Cards

I have had a spell of making a few cards and have remembered to take pictures of just 3 before sending them off!!! The first used the stamp and card materials from Little CLaire designs a fab site who sell their own rubber stamps - these stamps and materials come from their monthly stamp set - perfect for my mums 70th birthday this week as she collects owl ornaments etc!

This card was made using a sizzix die cut cross and lots of left overs in my scrap box - I dont normally make Easter cards but really enjoyed making them and sending them for Church friends this year

James and I were baptised in March along with 5 other friends and so I made everyone I was being baptised with a card each. The cross is a stampin up stamp embossed in white and using lots of leftover card and paper from my scrap box

Something from almost nothing

2 Los I made this week using prompts 1 and 3 from Shimelles 'something from almost nothing' class

This LO was using prompt 3 and a few ribbons

And this LO was using prompt one and lots of brads!!

Both LOs were made using whole sheets of card stock and leftovers of papers from other projects and found in my scraps box!

Scrapaholix Retreat Class LOs - my LOs

A class I went to led by Mandy - making the ribbon flowers as well as the LO. The photo is of Mathew and his girlfriend Amy on their first valentines together in 2009

A class again led by Mandy - lots of gutting and cutting out swirls but lots of fun! The photo is of my great grand parents arriving at the church for my wedding.

This class was led by Carolyn - I added the gems on after they werent in the class kit! lol. This is another photo from my wedding and is of great grand parents and grandparents with James and me.

Another Mandy Class with more papers suitable for my wedding photos - the photo is of my sister in law who was my chief bridesmaid. The large cream flower was hand made from cream and blue cardstock



My favourite class of the weekend had to be this one - my favourite papers at the moment from BoBunny and making more flowers by hand! Again the papers were just right for another wedding photo!

More LOs from the scrapaholix retreat crop room

Another LO from our weekend away in Brighton to celebrate James's 50th birthday - i hand made the flowers from some old cardstock.

Yet another LO for my wedding album - the swirls of pearls were hand done pearl by pearl lol

I loved these BoBunny papers from my Sarahscards monthly kit and so did another LO for my wedding album


The LO of my boys was a scraplift from a class I did during the scrapaholix retreat led by Carolyn (see above) but putting my slant on it! lol
