Something other than cards..

A little while ago I made some off the page projects I would like to share with you.

My dear friend Gemma's birthday was a few month's ago and I made her a canvas with her initial "G" on it, and a matching little purse/box. This project was created from our Simply Scrappin kit "Sweet Nothings" which I love very much as it is so pretty and elegant. These Scrappin kits make any project or card making so easy as the kit is created to all co-ordinate with each other, and they include all the papers and self adhesive die cuts you could possibly need...


(Sorry it is a shocking photo taken of it!!...lol)

One of my favourite Stampin' Up! designer series papers this year happens to be the "Raspberry Tart" collection, which the next two projects have been used with. The first project is a simple soup tin turned into a pretty tin for my pens/scissors to sit in on my desk.

and the next one is a box (not to sure what to put in it yet!) made to personalise me, as it has my initial on the front of it, and I used chipboard for the letter "B" and covered it with the DSP. These two projects sit next to each other on my craft table and look great together, as this paper range to me is bright and happy!.

Hope you like my creations above...sorry about the quality of the photos but that is not my strong point photography!!!

Well, another post in a few days, not doing to too bad so far...I am trying to make up for lost time...lol...

Thankyou!

As you can see this is my first post in such a long time!!.

I really have no excuse as to why I have not been around, as I am still an active Demonstrator and love it still more than ever, but I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all my customers, friends, and Stampin' Up! demonstrators/friends who have supported me since my blog has been created. Even though I have not posted on here in a while I have still had so many visitors stop by, so I am forever grateful you have not given up on me!. I want to say a BIG "thanks" and "hello" to a couple of people in particular who have always given me the encouragement and inspiration needed to keep on going and they are "Karen Robinson", "Pam Godfrey" and most of all my upline "Melissa Garland" who is always there for us when we need her. I came away last night from our Team Meeting feeling inspired to update my blog and to get back into the swing of things, and to not be so slack in the future!

I hear alot of you saying now, OMG she has finally updated it after so long, so please leave me some comments along the way to keep me going on, and to give me a reason to update!...lol.....Thanks again everyone...Mwah!!
