous peachy colour is Crisp Canteloupe. Do you see the ruffled ribbon? Well it is the new Ruffle Stretch Trim and I am in love with it! 

The corners are the new Chevron Ribbon in Wisteria Wonder and the letters are stamped using the new Sketch Alphabet, punched out with the Petite Curly Label punch.

You'll notice the flowers on the bottom left look a little different... well they were stamped on vellum - I love vellum!

The scallops were cut using Large Scallop Edgelit - made SO much easier with the new Magnetic Plate for the Big Shot. I then used one of the Delicate Designs embossing folders.

Two of the flowers have large pearls in the centre.

What do you all think? I'm dead chuffed and really enjoyed making it!

Saleabration Sneak Peek again!

Well folks, we've had a little snow this week and I am hoping we don't get too much more! Though I must admit it has been novel bringing clean dogs home from their walks!

I've been working on a few samples to give you a sneak preview of what sort of freebies you can expect to be able to claim with your orders when Sale-a-bration kicks off next week! If you haven't booked a party, don't despair you can still earn these freebie stamp sets, papers and other accessories with any order of £45.

What is even better is that you can earn unlimited items, so for £90 you get 2 free items, £135 you get 3 and so on!

The first card uses the Feeling Sentimental stamp set, this set includes a versatile sentiment and 3 images.

The second card uses the Patterned Occasions stamp set, each of the images includes a little sentiment but if you don't want to include the text you can either mask it or, like I have here, cut out the images. The little sentiment at the bottom is from Pretty Petites and has been punched out with another Sale-a-bration item, the Petite Curly Label punch.

The next card incorporates THREE Sale-a-bration items. A stamp from the Patterned Occasions set, Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper and the cutest little button from the Sycamore Street ribbon and brad set.

Finally I used the Bloomin Marvelous stamp set to create the really simple card below. As you can see, you don't have to be a creative genius to make some lovely cards with these fantastic freebies! So get working on your wishlist and get in touch to place your orders!
