More Craft Storage!

Yeah! Phil has made some more Storage Units, but for my Scrapbook Card and Papers this time. It is great to be able to see my papers, rather than rake through boxes. So much easier. I'm delighted with these units. He made quite a few, so I'm filling them up fast before my crafting friends try to slip them into their craft trollies when they're round visiting.

 Ink pad storage next?...(a girl can dream... LOL!). I've a long way to go until my room is totally organised, but it's certainly a good start.

Here's some pictures of the 12 x 12 Storage Units with some current and discontinued Stampin' Up!  Designer Series Paper and some discontinued as well (The first picture is of a unit not fully finished, but I just couldn't wait to try it out first).



still needing sanding, but I couldn't wait to see how my papers fit LOL!



Ready to go - YEAH!

Thinking of you

My friend's Dad suffered a stroke a few weeks ago, so I made this card quickly to send to Cath and let her know we were thinking and praying for her Dad and of course, just to let her know we care about her.

The FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set called Patterned Occasions was perfect for this card sending a 'whole latte love' (FREE with an order of £45 or over) and finished off with the Petite Pairs 'sending a kiss' and of course finished off with the Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and some Rhinestone basic jewels..

Two by Two Birthday

I love this easy card that I made for my neice and nephew's 2nd  Birthdays. The single Two by Two stamp by Stampin' Up! is perfect for this card and coloured in using Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen for shading..

Have a good day and

Double Side-step 70th Birthday, Shabby Chic!

 I was asked to make this for my sister-in-law's Mum. As the heading says, it's a Double side-step card using a few pieces from the gorgeous Artisan Embellishment Kit on page 10 in the Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Catalogue 2013

The roses were made by gluing small hearts using the Small Heart Punch for the small roses and the heart die from Hearts a Flutter dies. The pretty pretty bow is made using the Two Tone Ribbon 1 1/4" in the new Spring Catalogue. I sprayed on some Gold Glow Smooch Spritz for a perfect finish.

Keep on Crafting,

Love always...

Yeah! I'm back online after two weeks of no Internet (arghhhh). That's the second month in a row this has happened!
Here's a quick Gate-Fold Valentine Card I made for my husband Phil.using the stunning Stampin' Up! More Amore Speciality Designer Series Papers.and Artisan Embellishments Kit from the Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Catalogue. It would also make a good Wedding Anniversary Card too.

Keep Crafting!,
