Stand and Deliver Sneak Preview

I’m still sharing sneak peeks with you all from the amazing new 3D template CD

CD CASE MOCK UP

This next template had me singing Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant all through making it.

Perfect for little boys, the Castle (fort) pointed roof is a gift box and comes out of the main castle construction and can be filled with sweet treats or even a little toy. The carriage can also be filled with something special.

Of course this can also be a Fairy-tale Castle and Carriage for the girls or maybe a wedding gift.

Just Inklined to Blog Hop–Favourite Colour Combo

Today is blog hop day and our super talented Design Team have some amazing projects to show you.

To make the hop more fun, there are 2 hidden spot prizes along the way, chosen from those that leave comments on the blogs.

This months theme is "Christmas" hosted by Joyce  which is where the blog hop starts.

You should have landed on my blog from Tangii and its her Birthday.

I’ve used Poinsettia Corner Ribbon for my card and you can buy it from Just Inklined

Teals and White is my favourite combo.

I used the Silhouette Portrait machine to create a pine branch matt for my image, I used Graph’ It Markers to colour my image which I had printed out twice and Pan Pastels for the edging both available at Polka Doodles so that I could add and extra layer to the Poinsettia flower.

Backing papers are from Stampin Up, Pearls and ribbon slide from Mei Flower

I finished with a little glitter glue to make it all pop.

Next up on the hop is Lori who always amazes me with her beautiful creations.

Jack's first Handmade Card

We had Jack visit us today, he decided to stay with us for the day and after all of our jobs were done (shopping, dinner prepared, shopping put away) all of which he helped with, he decided that he would like to colour an image and make a card.
At the ripe age of 4 years old he sat at the desk and used my Flex Markers and Clam Diggers. Image from Mo's Digital Pencil and started to colour.
Once finished he wanted to make a card for his Mam, this is all Jack's own design, I only helped with the cutting out and I tied the bow for him.
I was amazed at how careful he was and how few times he went out of the lines.
Isn't it brilliant?
Here is the concentration levels

All Cakes–No Calories

Healthy options when it comes to cakes it probably one of the hardest things to find, we all have that urge to grab a cake as a put me off till dinner time when out and about and cafe’s just seam to have the biggest and best to tempt that sweet toothed devil inside of us.

I can honestly say there is very few cakes that I don’t like.

I decided to do a little research to find the best choices for me to stay on the healthy eating track.

I browsed the internet for hours on end and the choices seamed to be make your own for anything decent until I found these beauties.

I have to stop this now because I know your mouths will be watering with the delight of these and they are fake cakes, aren’t they amazing?

They are all made from clay, full sized Tea Room cakes that would fool anyone.

I am going to look at them and drool, I bought them as props, I think the person that made these is pretty amazing, I may even have a go at doing some when I get some time.
