some lovely blog candy

Check out the" My Hobby Scrapbook" blog for the great candy - only a few days left! - now gone

2nd version of LIM

Wasn't too happy with the way the gems looked on the last one so had another go with some others I found that I thought might have been too small originally but having tried them feel they fit better

new RAk card - theme pink

Creadtions by GillM RAk for May has a pink theme and as I was a bit late with mine this month and quick off the mark with my May card already done and ready - amazing for me to be so organised. I'm not sure who my partner is yet but hope whoever it is going to be likes it.

LIM challenge - off centre

Her is my entry for this week LIM challenge - I have used a one layer approach but it might be a bit too subtle a colour scheme and the pink gems look red in the photo

The recipe is:

• 1 A6 card
• 1 baby shoe stamp - free with magazine
• 1 sentiment stamp - from same magazine
• cosmic pink embossing powder
• heart gems
• scor it for embossed lines

sweet stamping challenge

This is my entry for the Sweet Stamping Easter challenge

I have used:

• DCVW easter paper, green card mat, blue oval mat and orange card for letters
• white organza ribbon
• free stamps - from craft magazine
• promarkers
• sakura gel pen
• sizzlits alphabet
• nestabilities oval and lacy ovals

I really like the hedgehog image as it reminds me of the pwenny black stamps

RAK April

I'm a member of the Designs byGillM RAK club and this is my first one - I hope the recipient likes it.We were asked to make a card representing something from the country we live in so it is.

What I got up to on hols!

As I don't have any card stash on holiday I was given a roll of wire edge ribbon and had a go at making some flower embellishments to jazz up a pair of black flip flops, an LBD and a hair clasp - nice and co-ordinated! They actually look better in real life than on the page and I will put a pic of the hair clasp when I have finished. Mind you I still have about 20 metres left so will need to think of some other ideas!

Back Home

Have been away to see my brother in London who is quite poorly and now back in hospital. Did manage a day out though as the Ally Pally show was on my 2nd weekend. Went on the Sunday and got some bits also saw Barabara Gray demo and Sue from creative expression - who was on another stand. Really enjoyed watching them as I get loads of inspiration. Mind you by the time I got home had forgotten how to start off the ribbon wreath I had watched Sue do - ST memory loss!!

Have loads to catch up on so better get started!
