First of the Month

Not sure why the date is wrong.

I'm looking forward to seeing the spring flowers blooming in the sunshine today. I love the daffodils in the borders of the garden they really make me smile. It's St Davids day today and it's also my birthday. I still remember going to school when I was little and recieving the bumps from my friends and anybody else who cared to join in. H&S wouldn't allow that to happen in the playground nowadays.
I really enjoyed making this card, I love the new word stamps Artistic Expressions from Chocolate Baroque and I played with my Grand Calibur that I recieved for Christmas.

I used Stormy Sky for the flourish and distressing the edges. Versafine Onyx Black for the wording and clear embossing powder. I combined the word stamps to make the phrase.

I hope everyone is having a good day

A Patriotic Cot Quilt

At the moment everything is gearing up for the Olympics and the Queens Jubilee. I feel proud to be British and hope that with all the worries in the world we can all have some happy times this year.
I was asked to make a cot quilt for a friend of a friend that is due in a couple of weeks time. The couple don't know the sex of the baby so I didn't have a brief for the colour. I didn't want the quilt to be overly fussy so that it would fit with the parents choice of Nursery colours.
I wanted to make it personal to them and the Daddy of the new baby is representing Great Britain at the Olympics this year so I chose to make one of the panels a Union Jack Flag.






Unfortunately I didn't take the best photo as I was dashing out of the door to give it to my friend when I remembered.
The quilt has been given to the couple and they are over the moon with it, phoning people to tell them. I love what I do for the reason to make people smile.

Brayering Workshop

Yesterday I attended a workshop for brayering and our teacher was the talented Lesley Wharton. I had done a workshop about 6 years ago but have never really been confident. I have always had the lines, uneven blocks of colour like everyone gets. The nuggets of wisdom I came away with were, work quickly and in one direction not pressing down to hard. It was lovely to see Janet and £1.70 Lilian, we did giggle alot.

We all came away with one project to be made into a card at home.



I played until late last night and made them into cards this morning. All of these are made using Distress Inks.









I used stamps from Chocolate Baroque for all of these pieces, they just work so well mixing and matching together.

Thanks for stopping by

Red Rose Tree

Just a quickie from me today. This is one of the Valentine cards I made for my Hubby. I say one of them because I got carried away with myself and made four.
I hope this has given you another suggestion for colouring the Rose Tree from Chocolate Baroque.

Thanks for taking a look
