Cocktail Time...

I started my scrapbook a few months ago, did one page and left it at that. Now I have my craft bug back I decided I really need to carry it on!

I love these two colours - Old Olive green and Rich Razzleberry - they are just lush and look so lovely together!

The page is about my friend, Mel and me having a love for cocktails - when ever we visit each other (they live in Durham and we are in Plymouth) we have to have cocktails. I have used the photos from our cocktails to show this. The little flowers are from the Itty Bitty set and look lovely with abit of bling!

Quite simple but cute!

Slowly getting back!!

I have been away for a few months trying to get my craft bug back. Summer is always a difficult time for me to get motivated and with our new garden being all finished I have spent most of my time out there (if I haven't been working!) So I am sorry that I haven't been around but I am slowly starting to get my craft bug back!!

It started yesterday when I needed something to do but didn't even know where to start let alone what to make. Then I remember something that I seen and played around and this is what I came up with...

I am a massive fan of the keep calm stuff and have seen this sloggan around on a few peoples blogs. I love it and going to get Mark to put it on my wall in the craft room (spare room!!)

Today I have had a play with the owl punch that I love so much and made a wedding card taken inspiration from a blog I have seen but cannot remember whos!

Right I am off for a cuppa and another surf to get some inspiration for a little girls birthday card!

Hope to be back sooner that last time!!

A Challenge!

So Julie (my Stampin' Up mum) set her Jems a challenge - to CASE a card from the new mini catalogue but with a twist we had to change it. This is what I came up with for the challenge.

I have taken the card from the front of the catalogue and changed it by using the Itty Bitty Bits set and the brights collection. I have also used the Boho Blosson punch to create the flower. In the middle of the flower I have used the bitty buttons.

Why not have a go your self and case a card from either catty and change something about it and see what you come up with - I'd love to see what you do

1st April.....Its here!!!!

Well today is launch day for the Mini Catty!!! Its so lush!!!!

Now for one thing that has landed and is soooooo lovely.... the BIG SHOT is here! There are also so exclusive embossing folders and dies to go with it. They are all so lovely!!

Right I am going to show you two cards today made with products from the mini catty and they are both products I am in love with..

This is made using the new set called Itty Bitty Bits and the Punch Pack that goes with it (the' hello' is from Hello Again). I have used the brights collection for the ink of the stamps and added alittle bit of bling - very simple but very effective!

For this card I have also stuck with the brights collection but I have used an Embosslits Die called Beautiful Wings for the big shot to creat the butterflys - this little die not only cuts out the butterflys but embosses it as well - I have to say I was very impressed with how crisp they came out looking! The sentiment is from the Just Believe set and again I have finished it off with some bling!

If anyone would like a copy of the new Mini Catty then please get in touch with me at moley44@hotmail.com

I have to just say sorry for my photos they aren't great but I have put the card to my camara somewhere so have had to use my phone!!

Promise I will be back soon and not leave it so long again!
