Travel Notes!

Morning.... wow what a busy couple of weeks.... I really would like to be able to craft and blog more, but the job takes me away from that for a few weeks of the month so I'll be far more sporadic in the future.. although looking forward to a few days off in a couple of weeks to catch up...

Last week Switzerland, this week Dubai, so I decided to make myself a little travel journal to take with me....

I simply removed the front of the plain book and re-covered with this map paper (SU retired) and added a little tag... It was really quick and easy and far more fun than a plain note book!

I'm hoping to get some cards made this afternoon to show you this week whilst I'm away.. but we will see how my mojo is.. been pretty much non-existent recently!

Hope you have a great Sunday and for all those UK mums out there a fab Mother's day!

With Love

Morning... It's finally release day at Clearly Besotted and I have one last teaser for you today... It's been a pleasure to be able to share my creations with you this month and I hope you are looking forward to 10pm tonight!

Today I have used the "On Your Day" stamps and matching dies... and I seem to have a thing for spotty paper this week too!!

I think this set is a favourite this month, and the flower is also perfect for last minute Mother's day cards too!

Hope you have a fabulous Thurday

Inky Engagement..

Morning, it's not often I get inky but I wanted to do a different background for these beautiful graphic stamps from this months CBS release. For this card I have used the Mr & Mrs set!

Fabulous purple distress ink works well with the while embossing and I have added a little bit of stitching and bling as well!

I have used the sketch from this weeks CASe This Sketch as Inspiration #112

Hopefully this will post, blogger is playing up at the moment so we can only hope!

Join me tomorrow for the final teaser and the full release...

Have a great Wednesday!

Grateful For You!

Morning.. It's day 2 of teasers at Clearly Besotted and today I have a really quick card using the "Flower Blocks" set... I have made a tiny card using stitched dies to make the base.

I simply stamped onto crumbcake card stock the solid flower block with shadow ink, used the matching die to cut it out and then smothered it in wink of stella... Simples..

Not sure where the weekend went, didn't really get as much done as planned and crazy work week ahead... I'll see you tomorrow for more teasers...

Sunburst... CBS Teasers Day 1

Morning.. remember me? Sorry I had to take a little hiatus due to work commitments and the fact I wasn't in the country to craft at all :-( I need to find something I can take with me easily on my travels!.. My plan for today is to spend the whole day crafting of some description, so in the next couple of weeks I'll have something different to show you!

Anyhow, onto today... I'm am honoured to again be designing for Clearly Besotted again this month and the release this month is fabulous as always.. Here is today's card using the "Sunburst" set with one of the older word dies....
