Alternative Colours to Celebrate Christmas
Welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. The theme this month is Celebrate. For my project I decided to experiment with alternative colours to celebrate Christmas. Normally the colour combinations I use are Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler or Garden Green and Real Red so I wondered how Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party would look. How I made my card using alternative colours to celebrate Christmas I started by cutting a Basic White landscape card base and adding a Sweet Sorbet mat...
Birthday Card Using a Coloured In Image
Welcome to this month's Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This Month's Theme is Personalisation. When I saw the theme this month I was totally stuck as to what to make so following a Blends Colouring Course run by the amazing Heather Thomas I produced a birthday card using a coloured in image for a female who is very close to me. As I attended the Stampin' Up! OnStage event a couple of weeks ago in Vienna I received the Beautifully Happy stamp set which will be available as part of the...

Scrapbook Layout using Autumn Colours
Welcome to this Month's Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. The theme this month is Autumn Colours. When I saw that the theme for this month was to design a scrapbook layout using autumn colours I knew I wanted to use the Ringed With Nature Bundle. When I am driving anywhere out of my village the roads are lines with various trees and bushes so I love seeing them change as the seasons come and go. I think my favourite season is Autumn as there is such a variety of colours as the leaves change...
Christmas card with Gift Card

Scrapbook Layout using Geometric Shapes
Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. The theme this month is: Geometric Shapes. The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Mai Lavidalie. When I saw the theme to make a Scrapbook Layout using Geometric Shapes I immediately wanted to use the hexagons from the Beautiful Shapes dies. I also had a photograph of bees nesting in a post box a few years ago so I thought I would use the hexagons to make the honey comb. How I made my Scrapbook Layout using Geometric Shapes I...

For some reason these colours just screamed out to be used to make a watercolour splat background for a Thank You card. How I made my Colour Challenge Thank You card I started by wetting a sheet...
