Hello crafty friends,

I'm here to show you a card a ihave made for a neighbour.

 

 

 

I've used the floral ovals again for the frame and lalaland rolled roses die.

 

memory box fresh foliage die and also memory box number dies.

 

as this was a special birthday i thought i'd make a quick box

i used my mini martha steward score board to make the edge pattern.

i love the mini board, its so handy for these little jobs.

 

thanks for stopping by and if you fancy something completely different, check out my hubby's

owl photo's today, they are amazing!

must do better.

well my typing is getting worse, i noticed loads of mistakes on earlier post so i will try harder this time.

(i'm blaming the painkillers)

 

I'm here to show you another La La Land card, this time for a special boy.

 

I've used Luca with Truck stamp by la la land and purchased from oysterstamps

 

also used the la la land Heart Fence die and heart tree die.

these dies are so easy to cut and remove from the die, i just love them!

 

the sentiment is from a stamp set called special boy by Our Daily Bread, also from oysterstamps.

 

Luca is coloured with copic markers.

 

ok, time to clean the bathroom, i've put it off long enough!

thanks for stopping by.

I love this cute stamp from La La Land and as i'm always playing with paper this image of Marci with Hearts is perfect for my mum.

i also used floral ovals from spellbinders

 

i udes my little memory box classic alphabet to make the mum chain, i love these alphabet dies!

Special Little Girl & CHALLENGE

good afternoon,

Its a lovely sunny day here today, I wonder if my better half is making the most of it and having lunch with his new camera?

He does take lovely pictures though.

 

enough about his hobby, I'm here with my shaped card as promised on oysterstamps FB page.

I must thank all the ladies on there for the lovely comments on my cards. you know you only have to ask and i will do my best to help with any questions you have.

so a couple of ladies wanted to know the folds for this card....

 

 

i've used Our Daily Bread Dies and stamped imaged and memory box Nottingham border.

 

 

 

now, i don't claim to have any of my husbands photography skills so appologies for my photo's

 

start with a sheet 12cms x 30cms

and fold in half lenghtways

 

along the 30cm length, score at 6cm and 24cm

 

these are your two mountain folds

 

then the diagonal lines which are harder to explain....bare with! lol

 

put a mark on the 11cm point at the top and bottom of the paper and on the middle line mark 8cms. now with diagonal lines join them up.

 

do the same with a mark on the middle line at 22cm and outside edges at 19cms.

 

(am i making sense)?

 

the diagonal lines are valley folds.

 

this is what it should look like flat.

 

 

and this is the view from above.

 

 

now all you have to do is make some mats and layers in your favorite papers.

well, not your 'favorite' favorite papers beacuse we know we can't bring ourselves to use those ones.

(or is that just me)?

 

i used a large circle die to add my centre piece but an oval would look lovely aswell.

 

my email is suzannescards@aol.com

so if you need any help or you just want to say hello then please do.

 

it would be great if you left me a link so i can see the cards you make in this style.

if i get more than 5 links i might even find a little gift to send to my favorite one.

 

good luck!

Purple Draws

hello,

I'm here tonight to show you my latest creation, I'm really pleased with this one

It's my La La Land draw kit.

 

Sorry about the poor picture quality, it was dark so i used my iphone to take the photo.

 

I've used Heartfelt Creations aster papers, OMG this paper pack is lush!

 

The flowers are heartfelt creations aster dies from spellbinders.

 

these la la land kits are now on pre-order from oysterstamps but the flower dies and papers are in stock.

 

I think i mght have to do another one of these because i had difficulty picking what papers to use, they are all so lovely.

 

I'll be back tomorrow to show you another box frame but this one is my favorite.

 

thanks for stopping by.

scrapbook page

hello, wow its a lovely sunny day here again in Essex. It looks almost like spring apart from the patches of snow that have hung around.

I've got something a bit different for you today, some of you may know that i did a calendar challenge with papercraftpat last year, we both enjoyed that so decided this year we would make a scrapbook each month. I have pats photo's and she has some of mine so its nice to see which one's we pick for a project each month and this is my first one.....

these are pats 'boys'

sorry about the position of the watermark but these are not my children so only right for me to cover their faces. even though they are very cute faces!

Peter and Paul and now in their 40's and have children of their own.

I've picked K&Co papers with colours to match the boys sweaters.

the large letters are from a sizzix die set called Broadway Melody

the small letters are GoKreate dies.

The gorgeous corner die was a gift from a docrafts friend but i have a feeling i will need to buy it soon.

It is available from oysterstamps.

I have really enjoyed making the first scrapbook page and i think I could really get into scrapping.

watch this space!

Thank you for stopping to veiw my blog, please leave a comment just to say hello so I know you have been to visit me.
