Seeing Hearts...........

Today was the perfect day to stay indoors and Scrap.......it is cold and wet outside!

So I put a layout together :)

I really liked the Sketch from

The Twist is to use Stitching on your layout.

I have used 'Made With Love' collection by Kaiser. Just like the tag reads on my layout......... it was attached to the packaging of an embellishment pack.

This is me and my wonderful Husband. I guess by now you have figured out why I have titled my post 
"Seeing Hearts"



I'm off to clean the kitchen that I have neglected all day because I've been scrapping:) Just in time for dinner!

Thankyou so much for visiting, have a wonderful weekend.

Garden Party

Hello.........
Garden Party is the theme for this weeks challenge  at "The Shabby Tea Room".
And
I am so excited to be their guest designer this week.........what an Honour!

Look at this pretty picture for inspiration.

I liked it so much I decided to do my version of it with the Cricut!


'Picturesque' cartridge was used to cut the gate and branch and the flowers are from 'Flower Shoppe'.


The paper collection is 'Bonjour' by Kaiser..........it is a real favourite of mine.
I used Glossy Accents to highlight the bird and add dimension. The flowers have a sprinkling of Diamond Dust. 


 Have a fabulous week everyone...........

See You Soon

Follow your Heart............

'The Shabby Tea Room' challenge # 114 ........ Be inspired by the colours in this gorgeous photo and to create a Shape Card.


I decided to go with my favourite shape a HEART. 


I used 'Life's a Party' cricut cartridge to cut the scallop heart.





I wanted to create flowers similar to the ones in the  photo.......lots and lots of pretty petals.
So  I recycled some tissue paper, cutting lots of layers with a flower die. 
They look so soft and fluffy:) Underneath the crinkle ribbon and flowers is a lace doily........it is a little hard to make out in the photo. The sentiment is from stamping up and the embossing folder is from Sizzix.

 


I have a" Guest Design " spot at The Shabby Tea Room on Monday...........so excited:)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone
Thank you 4 stopping by, see you soon

Berrylicious

One of my favourite deserts is "Pavlova" covered in lots of strawberries.

Berrylicious I think:)

The theme this week for 'Stuck on U Sketches' die cut team is "Fruit".
Jordyn requested a Pavlova for her 15th  birthday cake so I thought these photos would be perfect !


I used 'Hello Kitty' cartridge for the strawberries and Martha Stewart 'Elegant cake Art' for the large doily.
I used 'Art Philosophy for the font.


Look at this strawberry banner from 'Country Life' cartridge..........I have not used this cartridge very much and did not realise it had this feature until now! Most of the images on the cartridge can be cut out in a banner, how cool is that. At the moment I am going through a banner stage.......I just love them:)


I hope you can join us for this fun challenge!
Head over to 'SOUS' and have a peak at the Design Teams fabulous 'Fruit Salad' of inspiration.......


Enjoy your day and Thank you for stopping by:)

Just a Card

Hello and Happy Mothers Day to everyone.........I have had a great day! And if you are just starting your day 
"ENJOY"
I have a card to show you that I have made for The Shabby Tea Room .
It always has the most gorgeous inspirational photos, I just have to play along......sometimes I wish I could just re-create the photo! 

This week we need to add a rose to our creation.
Using "Flower Shoppe' cartridge I cut lots of little rolled flowers to make the roses.


Here's the close up!


 The watering can was cut using 'April Showers' cartridge.....I embossed the word LOVE on the front of it.
 The ribbon is crepe paper.
Yes I know............nothing like this pretty photo but the idea behind it is their:)


I have been busy working on some layouts...........I hope to be back soon to show you.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

With Love

Hi everyone..............
Its time for another "Stuck on U Sketches" die cut challenge:) The theme this week is 
In Celebration of Mothers
My husband and children often buy me Flowers for Mothers Day, so with that in mind I created this card.





I love the soft colours of this 'Sweet Nothings' paper collection by Kaiser. I used Art Philosophy cartridge for the flowers and Martha Stewart elegant cake art for the scallop border under the flowers. ( You can just see it). The heart and flourish are Cheery Lyn.

Head over to 'SOUS' and look at the fabulous projects the rest of the Design Team have created.
I hope you can join us! 

I'm entering my card in this weeks challenge at 'The Shabby Tea Room'.............The theme  is
'Spring is Love'
add, polka dots, flowers and a Heart. The background paper and scallop border have dots on it:)

I have had a very busy couple of weeks, I'm so happy next week is a little slower, I will have more time to visit you:)
Thankyou so much 4 stopping by

Happy Crafting
