Extravanagza Projects

Well all the hard work and preparation is over until the next time......

Here is a photo of the projects we did. The morning project was a one sheet wonder and the afternoon was a lovely draw box to put our cards and envelopes into.

Do you remember the bag I should you on Friday? well inside was the stamp set Charming, 4 antique brads, a reel of the victoria lace ribbon and a decorated pen. Everyone used these products during the day as well as their half a pack of spice cake designer series papers, to customise their designs.

Here we are before guests arrived...

Hannah was in a BCA (British Cheerleading Association) competition in Newport on Saturday and I wanted to say a huge well done to the whole squad.

The Minis team came first
The Tiny team came first
The Youth team came first (this is the one Hannah is in)
The senior Stunt group came second.
The senior team were also placed.

The results make all the running around and the costs we parents pay worthwhile.

Sneak Peek

Well ladies we have 7 days until spring extravaganza...are you looking forward to the day?

I thought I would give you a little peek....to tease you.

Now anyone who leaves me a comment will get a FREE entry into my marker pen draw.

So I am hoping I will come back to lots of comments!

ILWS challange Feb 12

I promised myself earlier on in the week that I was going to make my card for this challange.

We had to incorporate something that we love together with something that we don't like or use. (ie that stamp set in the back of the cupboard!)

Now a long time ago I won Autum Days in a raffle, but it was not a stamp set that appealed to me at all!!!! I have lent it out and a friend has made some lovely things so I decided this was the stamp set to use.....Spice Cake are my favourite dsp at the moment...so the card is starting to come together.

I used the baby wipe technique and garden green, riding hood red, and night of navy reinkers to make my own unique inkpad for stamping. I was not going to add a greeting, but thought I would be organised and make a fathers days card.

Here is my card ....

and the inside....

Now the next test will be to see if I can add my link to the challenge on ILWS? wish me luck...

All that glitters

I decided to play some more with the button buddies stamp set, and this time used the cherries stamp. In blogland I had seen something very similiar and decided to recreate.

The cherry is stamp with the basic black ink (be careful this takes a little time to dry) I then used the 3/4" punch to punch out two circles using the lovely red glitter paper from the mini catalogue.

A little red satin ribbon finishes this simple but effective card.

I also decorated the inside of the card.

Right its almost time to do the school run....and after that it's a meeting at school and then I have set myself a challenge to complete with ILWS (in love with stamping) all my materials have been on the table since Sunday so I really must create my design today. The rest of the week is going to be prepping for extravaganza in 12 days time!!!!!!
