Elegant Soiree DSP, Always Elegant

I am off to Locks Heath today for a special Stamp with Amanda Day – a reward for having recruited earlier in the year.  There’s always such a buzz meeting up with fellow demonstrators who share the same love and passion for all things Stampin’ Up! This is the card I made for Amanda to […]

Music Notes, Afterthoughts

Some of my club ladies requested I show them how to make flowers that would be suitable to use on scrapbooking pages for their next class.   So in the month of June, the theme was making flowers using punches.  I’m not sure if anyone else has come up with this idea, it happened quite by accident.  The label halves […]

WOYWW #107

Hello again to all you WOYWWers – seems ages since I checked in last.  I promised to show you the carousel when I finished it so here it is finally – had to remake the base as the darn thing wouldn’t stay upright – the centre “pole” I mean and then the “umbrella” part went […]

Father’s Day Gift Album & card

Pillow Box Owl

Father’s Day Mini Album

This is a Father’s Day Gift album for my beloved and I deliberately made a scattered photo collage just in case DH decides to log on!  I don’t think there’s any danger of that because his work doesn’t allow it as it’s an infringement on company policy so he won’t be able to anyway.  {If you want a […]

Progress Report on my Carousel

Remember the carousel I started a few weeks back and displayed on WOYWW here . Well, this is mark 1, the base, but the centre pole wouldn’t stay upright so I had to start again! Here is the new improved base which is much sturdier.  I recycled the doily, re-enforced the base of the pole (lollipop sticks) […]
