Sometimes Life is....

......just a bowl of cherries.....

made this for a male friend who loves music, and has various other hobbies....

none of which I had stamps for!

Luckily the Modern Medley paper from Stampin' Up! came to the rescue.

The stamp on the left is from my new set Giggle Greetings,

the sentiment on the right from a retired set,

and the cherry from Create a Cupcake,

and nearly forgot.....Postcard is a great stamp too!

Dedicated....

Tonight's post is dedicated to all those who have passed on this week...

To those who have lost their best friends...

both human and furry...

may they rest in peace, and may you take comfort in your memories xxx 

New Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue from Stampin' Up!

Get started on all your Autumn/Winter projects!

Happy Crafting!

Deborah's cat

Hiya! Thanks for dropping by....

been a bit lapse in my posts of late, 

but hoping to have a bit of a catch-up.

Here's one of my new sets from Stampin' Up!

it's called Giggle Greetings, and is such FUN!

Deborah's cats are white, hence I didn't colour him in.

Apologies for the bad photography,

but hoping you can make out the paw prints in the background

(from my old stash).

The top left corner was a bit bare, so I punched some small circles,

with a view to adding faux candy dots, but this paw print evolved instead!

Just punched from the same paper.

I think it's Blushing Bride...hence a very pale pink!

If you outline the image with a marker pen in a pale colour,

such as blue or grey....it makes it pop more.

Simples!

Happy Birthday Roger!

Couldn't wait to play with my new Stampin' Up! set

Giggles Greetings...

I decoupaged the cheese and candle,

and added lots of cheesy holes with an old punch from my stash.

Lots more Giggles to come....I LOVE IT!

Hope you had a fab birthday Roger!

snowflakes are falling.....

well, ok, not real ones!

My plan is to make a snowflake garland......

I'm not normally ahead of time, but I thought that if I started now,

I could just do them when I have a few minutes to spare (!)....

well, that's the plan, and we all know, that all the best laid plans....

Can you see the coin?

My next ones won't be quite so large....

I'm also making a bobbin lace bell-pull decoration for xmas...

with the intention of making a few more...

Then there's the xmas cards........

which reminds me.....my September card making class will be xmas cards!

I normally end up making mine in a rush a week or two before,

so I'm hoping this year will be different!

I don't like rushing, do you? 

Madness? Mosaic Madness!

Hi there!

Hope you are having a good weekend!

Just thought I'd share a couple of ideas with Mosaic Madness,

showing you can use lots of Stampin' Up! sets for all year round,

just by changing the colour scheme!

The first is Strawberry Slush-ness.....

the card has been cut and spliced with printed acetate...

This has been 'christmassed' with cherry cobbler and old olive on crumb cake... 

So, which one do you prefer?

Now have a go yourself!

Take one stamp set,

do it in one colour scheme,

then try it in christmassy colours!

Stamps are not just for Christmas!

Happy Crafting!
