Kre8tors May 2019 Blog Hop
Welcome this month's Kre8tors Blog Hop. This month's theme is Techniques. In March I was lucky to attend a weekend retreat with my upline Sandra Roberts when she showed me this amazing Faux Silk technique. I started off this technique by first stamping the image from Wonderful Romance stamp set onto tissue paper and coloured in using Stampin' Markers. I then let it dry before scrunching up the tissue paper. Next I spread Tombow all over a piece of Whisper White card stock using the wide...

The Sheltering Tree stamp set is...

Welcome to this month's Colour Combo Blog Swap As you can see this month's colours are Balmy Blue, Mango Melody and Blackberry Bliss.

Scrapbooking Global April 2019 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. As you can see from the above image the theme this month is Flowers or Spring which has been set by our Guest Designer: Mariejosee Gagnon. For my scrapbook layout I decided to use up some of my wedding photos that contained flowers.

I then stuck them onto a piece of 12x12 Blushing Bride card stock which...
Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop – April 2019
Welcome to the April Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. As you can see this month's theme is masculine which is a bit harder for me to do as my husband does not like his photo being taken. I managed to get this photo of my husband when the local paper were doing a feature on the Estate Agents he is a director of. For my layout I do not often have masculine papers or stamp sets so I was limited in what I had in my stash. I found some strips of the Wood Textures designer series paper which were...

Welcome to the SF 2019 April Blog Hop. This month's theme is Mother's Day. The UK had their Mother's Day back in March and the rest of the world will be celebrating it in May. In the UK Mothering Sunday is always the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is a day where children give their mother's presents, flowers and a hand made card. Here is what I have made - a covered notebook and card. I started by looking for some ideas on Pinterest and came across a layout where there were three strips of embossed...
Kre8tors April 2019 Blog Hop
Welcome to April's Kre8tors Blog Hop. This months theme is Spring with a colour combo twist. We have been given the following image and these lovely colours. For this blog I decided to use a stamp set I was very keen on but decided to use it to challenge me plus I had the lovely mini punches to match. The stamp set is Bloom by Bloom and I decided to produce a card that any beginner could make using minimal products. Here is the card I came up with. I love the colours that we could use for this...
