One Image Four Looks
I just wanted to show the value of Digital Stamps, in this day every penny counts so the more use we get from our crafty goods the better. I love that with both digital stamps and rubber stamps you can change colours and get further inspiration from the colour change.
This one is Pucker Up from Mo’s Digital Pencil and shows this colour change perfectly.
The first being brown toned hair, keeping the skin tones tanned and green eyes and vest top.
Next up is the red head, keeping a fairer complexion with hazel eyes and an aqua coloured vest top.
Next comes blonde hair, pale complexion, baby blue eyes and a wine coloured vest top
Lastly is the strawberry blonde with brown eyes warm complexion and burnt orange vest top.

Free Image Card
It started buy buying some crafty bits, you know how it is right?
I bought a pack of buttons, pretty metal ones and soon realised that the packaging was just too darn pretty to throw away.
I carefully removed the buttons then got to work adapting the packaging into a card.
Really it was like one of those buy 1 and get 1 free moments.
The patterned card and the images all came from the button box. Santoro Mirabelle from Riverside Crafts in Market Deeping.
I did use one of the buttons entwined into a silk ribbon.
Also a Fantastic Ribbons ribbon and a Mei Flower ribbon slide and pearls.
Blog Hop day tomorrow, be sure to hop back here.

Designing for Jack–T-Shirts
Hard to believe but Jack will be 5 next month and I thought it would be pretty awesome if he had his own designer wear.
I designed some T-Shirt slogans for him cut them out in Vinyl on the Silhouette Portrait and then heat pressed them onto the shirts.
This one is Oh so true.
This one is also true
and this one is Jacks favourite joke, front and back.
Front
and Back
I think he’ll be very happy with them.

A Card and a Confession.
Grandson Jack came over today and I had started to make a card last night and did a little decoupage but hadn’t done much else. So Jack helped me today to finish the card off. I got out some dies and put Jack in control of the eBosser machine which he found amazing, He put the plates and dies in the front and then ran around to the back to watch them come out, isn’t technology marvellous? we then measured cut and stuck all of the components together and made a smashing card. Decoupage is from the Hunkydory decoupage book Sports and Leisure
We used Memory Box dies a trellis and a vine flourish.
and this pretty decoupage from the book.
All of the card is from Create and Craft TV here
So onto my confession…… My healthy eating went down the pan, I started having treats and cheating, secret eating in abundance. work patterns, being away from home and having to eat from service stations too many tempting foods.
So there it is in a nutshell, My name is Jak Heath and I am a secret eater.
Now that is the first step, I confessed to the world, the next step is to put it right and I have started to do that already, 2 bike rides this weekend and healthy eating, the tester will be when I have to go to Peterborough but I’m determined to get back on track.

Quality time.
My wonderful man came with me to Peterborough this time round, we even brought our bikes, of course I was here to work so today was the first chance I got to get out.
We headed over to Ferry Meadows and I have to say this is oh so beautiful.
I loved that we got out in the fresh air and some time to relax
These are my snazzy over the top sunglasses for when I am out on the bike, they pop right over the top of my everyday glasses.
Everything is Better when we're together.
Truly it is. It's so important to take time out together.
Our day had just began but we wanted to show you this wonderful place.
Once I had done my shows at Create and Craft we decided to go out to dinner and Dean Wilson (presenter) pointed us in the right direction to a wonderful evening.
A quaint little pub in a quaint little village.
We are both quite tall and we were conscious of the low beams.
The bar was full of delightful temptations.
And dinner was just scrumptious.
Oh yes I even had a sneaky half of San Miguel
The a little stroll around the village to stretch out the dinner tummy.
More to show
More to show you from yesterday's makes at Create and Craft.
A pretty little box using the Gingham and the Basal card stock.
A lazy day card or maybe a Sunday afternoon. Image by Hunkydory.
And a bit of scrap booking.
And a bit more.
