silhouette butterflies

Morning!

more clean and simple today, you've probably seen these else where already but i just love them they are so pretty!

This was the first time i had played with the silhouette sentiment level 1 hostess set ( even though i've had it for months unmounted!!! too shock horror)  but it's just so pretty!

I used the Beautiful Butterflies bigz die and also the scallop envelope die  too.

Thanks for stopping by!

a little birdie....

I haven't really played too much with my owl punch lately...

but he's just so cute...

still in my clean and simple comfort zone today though!

I used the extra large petal card punch with crumb cake card, with a 1 3/4" whisper white circle, my owl is early expresso which matches the satin ribbon and I also used some the gorgeous springtime vintage designer paper, sentiment is from the Just believe stamp set and i used the extra large modern label punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bigshot beauty

Well if you haven't figured out that i'm loving my bigshot by now let me just tell you again.......

I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!!!  

if you're getting bored with my bigshot madness tuff luck i'm sorry  :)

I saw a gorgeous pillow created on one of the blogs which i hopped this week.. ( i hopped that many i have no idea which one it was) but the lady who made the cushion had used loads of crystals on the cushion and i thought it was gorgeous....

now although i have started my sewing again paper is just so much quicker so i had a go at something similar with this card.

hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

cute and quick stamp a stack

In my comfort zone again today...

Clean and simple

I used the Manhattan flowers embossing folder on some of them and the fast and fabulous stamp set, with clear block c as a background image, i water coloured the flowers in baja breeze and soft suede.

I didn't add a sentiment because i always need a sentiment i haven't got stamped so i'll add those later when i need them :)

Totally top note

This post is super late sorry....  but the royal wedding distracted me slightly and after getting to bed way to late after chilling with the neighbours at our street party i was just sooo tired...  pregnancy and late nights don't mix i fear...

Any how this is the fab project which my stampers 10 ladies got to make last month...

They were just so much fun and every one's projects were personalised for them and came out slightly different it was great to see my ladies use their creativeness to make such elegant ( and useful) projects  I love the jewelry boxes!
