Choo Choo Train

Stu asked me if I could make a birthday card for his friend's little boy for his birthday. I used red cardstock for the base card.The PP is K&Co Kazoo Kids as is the number 2 which I matted onto green Bazzill and red card.The train image is from the Making Tracks download from NitWit Collections,which I covered with glossy accents.Matted onto green Bazzill and red card.The ticket is also from the Making Tracks collection. I matted it onto some red card and stamped the Happy Birthday and Your Special Day with Woodware clear stamps and the name was using a Studio G alphabet.I ran a strip of red card through the Cutlebug with the Happy Birthday embossing folder.I finished it off with some buttons and ribbon.
I also decided to decorate the inside with matching K&Co Kazoo Kids PP. I printed the verse off and mounted it onto green and red card again and added 4 brads. Stu drew the tracks for me and I cut them on the Craft Robo and made them into a little photo frame,to add a birthday picture to.The carriage was again from the Making Tracks collection and I again added glossy accents and stamped the sentiment with a Studio G clear stamp.
To finish it off i made a matching box and covered it with K&Co Kazoo Kids PP,tag and grand adhesion.

New Beginnings......

After everything that's been happening recently it's time to move forward so I decided to give my blog a bit of an overhaul.Hopefully I'll get the rest done soon as I've only changed the background. I've seen some lovely blogs with gorgeous backgrounds so decided on the Rock theme....surprise! As my post says....New Beginnings,so I decided to post some baby cards I've done.

The first three boy cards I was asked to make for someone.The papers are all Craft Creations.Both stamped images are from Stamping Bella. The pram image I stamped onto card then stamped onto PP and cut out the pram body and decoupaged.The middle card pram is made using the Multishaper punch.I punched a circle and cut out a quarter to make pram shape.

The baby girl cards were both also commissions.PP is Craft Creations and the pram has been decoupaged as on the baby boy card.The baby cake and box were cut on my Craft Robo using a fab template from UKScrappers,and the bib and bottle were made from Sculpey clay.

Lastly is 2 cards I was asked to make by Stu as his friends were due a baby.I got the inspiration for these cards from here.

I didn't have the right size Scalloped ovals,so Stu made the shape for me on Autocad and I converted to a Craft Robo GSD file and cut it on my Robo. The papers were printed out from Hallmark Scrapbook. The sentiment was printed onto a tag shape on Shrink plastic and heated t0 reduce.

Thanks for looking.

Red Carpet

Well I'd just like to thank everyone for their good wishes on my trip back to hospital for another wee operation. All is well so far but just a wee bit tender at my hips.I keep bumping into the kitchen worktops too as it's just at the same height...ouch!
I was to be at The Golden Jubilee Hospital for 11am and arrived at the car park entrance at 10.30ish to be greeted by 3 police officers who waved me to stop. What's the nature of the visit they asked. I'm being admitted for an operation I said,so they waved me on into the car park. When I drove in the place was full of police. Two walking towards me had braid on their hats. Not PC's for sure...lol. Couldn't find a parking space so drove round to the other side of the hospital where the hotel is and parked.As I walked up to the entrance a guy was hoovering a red carpet. Geez...they didn't have to go to all that trouble for me....pmsl. Anyway as it turned out HRH Queen Elizabeth was visiting to open the new heart and lung department. Mystery of all the police solved!
I was put into the same room I had when I had my op back in January and had a great view of the helipad. Down came the helicopter and dropped off HRH and Prince Philip,who then jumped into their Rolls Royce and were driven by the hospital windows where we were all standing and received the Royal Wave. Was tempted to wave my paper knickers but would probably have got carted off to the Tower. So that was my gossip for the day.

I've added a couple of cards that I made for Louis teachers to prevent the boredom of my previous waffle....lol. Louis finished nursery a week past on Friday,so my baby starts school in August. I can't believe it. The time has just flown by.
Both cards are using Birthday Hamish kindly got for me by Stu along with some others.I've coloured them both with my Prismacolors. The pink PP is Daisybuckets (gasp!) and the brown is Heidi Grace and has a lovely silk and flock feel. Papermania Brads (ordinary and sugar coated), Making Memories cheeky clips,flowers and Studio G sentiment stamps.

Rockchick Card And Rockchick Night

Before I post pictures from the Def Leppard/Whitesnake concert last night I thought I'd show you a card I made for a good friend from one of the Rockchick doodles Kerry (curlygirlyme) sent to me when she sent me my card.
I used a Black and Teal blue colour combination.Black cardstock matted with Basic Grey Two Scoops teal coloured paper.I then used some black lace edged with teal and fixed it to the card using DST and black eyelets (don't ask where the lace was from!.....lol).The rock paper is by Crate and I ripped it to shape the card on either side.As the lace was a pain to stay stuck I decided to set more eyelets and making it lace up the front using teal ribbon.The stamped sentiment is from Studio G but I went over it with a black Sakura glaze pen.The red rose rub on was from a set I had (can't remember who by).The top right corner I've threaded teal ribbon through the eyelets and added a Dovecraft fancy brad but changed the central brad to a Papermania teal coloured pearl brad to match the colours as it was originally pink. I then added some pearls and teal ribbon under it. Kerry's rockchick doodle I coloured with my Prismacolor pencils and added some Papermania clear gems to the studded belt.I also used my Sakura black glaze pen on the beads.
The card was made as a thank you for a lovely,kind,generous deed done by a good pal.

Well what can I say about the Def Leppard/Whitesnake concert but WOW,WOW,WOW!. What a fantastic night.I was standing in the 3rd row from the stage slightly to the right so I could get a good view of David Coverdale and Doug Aldrich from Whitesnake and Joe Elliott from Def Leppard.(great eye candy!...lol) Whitesnake were on first and David Coverdale just played the crowd magnificently, especially the women. I have to say he totally made my night on two occasions.During the first track I got eye contact with him and blew him a kiss and he blew one back...swoonnnnnnnnnn....pmsl. Then nearer the end again I got eye contact and was blowing kisses with both hands and he responded again.....wooooooooooooo. No luck from Joe though....sniff.Def Leppard were excellent too though despite no kisses from Joe....pmsl.Was a fabulous night.My feet were sore,voice was hoarse and my hands were bruised from clapping,but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I've got a few pictures to post but will post better ones later as my friend had a better resolution camera so took most of the pictures.














Lastly I'd just like to say thanks to Beautifullily for the lovely blog candy of lace she had and that I can't believe I won. So many thanks for that.It's beautiful.

Mini Pocket Book

Well I finally decided to take my Bind-It-All out of it's box and use it. I was lucky enough to see Nicki from Trimcraft demo'ing the BIA and decided I must really use mine. Morag our scrapbook teacher is leaving to go back to the USA and so I decided rather than make a card,I'd make a mini book. I thought of having the pockets so I could make lots of little tags (cut on the Craft Robo) for all the girls to write something personal on. I used the lovely Dovecraft Papers which are in shades of black,white and fuchsia pink. The sentiment on the front was from a HOTP kit and the flowers are Dahlia Blend Flora Doodles from Joanna Sheen. I added loads of contrasting ribbons to the wires.
Inside I used Papermania fuschia pink cardstock and again it's all decorated with the Dovecraft papers and matching brads. I've also used more of the flowers inside.The inner front cover has a good luck verse which is matted onto fuchsia pink card cut with the new multishaper punches from Docrafts. I've put in lots of photos from our night out and added lots of little scrapbooking quotes from scrapbook.com.
I've only uploaded a few of the pages to give the general idea of what's in it.

A Couple Of Card Commissions

The lovely man I bought my Prismacolors from loved my little Eloise Greengrass card and asked me if I would make two for his little grand daughters as they love fairies. The only stipulation was would I put their names on them and do one blonde and one brunette to match their hair colours.
How could I refuse making cards with this lovely little fairy stamp.

Again it's the Eloise Greengrass stamp from Stamping Bella.
The first card is coloured with Prismas and mounted onto green Bazzill Bling. PP is Glitter Ribbons. Name cut with Cuttlebug Olivia Alphabet from green bling and mounted onto green card with Swiss Dots embossing. Threaded yellow organza ribbon through two eyelets. Flora Doodle flowers with Papermania gem brad in centre.




The second is similar only in a different colour scheme. Again coloured with Prismas and mounted onto purple Bazzill bling.PP is DCWV Pocketful Of Posies. The name and ribbon are all done in the same way as first card.Again I used Flora Doodles but with a pearl brad from The Paper company in the middle.


If anyone is looking for Prismas at a great price.Please let me know and I'll recommend you to Tony.

My First 8x8 Card

I thought I'd have a go at making an 8x8 card.I saw the instructions on someone's blog but can't remember where now.If anyone knows please let me know and I'll link to it.
I used pink cardstock to make the basic card.The PP is Papermania double sided card. the butterfly image is a Penny Black one which I mounted onto pink card and scalloped plum coloured Bazzill.The pink and plum border I got bought in Hobbycraft. Flower is a Flora Doodle from Joanna Sheen, with a Papermania pearl brad in the middle and some white pearls behind it. The sentiment was written on my Robo and mounted onto pink card and plum Bazzil. I just need to add some glittery bits and it'll be finished. It's for my MIL's birthday. I just have the small problem of not having an envelope big enough for it! I've bought some A3 paper so will have a go at making one.
