get well soon munster

Normally i would say this is a halloween card but we don't really celebrate halloween as much in the uk so i decided this should be a get well soon card instead!

With the way i've been feeling i should have had one of these ... My kids think he should have a runny nose like mummy.

here's the inside

Hope you have a good halloween......

Scrap book saturday will be back after convention...... ( i've been so busy making my swap cards i just haven't done much else)

sweetie bowl colours

It's funky friday again today ( the week just seems to go so quick)  this week  it's a sketch and this is my card,

as the title suggests i saw these colours in a sweet bowl ( the sweets) and thought they were fun and pretty ..

I used Regal rose, chocolate chip, baja breeze, crumb cake, marina mist and whisper white ( that was quite a list!)  I used the new scallop trim border punch and the boho blooms punch

Thanks for dropping by!

something a little different....

Ok so i have to admit i'm a little proud of this myself  :)

i'm really happy with how it turned out..

Meet woody.... my punch art pal  he was so fun to make!

he was for my 5 year olds birthday card.. and i used my punches to make him... the 1 3/4" circle large oval, cropodile,  and the 3 heart punch.... 

with choo choo stamp set ( the puff of smoke makes a really cool cow print)  and the sanded background stamp...

And inside was this little guy! again i used the same punches as before...

My son thought it was great!

bouncing balls!!

It's that time of year again!  party time.. this year my youngest son is having his party at a local play centre with a ball pool and slides etc so i kind of went with that as the theme for his invites.....  some people thought they were bubbles.... some balloons...   but i would like to make sure you all know they are those really annoying plastic balls from the ball pool !!!!!

ok rant over ( he he he )

Any how i thought it was a really simple idea and they were really fun to make!

thanks for dropping by!

Perfect punches

I've gone a bit monochrome today!  Loving black and white at the moment!

super quick and easy i used the scallop edge punch vintage vogue stamp set and the perfect punches stamp set,

Basic grey, basic black and whisper white.

vintage vogue gift ideas

I always try and make sure that my stampers 10 groups get to try making something new each month and my ladies that have been with me from the start have made some really interesting projects over the last couple of years......  this isn't the actual box which we made this month but it is similar just a different colour... this one is cherry cobler.

And every one has wanted to know about the roses so last month i got some of them making the roses too!

Very pretty and a bit christmassy with some shimmer paint.

I had fun making it and I think everyone else did too!
