Here's Looking at you Kid!

You may remember me asking for Captions for the photo of Jack with his hat on, well there was a reason for this as you will see from the image below, I decided it was high time I did a scrapbook page to add to the album, I used a product called Safmat by Letraset for all of the wording, you simply type what you want on the computer ie word or editing program then you print it out onto the Safmat and then cut it out, remove the backing paper and you have created your own rub on, brilliant
The possibilities of Safmat are endless, from scrap booking to card making.

Below is an image of the new packaging for Safmat click on the image to buy it, it's amazing stuff.


Tomorrow I will show you a card I made using the left over piece on the Safmat sheet.

Rico Design - Can Can Scarf

Well it isn't very often that I post an image of myself but I was so proud that I made a frilly scarf I just had to show you all.
My friend Lorraine Robinson is totally to blame for setting me off scarf making, when Lorraine said how easy it was I just had to find out for myself .


So no card today but hey just look at my fabulous Scarf, I have started another one too, in burnt orange shades, If you want to know how easy they are to make hop over to Lorraine's blog as she has a tutorial on there.

Pictures from the Pins and Needles show

As I told you earlier we are at the Metro Arena with the Pins and needles Craft Show and there is so much to see there, not only paper crafts but all different types of crafts that is sure to inspire you.

Now I'm back there on Saturday but don't worry if you need a demo tomorrow I've been training up the guys to stand in for me, below is a picture of Craig showing his stuff to the passing ladies ha ha!


Ooh I love this display that I found whilst browsing.



This was another clever sew'n'sew that I found at the show.







I met a very talented lady named Joan Cutts, her work is amazing, I haven't a website for her but if you want something very special her prices are very reasonable, you can contact Joan at joancutts@aol.com



Now how about finishing off the experience with a bit of indulgence

My Scrapbook - A Day for Daisies

Such a lovely image this one, my two girls when they were small went to stay with friends of ours for a weeks holiday and they kept a scrapbook whilst they were there, year later and they still loved looking through it.

My Scrapbook by A Day for Daisies and coloured with Copic Markers.

That scrapbook is nearly as big as she is lol!

I used the large script stamp by Stampin Up for the background some Marianne dies for the flourishes and some circle punches to make the easy blossoms and tucked a pearl inside each one.

Mothering Sunday / Easter Card

I was thinking that although this isn't the typical Mothering Sunday card if you were to add the caption " Even though we've flown the nest you continue to feed us with love" and it would be perfect.

Equally it would work as an Easter card.

We're Hungry is one of the Newly released Digital Stamps by Just Inklined.

Coloured with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils stampin up designer papers, embossing folders by Sizzix and Cuttlebug and an Egg Nestabilities by Spellbinders.

Flower Girl - Mo Manning

Happy Sunday Everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. The sun is splitting the trees here where I am so I'm off to make the most of it.

Before I do I wanted to share a new card with you.


Little Flower Girl, coloured with Copic Markers and made into an Easel card, the cuttlebug was used to emboss the pink card and edged using a Martha Stewar deep edger punch, the duck egg under paper was from my stash, I think it was from Papermania, some pearls a ribbon some flower petals and a bit of love to bring it all together.


A close up shot of the little Flower Girl by Mo Manning, such a little sweetie.


The Nestabilities Labels make a perfect writing place on the inside of the easel card.
