Bad blogger must do better!

I really must try and keep my blog up to date!

Some dear friends of mind celebrated their Ruby wedding anniversary recently and I wanted to make a special card, I did struggle a bit but eventually came up with this card.

I love the Martha Stewart deep edger punch and have used it on quite a lot of things recently!

Christmas is fast approaching - although I don't really want to think about it - and we are getting lots of new stock in the shop but there a lot more to be added so keep checking back :~)

I just love the new Spellbinders dies but I really can't decide which ones I like most.....

I have been so busy with all the new stock (click here for a look) that I haven't had any time to update the blog or look at other peoples :(

I have made a few cards which I hope you will like.

I had another delivery this afternoon and have just finished sorting it out, some die-cut decoupage and lots of glitter board, don't we all just love a bit of glitter!

I'm waiting on the new Spellbinder dies and the Martha Stewart punches arriving they should be here next week....or so they tell me!

Another scapbook!

Some pictures of a scrapbook I made for my Nephew's 21st birthday, I didn't manage to photograph all the pages I did as it ended up being done in a bit of a rush....

The photo quality isn't very good (I'll blame the rush in trying to photograph it before I handed it over!) and it's much brighter in "real" life. He really did seem to like it and I was inundated with requests to make them for lot's of people at his party (I'm sure they were all drunk at the time LOL). Sadly I don't have the time to take personal orders for scrapbooks at the moment :(

He get's called G coz he's ginger!!

Hope you like the pages as well.

Christmas Flower Fairies on Dufex Card

These are the new flower fairies sheets from Dufex (the picture doesn't really do them justice - they are really shimmery) and they are mounted on the new Dufex Shimmer Christmas Card Blanks - Holly. These cards are A4 in size but when cut in half there is enough to make 8 A6 (A5 folded) cards so they are great value.

I think I'll be scrapping all weekend (yippee!) - I'll post some pic's when it's eventually finished.

Some Fairy cards

When these gorgeous new die cut fairy decoupage sheets by Caron Vinson arrived in the webshop I could wait to have a play and I thought they would go well with the square Deco Floursh cards (all available fro www.crafting-mad.co.uk).

Hope you like them.

The cards are preprinted with the scrolls, the decoupage sheets are die cut and the gems are self adhesive so these cards are really quick and easy to make :)

What a week!

It's been "one of those weeks", it started badly when I caught a cold and ended up in bed most of the weekend, then I had to do various family hospital runs.....

But it got better as we had a couple of family birthday's this week. We went for a meal to a lovely restaurant in Bathgate, well in the Bathgate hills. It was beautiful night so I had to take the camera and the views were magnificent, if it had just been that wee bit warmer we would had believed we were abroad not in Scotland!!

This is the Waterlilly restaurant (it's a wedding venue as well!), which sits's (like an island) on a reservoir full of fish!!

Views over the water......

My house.....LOL in my dreams maybe.....

A rare shot of all my "boy's" Dad, hubby and son's!

Mum and Dad.

The meal was very good as well and I would recommend it, if ever you find yourself near Bathgate it's worth checking it out....especially if its a good day!

Here's a link for info http://www.thevu.co.uk/

I did manage to do a wee bit of crafting this week and will add some photo's later.

Happy Crafting!
