Pinks and Browns

You know when you have a colour layout in your head but you never can quite find the shade you are looking for? well this happened to me months ago so I laid the image to one side and every now and again i would pick it up and try to match it again and end up laying it right back down and using another image.

I picked up a paper pack at Harrogate on the The Hobby House stand and I knew instantly that it would be perfect for this image.

I used pearls from Mei Flower to accent the card, their pearls are second to none and the range is amazing as well as their prices. the flowers are made from the brown paper and the larger one with my Tonic Studios pinking shears.

 

I used one of the spellbinders frame dies to cut out the image and finished with a pretty bow.

Wonderful Day–Fixer Boy

We (Mam and I) had a wonderful day at Harrogate at the Papercraft Extravaganza, we set out around 10am and got there around 11.30, a little browse around then had a sandwich and a cup of tea, saw some welcome faces and old friends, big shout out to Jacqui Dennis love that girl got a cuddle and a long awaited chat.

We were greeted at the door with someone calling my mam famous for being on my blog yesterday, that made her day so thank you to the kind lady who recognised us.

I made a card when I got home using Fixer Boy from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used a pre shaped card from Craftwork Cards and added some pearls from Mei Flower as you can see I got loads while I was there but give them a visit as they had a fabulous selection to choose from.

Jack with my Mam

I told you all the other day about Jack loving to visit my Mam so that he can chase Jess the cat from one room to the next trying to chat with her and it’s hilarious, on our last visit he was saying to her “hello gorgeous” totally cracked me up.

But there is another reason he loves to visit and here it is.

Jack with Great Gran

As you can see it is all pretty special at Great Grans so many new adventures to be found.

Tomorrow I’m going to spend the day with my Mam, I’m taking her to GNPE at Harrogate which she will love as she loves her crafting and then we will come back to mine where that wonderful man of mine is making our Sunday Dinner.

Something for the Weekend–Blog Candy

I wanted to spoil all my followers but I just don’t have the pennies to do that so instead I have put together some blog candy from some of my favourite companies. I appreciate each and every one of you that pop by to say hello as well as those that just pop their head in for a peek, you are like my extended family and many of you I feel that I know so well after commenting for so long.

I put together things that would add the little extra to your card making, ribbon flowers, gems, bows & buttons etc.

I think this will keep you going all year, there’s tons.

I added 3 close up shots

As you can see it’s amazing but it’s not enough so………..

I figured you needed something to add all of the embellishment too.

So I will also pop in the CD Rom from La Pashe The big One

How do you enter? well I’d love everyone to be a follower but I can’t force you to do that as most people only follow while the candy is available, sad but true and to be honest that just annoys me so all I’m asking is that you tell your friends about it, link it to blogs if you have one or post it on facebook if you use that.

Then link your name in the Inlinkz button below, you do not need a URL to do this, just leave it blank if you haven’t got one.
