Little Holiday !!

Hi Everybody,

My eldest daughter has recently move to France and so doesn't get to see her Grand Children as much  as she did. So this weekend my Granddaughter and I are taking the children to visit their Gran.

We are going to the Bordeaux region and I am hoping very much that it is still warm

Griff and Ruby are not coming with me on this occasion but I am sure we will go back to visit again soon and we will get Ruby her very own passport and then she can come with us.

I won't be doing a blog post for a couple of days as I won't get back until very late on Tuesday but I will see you again on Wednesday with the latest magazine freebie video for you,

 I hope that you will come back to visit my pages then

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie - Life's an Adventure

Hi Everybody,

A travel themed A4 stamp set is the gift this week and that was with Creative Stamping earlier this year.

I did a video to accompany the set and you will find it here  ...

Life's An Adventure

You can make cards for all occasions and male or female with this set and I love the camper van image. Perfect for those going travelling in one.

Now if you would like to win this one then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post and leave your FULL NAME to be in with the chance to win it.

Please come back tomorrow to see if your name is listed as the winner

Creative Stamping 61 Fancy Foliage Summer

Hi Everybody,

Here is the second video using the stamp set from Creative Stamping 61

It is going to be on sale today so keep a look out for it if you would like this set.

It has so many possibilities from winter to summer and everything in between and I really enjoyed playing with it

I made floral backgrounds in different colours and I named in the video the Distress Oxides I used for each colour way.  My favourite is the pink one and I am going to sit and colour that one later.

But in the video I wanted a really soft look and went for the blues and greys to share with you ... and it turned out really pretty as it was so you don't have to colour it if you prefer not too.

Add any sentiment you wish to personalise your card

Creative Stamping 61 Fancy Foliage Winter

Hi Everybody,

The stamp set that comes free with this issue of Creative Stamping gave me so many ideas on how to use it.

And so I ended up making two video with the same stamps but varying the theme for each one.

This one is created as a Winter Card for Christmas 

I will add the second video tomorrow and that is for more of a Summer  Birthday card

I used the Flower Shaping Tool, which is one of the free gifts to add dimension to the flower, the pine comes and the Robin and I really liked the look of this card once it was done. 

It has lovely depth to it for added interest. 

More tomorrow ...
