Oh these butterflies are so lovely and topped of with a few gems look really great. The outside flowers are stickers and the centre one is fluid chalk inks ,surprise surprise. The stamp set is Henbury lane.

These acetate cards have proved so popular.

Good news and Bad

The good news is I have just been promoted to full time supervisor of Arts and Crafts at The Range Bournemouth.
So you will be find me at work a lot more. Demos will carry on at the Range as normal.
The bad news I have had to stop doing the demos at The Range Plymouth. This has been a hard decision to take as I love go down to Plymouth the customers always make me so welcome and I have such a fantastic day.
Thank you ladies for all your help and support you never know I may see you if I am making a store visit.

Any one for tea

How I love these tea cups there are so many different techniques. Stamping, embossing, and decoupage so which ever one you like there is a product for you. I love the corner punch range there are 6 in total.

Ah this spring card has one layer of decoupage which is mounted on a twisted paper spring and a couple of flowers.

Bramble and Hawthorn on there swing these are from the bumper decoupage pack wow there is a lot in it for £9.99

Bramble and Hawthorn decoupage using the notelets and, flowers from the henbury lane range.

Tri fold

I think you will have realised I am loving Tri fold shutter cards at the moments so here is another.

A back view

Two for one

For this decoupage I used half of the elements on each card.

These acetate card uses the Henbury papers and Bramble and hawthorm stamps.

Love acetate card they are so easy to do just remember to cover the inside of the card as well.

Big thank you

Wendy you are a saviour thank you for bringing in the cancer research bags we bagged and boxed a further 600 this morning so our total to date is 1700 a fantastic achievement. I know there are still some to come in so this could rise by next week. If you still want to bring your cards in that would be great.

Tri Fold Shutter Album

Wow is was great fun and so simple once I worked out the measurements. We made this one at Technique Thursday last night if you want to know how its done come along to one of my scrapbook demos listed below at the range or pop along to my docraft demos and I will have one there for you to have a look at.

This is the album opened

Simple these couple of cards are made using the Laura Ashley flock rub ons they are so yummy and really easy to do. These are both positive images but we also did a couple using the negative images as well I will post these when I find them!!!

We all love Tina and she comes up with some lovely simple ideas while I am demoing away so I thought you would love to see here simple mat and layering invite. This was beautiful and very quick. It had to be "big brother" was watching!!!

Slider card easy once you have made one. This one has the ribbon positioned slighty differently so that it pulls out with ease.

Oh how I love this vellum it's so versatile This card has gems stuck onto the flower centres. Simple but stylish.

This was the first attempt at a butterfly and ribbon request.

This is so simple and can be reproduced for all your wedding needs. Invites, order of service, place cards and menu.

This is another variation of one I did in a demo early in the year.

This doesn't show to well but what I have done is stamped and embossed these 2 the silver one is all stamping and the other one is a stamped heart in clear with clear embossing powder and a wedding invitation peel off, a couple of gems and its finished very simple and cost effective.

So are you an Andrex person or a Stores own toilet roll buyer???? Yes what a strange question to be asking!! but it is all relivant to this project. As this cute mini scrapbook was made from flattened toilet roll tubes and "Persimmon" papers. I think you will agree that it is rather lovely and a talking point.
