Happy new year to you all This year means a new start for me, for those of you that dont know me last year was a tough one for me. But at christmas my life changed for the better. I wanted to record this on a LO. I want 2010 to be a new start..... I used the SUGAR AND SPICE CLEAR STAMPS FAT & FUNKY ALPHA to make my titles. I stamped these onto card and then hand cut them. I find these stamps so easy to use. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE a bit of bling so couldnt let this LO pass without adding some. so I combined this with my other love..blooms Hope you like x x

Hello! New year, new projects, more birthdays! This little book is for my mum, its her birthday you see. I love to make little projects like this for birthdays.Easy peasy to make, a projects that you can do in an evening. To make a simple book like this all you need to do is mount your photos on a piece of card stock slightly bigger than your photos, make the cover from chipboard, which is the same size as you mounts and cover it in patterned paper. Then you can let your creativity flow! All of this is held together with book rings. I also added jouro spots and blocks which is held in with the book rings. I couldn't resist adding a little something to the photos, Sugar and Spice - Cute as a button stamps which needs to be stamped using Staz On ink which allowes you to stamp on non porous surfaces. Ta da! Loves and Bugs Nina x

I love to make my own embellishments to use on both my cards and my scrapbook pages, whilst there are lots of beautiful embellishments on the market out there, I think there is always something extra special about creating your own embellishments - they are unique, you can adapt / match them to your project (and you can recreate as many as you want at a fraction of the cost!!)  For today's project I chose to use three of the stamps from the Sugar and Spice 'love and laughter' set to make a handmade flower embellishment which I've used on this birthday card: The Love and Laughter set is one of my favourite sugar and spice sets - to make my flower I've used both the shadow flower stamp and the overlying petal stamp.  I stamped the shadow shape onto red patterned card using crimson versafine ink, then stamped the petal shape twice onto matching pink paper. I cut around the shadow shape and the first petal shape.   For the ...

not when you're trying to get into work anyway. I may make it in for a couple of hours today, but with more snow forcast for this afternoon it seems unlikely. Although with all the supplies and food in the shop it wouldn't be a bad place to get snowed into . LOL !!! If you're off work take this opportunity to get some great winter wonderland shots and then SCRAP them. After all what else is there to do whatever you do have fun and take care xxxx

Well a Happy New year to you all, I feel it's going to be a good one. An appolagy for posting a day late but yesterday seemed to run away with me after a late night and a very long lay in....................but I'm sure I wasn't the only one. My first project of the year. The layout was created by using templates. I found them in my cupboard just before christmas-it still amazes me how I collect crafting accessories and seem to lose them in a cupboard and forget I even have them! The title was stitched using silver thread after the paper was pierced using a stitching alphabet template. I also used a doodling template for the scrolls and then added some bling for dimension. And finally the year was stamped on with some number stamps from sugar and spice called Happy Birthday With a Cherry on the Top . Again a very happy new year to you all and Happy Crafting P x

Hello to all For my project this time I have made a LO on canvas. I wanted to make a handmade gift for my sister I started with a plain canvas which I sprayed with Glimmer mist. I wanted the photo to be the main focus of the LO so I wanted to keep the papers/card simple. I layered Pink papers and cards and I used a page of an acrylic book which I coloured using alcohol inks. I used blooms and buttons as embellishments. I also stamped onto the canvas using Stazon ink in pink to match the theme of the LO I used the scrolls from the WEDDING INVITES stamps and I used the SCRIBBLE SENTIMENTS wording to stamp along the bottom of the canvas. I hope you like x x
