Happy Birthday Rachel

I can safely post this card now as I've given it to the lovely Rachel from The Papeterie who is 19 tomorrow. Oh to be that age again!!
It was a great excuse to get colouring one of Krista's Saturated Canary images. I've bought loads of her gorgeous digi stamps but don't seem to have the time to do much crafting.

Image : Becki from Saturated Canary, coloured with promarkers (fine nibs for the details)
gingham paper was a present from the lovely Tina, grey cardstock is stampin' up, white cardstock and diamond white stamping card from The Papeterie, greeting is Inkadinkado, spellbinders oval and lacy oval dies, Hero Arts envelope pattern stamp with Angel Pink memento inkpad and seam binding from Angel Crafts.


I'd like to enter her into :
Saturated Canary - Dies or punches (dies, plus I used a corner rounder punch on the sentiment)

Last Day of The Tattie Holidays

kids are back to school tomorrow, and not a moment too soon lol
I love my kids more than anything else in the world, but when they're bored they drive me bananas. And with the rotten weather, they've been confined inside for a lot of the time - let's just say I'm looking forward to my own company for 6 hours tomorrow :)


I'm back to share some more samples from last weekend with you. As a Product Coach for Letraset, I'm required to demonstrate a whole range of products - I know, it's a hard life isn't it lol Because Promarkers and Flexmarkers are so popular, I spend the majority of my time with them. But now and again I get to play with all the other products that Letraset produce, including Aquamarkers.


Aquamarkers are ideal for making quick and easy backgrounds, so I thought I'd illustrate this point by making up some simple ATC's. It's also a quick and easy technique to demonstrate in store.
All you need is a craft mat/baking sheet, some aquamarkers and a water or mica spray.

 Inkadinkado greeting, aquamarkers, That Special Touch mica spray, Tonic butterfly punch

 I tilted the ATC to show off the mica spray

Fiskars birdie punch, Tim Holtz filmstrip stamp, aquamarkers, That Special Touch Mica Spray.

Try it on Tuesday - taking to the skies

The Sew Room

Time is running away from me again, so I'm playing catch up once more... 
Had a pretty busy weekend, haircuts all round on Saturday morning, then a flying visit to The Papeterie on the way out to the grand opening of The Sew Room.
Kath shared some more pics of the shop the other day and it really is a beautiful shop, full of wonderful things. The girls managed to empty my purse for me, so the next time I go I think I'll be leaving them at home so I can buy some goodies for myself :)
Anyway, I made a wee shop-warming gift for Anne...

I used Kaisercraft - Black and White Timeless papers coloured with Distress Stain (spun sugar)
Tim Holtz -  Sewing Room die (cut from Papermania Kraft cardstock)
Prima - butterfly alphabet stamp, PI stamps, EK Success button border punch, Claudine Hellmuth sticky backed canvas, memento and distress ink pads
I'd like to enter this into... 
Lexis Creations - Pink for Boobies
Make It Monday with Kraft Outlet - to die cut
Stamptacular Sunday - so distressing


A wee bag to put it in...
