Pergamano Pictures

I thought it would be nice to show you what got me back into craft after a break away from it when I was bringing up our children.

I never stopped the love of craft, but I had a family to rear and devoted my time to them, my youngest was a very demanding child who tended not to sleep, so, any spare time I had I would try to catch up on my sleep.

Then one day my Mam showed me a Pergamano card that someone had made for her and as quick as a flash I found myself saying "I could do that" it just blurted right out.

The next day my Mam went out and bought me some tools I found a picture in a magazine on childbirth which I loved and set to that night and so the picture below was born and once again I was back in the swing on things with crafting.

Another one but this time a Flapper Lady

Fame at last - lol!

Ok as promised an update on my special news.

On Monday I will be traveling to Peterborough for a screen shoot with Create and Craft, and, all going well I will be on a live TV show at 2pm on Tuesday demonstrating the La Pashe decoupage (Remember When...)

So the only way I won't be on is if I clam up in front of the Camera's on Monday.

Oh Gosh...

I've some really exciting news that I am dying to tell you all about, I'm going to be a very busy bee over the next few days and hopefully I'll be able to let you know what is happening, All I can say is the big event will be early next week.

I am hoping that you will enjoy sharing my news and support me along the way.

Floral Card - Beautiful Blooms

I stamped directly onto the white card using the leaf stamp from PTI Beautiful blooms and outlined some of the leaves with Diamond Stickles. Using the Nestabilies Rectangles I cut out the scalloped and the classic rectangles for matting the main image. I then stamped the leaf from the same set but masked off the top leaves and then stamped the flower head, again I outlined the leaves and flower head with stickles glitter glue. I finished by wrapping the top notch twill ribbon around the top of the card and knotting.

Ingrediants -: Card stock.Ribbon, ink and Stamps from Papertrey Ink

Cuttlebug Card - Lace Tree

Faster than the speed of light, I blinked and it was finished.

I used the Christmas Cuttlebug A2 folder, Lace Tree embossed onto white card then added stickles Diamond to the tree. matted on red card stock then added to an A5 white card I ties a red ribbon around the card by making a slit cut in the crease and threading the ribbon though.

Finished by stamping A Merry Christmas underneath the ribbon in a dew drop Brilliance Rocket Red ink pad .
