What a Whopper

I simply love this, have you ever seen such a big one before?

I’ve seen ones half this size but this one is humongous. It is a Haggis of course, I friend of my husbands was in Bonny Scotland visiting his Mother and brought it back for us.

I like to slice it up, freeze it in portions and have if fried yum yum yum!

Crafty Ragamuffin

Another image that has been coloured for some time just awaiting some inspiration and then I found the background from HOTP just by chance by flicking through one of their background paper pads.

This is from the Ragamuffin Range from Saturated Canary Digis

I added a prima blossom some haberdashery trim pearls from Mei Flower, buttons and ribbons.

I added some ink to the pre embossed blossoms on the card edge to prettify them.

I hope where ever you are that your weather is being much kinder than what it is in the North East of the UK, it’s blowing a Hooley here we've had snow sleet electricity cut and even a bit of sun this morning, crazy weather.

Spellbinders Die Storage

I don’t know about you but my dies and not just the spellbinders ones end up rattling around in a draw and I have to rummage through them to find the one I want, I have some of the smaller ones in an album but the larger ones and the border dies left me with a storage problem.

I was contacted by a company which asked if there product was something that I’d like to take a look at, so i popped over to check them out and soon realised that they could have the answer to the die storage problem.

So I was thrilled when I realised that it worked.

I know it looks like a black A4 a piece of black card but it is in fact an A4 sheet magnet, as you can see you can fit loads on it and better still it has enough pull power to keep them in one place, I even stood the sheet up to make sure they wouldn’t fall of, I then give them the shake test and they still held fast, the reverse side of mine is red but they come in a few different colours so they could be colour co-ordinated to the dies.

The Company is called First4Magnets and it does just stop at sheet Magnets, take a look at the size of these ones in their craft magnets and because they also do self adhesive ones they would be fabulous for the like of handbag card closures.

I was so blown away with the size of some of them that I added a 5 pence coin next to them to show you.

I know that Chris (long suffering husband) has his eye on some of them for his model making.

So on to the pleats, I used a Martha Stewart border punch on some red card and scored lines on my ScorPal and carfully pleated and added it behind my image. I used Copic markers and Prisma pencils to colour the Poppy Cluster.

I used some prima resin poppies and a Cheery Lynn flourish die.

I also used some gorgeous pre-pleated ribbon from Ribbon Carousel behind the image.
