Happy Birthday Dad!

Just thought I would share the birthday card I made for my Dad... It's another of my pull out cards.

I thought the train from the Traveler stamp set would look so cool coming out of a tunnel! What do you think?

I used the sentiments from Guy Greetings and the Decorative Dots embossing folder.

I think the train looks so awesome heat embossed.

Good news - after some sticky patches with the contractor messing us around the studio is now under way. So tonight I ordered all the accessories. Eeek! So exciting...

Tables and chairs are ordered too! And everything is purple, hot pink and lime green, I  think it will all look amazing against the predominantly white room. I promise there will be pictures soon! Maybe Thursday as I have a class tomorrow!

I also worked on some more samples at the weekend... some of which WILL end up in next months classes because they are gorgeous!

TTFN - I'm off to bed now!

Nearly Here!

I'm so excited that it's nearly Christmas! Where has the year gone? The great news is that for the first time I have truly preserved some memories using the Project Life products... rather than just downloading all the pictures to the PC never to be seen again!

I've been finishing up some little bits and pieces... including all the wrapping! Goodness it gives me backache!

I made a little keepsake box for each and every lady I work with - 20 in total. I LOVE the Curvy Keepsake Die!

I'm afraid the pics aren't great as I was in a bit of a rush! I cut out the Curvy Keepsake boxes and I stamped the Very Vanilla card stock in gold with the I Love Lace background stamp.

I cut out the corresponding tags and heat embossed them in gold too with the Bright & Beautiful small star.

I popped a little scented tealight in each one, decorated with gold Washi Tape and then closed them up and tied on the tags with a little Gold Bakers Twine.

I think they're really cute and hope everyone will like them. The men are each getting one of the Traveler desk calendars I posted a short while back.

I am placing a final order on the 16th of December which may arrive for Christmas! So if there's anything you would like to add - please send it to me tomorrow.

Desk Calendar

Well - the weekend is nearly over. Hubby has gone to see Billy Idol in London and I've been busy in my little craft room today.

I've seen cards in this style and someone had made calendars like it... I'm sure! I just can't for the life of me remember where I saw them.

I used the Traveler set from the main catalogue - I've had my eye on the set for a while and succumbed on my last order as I had earned a free stamp set for my early convention registration.

You can just see I have also used the World Map, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch and Window Frames framelits.

I liked them so much I made a whole batch... and recorded a video tutorial as well! Go on - give them a try!

Have a good week at work and I hope no-one gets badly affected by the rain they are forecasting!
