Welcome to this month's Ink & Share Blog Hop The Theme for this month is LOVE When I hear the words LOVE I tend to think of hubby and family but LOVE can be for anything you enjoy and get a warm feeling from. So for this month's theme I decided to do a layout around cream teas which I love especially if it is a Gluten Free one. I have a few photos of cream teas that I had had either with hubby or friends so decided to use those. This enabled me to use the stamp set Tea Together and...
Stampin Friends February 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Stampin Friends Blog Hop. The theme for this month is Favourites. This is an easy one for me as I love anything with Butterflies on and we have a few stamp sets and dies which fit this category. I decided to go for the Butterfly Beauty dies as you can die cut so many different butterflies. My Project I have been working with Sandra Roberts (my upline) on a Techniques Folder so that I can remember the different techniques and refer back if I get stuck. I love working...
Scrapbooking Global February 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop where I am joining various Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world. The theme this month is a Sketch Challenge.

Colour Combo February 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Colour Combo Blog Hop. This month's colours are Merry Merlot, Pineapple Punch and Pool Party. I wanted to use the Honey Bee stamp set from the January - June 2020 Mini Catalogue for this month's card. I started by stamping the bee hive in Merry Merlot ink and placed a mask over the stamped image so that I could sponge the background with Pool Party and Pineapple Punch. Then I stamped the smaller bee onto Whisper White and coloured in the striped using an aqua painter...
Ink & Share Scrapbook January 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this months Ink & Share Blog Hop. This month's theme is up to us to choose. As I am doing my family history I have a couple of photographs that were of my Granddad during his service in the Second World War. Stampin' Up! has the Painted Poppy Suite which is so versatile and I just had to use it for these photographs. I started by using the larger outline poppy stamp to make a border along the bottom. I then used the larger background stamp to stamp around the 12x12 card stock....

Scrapbooking Global January Blog Hop – New Beginnings
Welcome to a New Year, a New Decade and of course a new year of Scrapbooking Global Blog Hops. The theme this month has to be New Beginnings. When I saw that this month's theme was a New Beginnings Scrapbook Layout I knew exactly what my topic was going to be. 2020 is certainly going to be a new beginning for my son as he is about to complete on the purchase of his first house. It is a brand new, newly built house so I have made a start on producing a double scrapbook layout. This double...
