First up is a pullout card in a box.... using Party Pants (my favourite SAB freebie!) I love this!!! Which is code for this is a project you will see again....

Secondly a bow featuring the Metallics Glitter tape... I need to stock up on this... so if you wish to place any orders under that magic £45 level for your own freebie so that  I can do so... I will be forever in your debt.... Tee Hee...

Bloomin Heart in Silver & Blues - by Anne Williams

A beautiful card to share with you today.... This was sent to me by my very talented fellow teamie and SU! demo, Anne Williams. I love your version Anne... I know that you friend will have loved this for her special birthday card....

Anne used the following card of mine as her inspiration... and stepped it up and made it square! Girl after my own heart!!

And I am very happy to say that Anne did not repeat my deliberate error!!!

Look at my card again if you have not already spotted it.... thanks again for pointing it out Sharon...

We had to laugh... either 50 people have been ever so polite upon looking closely at the card at The Craft Spa and at Jems Quarterly Training... or none of us are very observant!!!

And I do wince/laugh a bit every time I see this on Pinterest....

Project Life - Sale A Bration Memories in the Making speciality card collection

I was asked what the cards look like in the Memories in the Making Project Life speciality card collection that is free (with  every £45 ordered ) in the Sale A Bration promotion...

There is one thing I will first point out... that I didn't see at all at first glance... the gold foiling you see on the acetate cards when you open the pack... is not just gold... but it is silver on the other side...

How cool is that!!  Unless of course you open the pack the other way round... then you will just see silver... and yes... the gold is then on the flip side!!

Now if you are local to me in the Yorkshire area you are always welcome to come and have a look at them in the flesh....

But I happened upon this video by Stampin Up! which shows you nicely if you are not! Click on the picture to go straight to the video...

So enjoy...it only takes a few minutes... And you get to see all the cards, some layout ideas and a useful technique - or two - too

Another pair of twins...

Again... just flip the paper over to go boy or girl!

This is a CASE of a card we made at Monthly Training... just using different papers & thread...

Love this card format... a few more variants have already been made!!

And again... the Balloon Celebration stamps and matching punch are just great!

Really love the Mint/Black bakers twine with these balloons

Back to Sky is the Limit... free during Sale A Bration with a £45 order.... but only till 15th February...

Another simple little World Map embossed card...

Propellor, heart vapour trail and clouds given the Wink of Stella treatment...

So this plane really does look like it is in flight... the propellor just looks like it is spinning around...as they do!

Been very busy creating this week... so lots of new projects to share...with my favourite papers.... maybe ever! Back soon....

Number of Years with Butterfly Basics

Nipping in with a quick post before DH gets onto sort my PC out!

Spot the beautiful new Pool Party Glitter Ribbon from the Spring Summer catalogue ... it feels soft, is lovely to tie and very glittery... a winner in my book! I tried to get a blurred photo so you can see the glitter and shine... but to no avail!

I used the numbers and flowers from the Number of Years set - but everything else is from Butterfly Basics (well apart from the background which is You've Got This!)

Colour combination of Mint Macaron, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky and Tip Top Taupe... with the addition of a touch of Blushing Bride for the flowers... 

And just finished off with a few small pearls....

Congratulations... The Sky is the Limit

Relatively short and sweet today... but a fabulous card...

Too many technical "issues" today.... And it is now past my bedtime!

This is a card we made at Julie's Monthly Training this week... she had CASEd this from Melissa Stout's (stampdoc) lovely card shown here

With my favourite Sale A Bration freebie set, Sky is the Limit...

Think all my ladies have this one at the top of their list... so please note that is only available until mid February....

It is really lovely.... and the Sky is the Limit sentiment is fab.... particularly for those of us into those GCSE, AS/A level, University years.... should get a lot of use around here!!

And here is a duo...

The only difference being that I switched the paper round to the other side than on the original make...it just fell like that..and I liked it... though I like it equally in the black paper....

And blotchy clouds ...as I forgot to dry off my card between Aqua Painter watercolouring and stamping ...Oopsy!

Thanks for the makes Melissa/Julie... love this card...
