A variation on a theme this one uses kraft card which is the new papermania 300gsm range Noel is a Christmas chipboard that I coloured with fluid chalks. I also used the masking technique to put the litte deer in front of the large one.

Easel card one step further I will put a tutorial up for this one and the flowers.

This card shows the punched flowers better.

Woodland folk is so cute this card is using the double sided papers, decoupage from the 8x8 pack a few stars and of course the edges need chalking with the fuid chalks.

These stickers are really nice my tip for using the larger ones is to cover with masking tape and rub down with an embossing tool gently ift and place on you card rub down with your finger and the image will come of nicely. If mounting onto glitter card don't forget your bald patch.

This card is made using the orienta tea bag papers. The colours are really lovley.

I am pleased to announce the safe arrival of the most beautiful baby in the world. I am the proud Nana to Paige all 9lb 7oz of her. Well done Oliver and Laura.

What is this??? When my grand daughter arrives I will show you. She is due today and we are really excited. I apoligize now for the next few weeks of posts as she will feature a lot I think.

Her it is the Christmas Ball

I apoligise for the explanation but unfortunatly putting instructions into words and in reverse order is not my forte. I hope you have as much fun doing this as I did and call back again as I will be loading tons of more things on soon.

Click on older posts to see the rest of the ball.

You will need 60 squares and a bottle of Anita's Tacky glue. Your glue needs to be strong to hold the folds together.

Take a square it can be any size but I would suggest no bigger than 3 inch and no smaller than 13/4 inch

Fold your square in half corner to corner.

With the fold line facing you fold the outside point up corner.

Fold the flap back so it sits on the outside edge.

place your fingers into the flaps and fold back.

Fold the flaps back so they are in the inside of the petal.

Fold the flaps back to create a square and put your glue on the outside of the flap and stick together. See next photo.

Petal

Stick 2 together. Carry on until you have used 5 petals.

One finished flower.

Stick together until you have created 2 sides of six each.

Continue to build up and create two halfs. Lay the ribbon across the inside base leaving the ends out and making a loop for hanging.

This is the finished ball thank you linda for letting me use yours. Finish off with beads to the end of the ribbons.

Back to work

I am back to work today still coughing but if I stay home till it stops it could be another month so going to give it ago. Must say I have missed work!!! what a sado I am can't wait to see all the new things that have arrived and I want to play with the Bis shot.
Will upload some bits soon.

More pills and potions

As many of you will know I am off sick with bronchtis. I have been to the doctors today and got more antibiotics thats 3 lots and another inhaler. I have been signed off for another week so unfortunatly the Christmas Ball is now on 30th October. I have prepared a tutorial for this so if you miss it I will post it after the demo.

I love our buyer

I love our buyer at work he has got us the BIG SHOT and the BOUTIQUE at amazing prices the Big Shot is £49.99 and the Boutique £19.99. What a bargain. If that isn't enough to get you in he has also ordered a lot of promo goody bags as well unfortunatly I can't tell you whats in them as I am at home with a nasty chest, off to the doctors later and I hope it's only an infection.

All promos are in now and I am sure Tina will have got them out. So go say hi to her and grab a bargain.

Maisie put her neck out

I hope this is going to make sense. remember if you pop along to a demo I can show you how to do it.

Take an A5 and fold the front back so that the cut edge is level with the fold. Take an A6 and cut an inch off of the back.
