My small haul video

Hi everyone thanks for stopping by.

I have ventured out and made a video on a small haul I received from

CraftStash.co.uk

Please if you have a spare moment go have a wee look and tell me what you think.  The camera that I used is an inexpensive webcam and the quality might not be up to scratch, but I think it will do at the moment just to see how things go.

I am trying to get used to the sound of my own voice and thinking to myself do I really speak like that, lol, as they say the camera never lies.

Once again thank you for dropping by and please feel free to follow my blog and tell your friends to call by and say hello.

Smile and be happy

Hi everyone thanks for stopping by.

Oh its been a while since I have put a post up here but I'm back.  My aim now Im back is to get caught up on my scrapbooking, so you may see a few pages appear as well as cards.  I love watching videos on You tube and I have a few of my own up from a while back but I never had the courage to do actual projects from scratch.  One because I not sure how to edit and two coming to terms with the sound of my own voice, lol.  I would also like to add another page on my blog to be able to sell my handmade items and some craft items as well, to hopefully reimburse my crafty spending and to give a few pounds to a couple of charities that are close to my heart.  

A list of items I have used

Card stock from my stash

Blossom dies from Tattered Lace

Card Candy from Craftwork cards

Dovecraft Glitter glue

Stamp set I got free pack from a magazine - from the heart sentiment stamps

flat backed pearls from my stash.

Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue

the image I have used is from Lace Sunshine Stamps

I apologise for not giving exact details on what I have used but I have promised my hubby that I would use some of my stash up before buying any more.  Some of the items I have had for a few years, never used and with my head being the way it is (i.e. like a sieve, lol) I don't remember who, what or where I have purchased them from.  If you look at older post you will see I used this image before but its one of my favourites.

I also have jumped on the band wagon and I am entering this into the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog with the theme of Cute and Girly and also entered it into their DT call.

Once again thank you for dropping by and please feel free to follow my blog and tell your friends to call by and say hello.

Happy Birthday Princess

Good morning everyone and welcome to my blog.

Its starting to get a little colder here and its well seen as I have the pleasure of a sore throat and a bit of a cough. 

Well were at the end of another week and that means we have another wonderful challenge from 

Brown Sugar Challenge Blog.

Our theme this week is - Anything Goes

My image this week is  BBKakes - Flora Fae and colour

with my promarkers.

White card is used for the base card and for my image and sentiment.

I used blue card stock using stormy sky distress ink around the edge, embossed

with tiny dot from spellbinders.  Stamped and embossed with a christmas reindeer, believe is or not as I started out making this as a christmas card.

the flowers and made from blue and white card stock using the bity blossoms die from spellbinders, the folage is a tattered lace die also cut out of blue and white card.

The bow is made with cream seam binding coloured with the stormy sky distress ink with a wild orchid bling in the middle.

I used little bling gems above and below the sentiment.
