Good morning and its silly o'clock again. I was expecting to see frost everywhere but not today. Its 6 degrees outside which is a big difference compared to yesterday morning.I have a hectic day ahead of me so an early start wont hurt, although I expect I shall be flagging by tonight.

I have held a couple of workshops over the last week and I have a few photographs to show you. I totally forgot to get my camera out for the first workshop, sorry ladies.

Two cards were made and as it's coming up to Christmas I gave everyone the choice of either making a Christmas card, feminine or masculine card. Here are photos of the first set.





And here are some pictures taken of some of the ladies on the second workshop with their cards




Thanks for having a read (or a look at the pictures, which is what most of us do). Please feel free to leave comments as I love to go through them to see what you think.

Sunday, the day of rest

yeah right. Its silly o'clock and I got up cause the sun was shining through the windows, just hope that it lasts.

Thought I would show you this card, envelope and bag I made for a friends birthday. I saw a card very similar on my blog travels and it just stayed in my mind. I just had to case it. I am so sorry but I cant remember whos blog it was on but a big thank you to the person who actually came up with it.

Got a few chores to do this morning then its an afternoon of crafting. Hope everyone has a great day, whatever you are up to and thanks for stopping by to have a read.

UPDATED - It was Sunday when I posted this, honest. Bags are from Stampin Up and cost £1.95 for 3.

Blooming with Beauty, again

I do hope you are not getting fed up with seeing cards that I have made using this stamp. Apologies if you are.

These two cards are just waiting for me to put the sentiments on. I tend to make quite a few cards without sentiments so that on special occassions (or birthdays that I have forgotten) I can just add on whatever is appropriate.

Some more Blooming with Beauty

This card has been made using three of the 5 stamps from the set as well as the scalloped circle punch and the 1 3/4 inch punch.

I stamped the flowers and the pot onto some extra cardstock and cut it out, so that I could decoupage it onto the front of the card.

When the card is closed, the bee can be seen.

A week of Blooming with Beauty

I am now starting to get myself sorted after Christmas. I am still struggling with the getting up early for work. I have made it in to the office a few minutes early each day so I guess another week will sort me out.



I have been playing with the Blooming with Beauty set, page 40 of the SU catalogue. I have fallen in love with it. You get 5 stamps in the set and at the price of £22.95 plus p+p I think it is a bargin. I thought I would show you, over the next few days, some of the cards that I have made.


Starting with a few black and white ones. I have used SU black gingham ribbon on these.

The price of the ribbon is £5.25 plus p+p for approx 13.7m. Now that is a lot of ribbon. If you would like just one or two metres instead, please let me know and I will sort something out for you.






A splash of colour on this one, with a matching envelope. I have also used Certainly Celery at £3.95 plus p+p for approx 13.7 m. I have quite a few more cards to show you but, if you would like more information about anything on my blog, please get in touch tracey.rossos2@hotmail.com
