Gorgeous flowers on a hot summer day...

Hello again,

Two post in one day!  I need to lay down lol

I just wanted to pop in to share a sample I made for the HSN (US) Craft shows today with Sara Davis.  She's there to show you all some gorgeous Crafters Companion goodies.  The website links for  you to check out what's new are:
US site - http://www.crafterscompanion.com/
UK site - http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/

For this sample I used the glorious A little Bit Sketchy Orchids rubber stamp set by Sheena, and you can catch this and more must have stamps with Sara on HSN later today (but be quick because the new Edgeable dies sold out earlier today!)

My regular followers will know that paper folding and mini journals have sort of taken over my crafty brain recently!  But I managed to contain myself and went half way here, creating a gift card holder with space for a journalling note or a quick pick on the right hand side!

Here's what I used - all supplies are available from Crafters Companion UK or Crafters Companion US

Style: Gift Card Wallet

Image: Orchid and sentiment, Sheena’s Laguna Stamp range

CC materials:

Spectrum Noir’s: LV1, 2, 3, GB8, TN3, LG3, DG5

Paper: Neenah card, backing papers from Times

Gone By CD, CC Black Card

Collal All Purpose glue, 3mm red liner tape

Big score

Other bits: Black micron pen

Sara Davis will be on HSN live again later today, so here's the times so you can watch or set record so you don't miss a thing :D

Here's a couple for pics:

Thank you for stopping by and I'd love to read your comments and feedback on my crafty make :D

Happy Crafting

The theme is Layers, and I think I got there! lol

Hello again,

Layers is the theme of this times challenge over at the totally awesome That Craft Place Challenge Blog.  Now there's a theme I can get next too!

Lisa Horton and Danny have been so awesome since I joined their DT so I wanted to make something a little bit special, so let me know what you think :D

Here is my DT inspiration....Gift Card Tag Wallet

Front Cover of wallet

Open to first page of a tri fold wallet

Fully open showing the inside 2 pages

and of course you have to decorate the back to match!

I loved making this, I have a bit of love affair going on at the minute with designing new journal books, cards, albums and the like.  I love the idea that as papercrafters we can make so much more for our loved ones or to keep our memories than cards.  Smash books, Journalling have all taken off massively, so my little brain has been going ten to the dozen designing around this theme and how we can make 'snapshot' albums to share with friends a little piece of our lives.

Please remember to follow me :D  I'd love to add you to my regular visitors xxx

So, as this make is so complex, I have opened my very own YouTube channel!  
Get me! I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but its fun pressing all the buttons to see what happens lol
