Sneak Peek Day 4 - Stamp Release Party

For my blogaversary giveaway click here.

I hope you are enjoying the sneak peeks so far. Today we are using Tiny Tags.
I just love this set and have used it constantly since it arrived!

I used an Adam Prescott stamp and coloured with my promarkers.

A touch of glossy accents for the mixing bowl.

The tag,stitching and sentiment is all from  the Tiny Tags set.

And of course I had to use TBBM2 (can you tell it's my favourite?).

This cracker turned out so nicely and I love the surprise of pulling a cracker,you never know what treasure you will find! Thought this sentiment served it well.

Hi Friends, it's Kimberly's stamp release party from  over at My Craft Spot.

I have loved playing with all the new sets and am so pleased to be able to share what I've been making. Each time I've made something I automatically wanted to share to my blog and then remembered I couldn't! I really have gone to these for all my projects lately..they're just fab!

Today we are  using the Happy Easter stamp set which will be available to order from today as Easter is so  close upon us. It also has great messages for Mother's Day. Mother's Day was last week in the UK and I used this set for all my cards and gifts.

Welcome Vase

For my blogaversary giveaway click here.

Hi,hope you had a great weekend. The weather has just been sensational,so managed to get quite a bit of gardening done. Still lots more to do though! I just love when we get to eat alfresco (without layers of jumpers!!).

Over at BBTB2 the challenge this week was to use the cricut cut 'welcome' in your project.
I made a project for My Craft Spot new stamp release this week using the new TBBM2 cart..... I know,still my latest cart addiction I'm afraid!! lol. Anyway,you'll get to see that on Saturday's blog hop,but at one stage the box reopened and the shape it produced gave me this idea for a vase......

Recipe
TBBM2 - daisy fold box cut at 6.75"
Flower Shoppe - leaves at 2"
Straight From the Nest - Welcome cut at 1",poppies at 2.5"
Heirloom Gold perfect pearls for the poppies
Adirondack paint dabber in Willow for stems
Vanilla crinkle ribbon

I made this with the idea of giving as a welcome gift to a new neighbour. I really like how it turned out,especially the vase part. I was going to put a few tulips in a plastic bag of water inside and decided that I ought to make paper flowers instead. Thought the red was striking until my son asked me why I had put our remembrance day poppies in my vase and it wasn't November?!

Pleased he thought the poppies were so good and explained they were actually a summer flower and then decided I should have made tulips...oh well... they look lovely in my conservatory!!

Jill at Jaihart has a linky party I'm linking this up to. There's still time to link.

Don't forget the stamp release party this week over at My Craft Spot.

The stamps are just fabulous and Kimberly is offering a prize each day.

Thanks for calling by.

Tea Anyone?

For my blogaversary giveaway click here.

Happy Thursday! Is it me or is this week flying?

I have been playing with my TBBM2 again! Surprise,surprise I hear you say!

Last week I made one of these for my friend but didn't take any piccies.

I'm not a tea drinker (I know,not very British of me is it?) but I do love this teabag holder.

Now PG Tips are pyramid teabags and just not designed for this holder.

Luckily for me, my friend Ted donated a wrapped teabag for my project!

Not just any teabag but a special Harrod's one!

Hi....okay not strictly me but my blog is 1 years old today! I would just like to welcome all my followers new and old and thank you for your kind comments and visits. I do appreciate each and everyone of you.

I know in previous posts I have told you how nervous I was of blogging and I won't bore you with those details again,but if you asked me in the beginning if I would still be here 1 year later,I would  have thought not.

My post is a bit wordy,but bear with me as I do have a project and candy to share.

I LOVE 3d! So the new TBBM2 is already a confirmed favourite and the scoring tool makes it all so easy. I made a playing card box and although for it to be lucky it should be a four leaf clover and not a shamrock.. I exercised creative licensce..lol!!

I have 2 lots of candy to giveaway today and for 2 very different reasons.

I am the least technological person you will probably encounter and initially started my blog to show some of my designs for classes I was about to run.

When I got really brave I started entering challenges, and the encouragement I received from the DT of those challenges really helped my confidence. We all wonder at times if certain things we make are worth sharing?! TreeFrog you made my day!

I am lucky enough to be on an amazing Design Team at My Craft Spot and have been on 2 other wonderful DT's at Celebrate the Occasion and Cindy's Scraptastic Designs.

My first blog candy is open to everyone,you don't have to be a follower of my blog I just want to offer  a little something  to someone who takes the time to leave me a comment on this post!  Certain DT members from certain challenge sites always take the time to comment and I really appreciate that too.                   

 Card candi is attached with  3d foam and you can stamp on it  too. Let me know if you prefer kraft or iced gems(pastel). A random winner will be announced Saturday and you will have a week to claim your prize.

My next blog candy is especially for one of my lovely followers.

Trendy Twine Chocolate Duo from My Craft Spot.

For a chance to win just leave me a comment on this post,tell me you are a follower and you have until midnight Friday GMT to enter.

I will announce the winner Saturday and you will have a week to claim your prize.

Thanks for all your support.

BBTB2 - Monogram

For my TBBM2 Blogaversary Giveaway click Here

Hi,the start of another working week! Weekends go way too fast...lol.

Today I have a card that I made for the challenge over at BBTB2 which was to use a monogram from any cartridge.

I have a friend whose birthday is later this month and I was a little flumaxed as to what to make for her.

When I saw this challenge it all made sense! My friend, Helen,was always called 'H' at school.(Yes I can just about remember that far back!!!) So such a great idea for her card.
