I have been a bad blogger mainly because I have been on holiday to the Sandals Resort in St Lucia to celebrate my Special Birthday. We had a wonderful time my son and his girlfriend joined us and my son surprised us all by Proposing to his girlfriend on the Beautiful Beach at Sunset. It was a wonderful surprise and made a great ending to my Birthday and the Holiday. A Holiday never to forget.
I intend to make up for not posting for so long by upload a card each day with the new stamp sets from the catalogue. I hope to receive these in the next day or so.






I made 8 christmas cards and a box using less than half of the Christmas Jingle Scrapbooking Kit from the new catalogue. What good value Stampin Up Kits are.

Satchel/ Bag


I saw a few of these Satchels made up and just had to try one to-day I decided not to add the handles on this one so it is more of a bag which can hold a few cards that you could give as a gift. This design was made by one of the very talented ladies on ILWS and I just love it. I will up load another project tomorrow. I have been a bad blogger lately but I will try to get back to weekly updates. I am doing weekly card making and scrapbook class in my home here in Cranfield if you are interested in these please contact me I will put up the details of the classes soon.

New cards

As you can see the Rabbit fits into a large envelope.
I covered and decorated the Heart shaped tin in SU designer papers and filled it with pink crafty goods for a friend( less Fattening).
















Hi everyone sorry I missed posting last week I was busy making all these Easter goodies. I made the Huge Rabbit from SU card and Designer Paper it turned out well I think, This Rabbit can be folded down to fit in a large envelope see the other view. I made a few cards and boxes to match, one of which I saw when I went to our Regional Training Meeting it was the pink one the lovely Val made hers in yellow and I just had to make one.
