One of my posts for the fabbi Jones Design Team this month is all about Christmas ....loves me a bit of crimbo :) :) I decided to make a mini album, ready to put this years snap shots in and what better to use than the gorgeous Graphic 45 T'was the Night Before Christmas collection. To start I just put together some sheets of corrugated card and cut them into 6" x 6" squares and one I cut at 4" x 6". Knowing that I wanted to tear some of the papers I painted around the edge of the corrugated card, after tearing a few corners from it. Next it's all about, adding the papers, tearing and rolling as you go then adding chipboard elements along with Cardstock die cuts. So go grab your corrugated card and Graphic 45 papers and......create :) :) Hugs Marion xxx   Another great post bought to you by Sugar and Spice Crafts

There's nothing like making a gift for someone...BUT.... it's quite hard when you don't know the person !!! I wanted to say THANK YOU to someone who helped me out recently, and I found out he was expecting a baby, so thought...'I know, I do a mini album'....loves me a mini album. Not knowing what the sex will be, what better paper to use than the gorgeous Webster's Pages Hello World . I added a bit of dimension using the fabbi Paper Artsy Grunge Paste , any excuse LOL !!! I included buttons, banners, twine and glitter ...oh and not forgetting ribbon, of course !!! And this was the result... It's now been lovingly wrapped in tissue and posted...hope they like it :) :) Hugs Marion xx   Another great post bought to you by Sugar and Spice Crafts

After watching a fabbi video from Heidi Swapp, I just had to have a little play.... So I got me some high quality watercolour paper, die cut it using my Project Life Die and then added another little bit of die cutting, using the fabbi Text die from this lot . Can't decide which one's my favourite, I love them all.... Then I simply got a selection of gorgeous Heidi Swapp Color Shine bottles, gave them a little stroke then spritzed them on the card, I also spritzed the flowers, to bring the colour in.   As I had used the text die 'happy' I stamped 'birthday' underneath from this little set

There's no denying it, my life is mega busy at the mo, I only get one day off a week...c'mon let's hear it...arhhhhhh :) :)  Since getting this one day off, I've been spending it catching up with friends and just, well, enjoying myself :) :)  This Monday was no exception, to celebrate the lovely Suzanne's birthday we took a trip to London, had a bit of pampering and shopping in the wonderful Jo Malone's I thoroughly recommend it !!!  We had a lovely lunch at the Royal Exchange and then walked, yes walked, we really needed to burn lunch off, to the Tower of London.........and WOW what a sight. The Sea of Poppies (don't know if that's it's correct title, but that what I've called it) was a STUNNING sight to see.. Not the best pic here, but if you look closely you can see it coming out of the wall above !! Here they meander around the Tower And this is the other side and they've mapped out further round ready for more ...

I've just recently created a project exclusively for The Paper Crafters Library out in Canada, using the fabbi WOW Embossing Powders. If you'd like a step by step tutorial, just click HERE Enjoy :) :) Hugs Marion xxx - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
