8x8 Jubilee themed layout, Kyle's trip to London!

Pinch punch first day of the month! NO RETURNS! 


Good morning, June already, where oh where has this year gone!


Just a quick one today, when I was making the Jubilee class there is a lady who comes and loves scrapbooking so I thought I would make a sample 8x8 layout to give her some ideas. 

This was taken last October when we took my nephew to London for the day, as you can see he was very excited to see the underground sign. Unfortunately the central line was closed and the tube network was manic so we had to take a black cab instead, I think he enjoyed that just as much.....

Right I am off as I have got a MANIC weekend, full of crafting, parties and cupcakes! I hope that you have a lovely extended weekend and will pop back soon and do a show and tell!

Final Jubilee card JUBILEE CUPCAKES!

Good morning, good morning, how the devil are you?, good morning, good morning to you! (My mum used to sing that to be every morning when I lived at home) 


Here is the last card that I made for the Jubilee class, a jubilee cupcake shop!

I love how this has come out, this stamp set  and punch is my absolute favorite and have really enjoyed playing with it. I have again used the bright papers and some red, white and blue card.


I will pop back tomorrow with a very simple 8x8 layout using in a jubilee theme!


See you then!

KEEP CALM Jubilee Class Card

Morning bloggers, I am so sorry for my lack of posts, life has taken over for a while but I am back on track now so hopefully no big gaps in blogging for a while!


Here is another of the cards that I made for my Jubilee class, there have been lots of versions of the "Keep Calm" cards in blog land and here is my take on them:

I have again used the brights paper pack with the "Just perfect" alphabet and crown from artistic etchings. I am pleased with how it has come out but it did take hours to line up each letter!!!! I won't be making many more that's for sure!


Right I am off, thank you for coming back and reading my waffle!


See you soon xxx

"Tea for two" Jubilee Class Card

Morning everyone! WOWSER what a scorcher! It was so hot last night that Mr Wonka decided to have the air con on in the bedroom, I must have been the only person in the country frozen under the duvet with jim jams and bed socks! I think he may have to tinker with the settings! 

Today I am showing you one of the jubilee class cards that I made at the weekend. 


I am really pleased with this one, I have used the "Tea Shoppe" stamp set and created a flag using the bright designer series paper stack. I have also used the new frame dies, which I HAVE to have, must pop an order in! (let me know if you need anything I'll happily add it on to my order)


I am off to sit in the garden and try and add some colour to my pasty complexion! 


See you tommorrow with a cupcake inspired jubilee card! xxx

Craft Day goodies!

Morning bloggers, hope you are all well this lovely sunny morning. Looks like the sun will have his hat on for a few days, and I intend to make the most of it!


Just a quickie from me today, I just wanted to show you the craft day goodies, every event Natalie & I do we like to provide a screw top drink to avoid spillage and a bag of sweeties, here is what they had this time:

They were full of fudge, toffee and chocolate eclairs! YUM YUM I do like the table looking pretty. That's not all though, Nat & I like you to have a day full of prezzies this time they also all received a little plastic crate, a roll of ribbon,

a whole box of bright buttons,

 and a full pack of 12x12 brights DSP! 

That's over £30 of product before the three class kits, make and take, unlimited tea, coffee & soft drinks, cake biscuits and lunch! FAB value for money and a day of delicious goodies, good friends and crafting too! 


I know you're kicking yourself! Don't worry I'll let you know when the next one is!!!! 


I'll be back tomorrow with the first of my cards that I made in my Jubilee class!

Craft day make and take, Twitterpated handbag.

Monday Monday da da da da da da (Sung in my best Mamas & Papas voice) I hope that you all had a good weekend filled with fun, laughter & family! I know I did.


This is my first show and tell from our craft day, this is the make and take that we made.

It is a handbag gift bag made from a brown paper bag and decorated with "Twitterpated" paper and grey card. I have used the new labels framelits and the fun flowers die for the clasp and decoration. This would make a fabulous gift bag with a matching card. The handle was made with some ruffled ribbon, it was a bit floppy so you can't really see it in this pic.


I will pop back tomorrow and show you the little goodies that we made for everyone! 


See you soon xxx
