Just popped by to say...

Eli is six weeks old now and spent a whole day with his doting Grandma last Saturday.  I'm totally besotted - I think I love him more than I love rubber stamps!  Eeeeeeeeeeeek that is a lot!
Maybe even more than I love scrap booking with the amazing Craft Artist programme by Serif.  That programme is totally addictive and is the explanation of why I am still on the computer at one in the morning.

To create my page I used the brilliant sketch at Stuck on Sketches.  I found their blog on Feline Playful and I'm so glad I did as the work on show by the DT is fabulous and the sketch was just so brilliant in giving me a starting point for a Craft Artist page.

At the moment my page is waiting to be printed, but when it is I intend adding some bling to the flower centres and maybe other spots too.
This is the matching page.  I have to come clean and admit that this one was created using one of the predone pages on Craft Artist as a starting point, but a girl has to learn somehow and they are sooooooooooo useful and quick to do.

Hope everyone is having as brilliant a time this summer as I am.  Don't seem to be getting much done, but busy all the time.  How is that possible?

Take care.

Love and smiles.

Acetate on show at Bah! Humbug! ...

Oooooooooooh love acetate.  Infact I've just ordered a huge batch of inkjet printable, but naughty Mr Postman didn't deliver it in time for our challenge this week at Bah! Humbug!

I decided to go for a very simple card using a Marianne/Nellie Snellen die to cut out a silver mount and white cuttle bugged circle.  The snowflake was cut out of glitter foam using one of the snowflakes in a Marianne set.  A gem in the centre and silver border peel offs and sentiment finish the card.

The only draw back with acetate is that you have cut more sections to give a neat finish to the inside of the card, but using die cuts makes that so easy as the shapes are exactly the same size.

My card is also for the following challenges...

• Divas by Design - Die cuts or punches
• For Fun Challenges - Christmas

Have a fun weekend everyone.

Quick run to Primark!...

Popped in to Primark yesterday as I saw the sale sign and in the past I've had some great jewelry items for using on cards, but this time I hit the jackpot!  How gorgeous is this necklace and charm bracelet?  Reduced to just one pound each!  Yeah - fantastic!

Tried to publish this post this morning, but naughty Mr Blogger wouldn't let me so if there are none left you know who to blame.

Check out the super size charms on the bracelet - oh so gorgeous for both cards and scrapbooking. 

Quite nice as a bracelet for on holiday too.  Maybe I'll wear it before breaking it up.

Hope if you like them they are still available at your local Primark.
