Beneath the Brambles

 Good morning and a very happy Tuesday! Today I'm sharing a tag that I made using the fabulous Beneath the Brambles collection by Lou Collins. This is the latest in her TEXT(ures) range.

This is an amazing collection with 12x12 & 8x8 papers, stamps, stencils, ephemera, cutting dies and rub-ons. (Yes, I did use pretty much all of these on my tag)

I started by making an inky background with distress oxides.

Then I added some stamping and stencilling.

The typewriter keys are a rub-on, and the magnifying glass is a die.

I love this brick wall stamp. The flowers are from the ephemera pack.

The berries and leaves are another die, and the sentiment is a push-out from the 8x8 papers. What a brilliant idea, this is such a well-thought-out collection.

The whole collection can be found here in Sally's store

Walk Like an Egyptian

 Good morning, happy Sunday, and a very happy Mothers Day! Today I'm sharing a Twist and Pop card made with the fabulous new Cleopatra Queen of Egypt collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

This is the front. Aren't these papers gorgeous?

And this is the back. I love the teals and the rich browns.

And this is the inside, more lovely imagery and sentiments.

This really is a wonderful collection, and as always, is available in both A4 paper, and digital formats. They are also available in US sizes if you prefer.

A Grumpy Princess Birthday

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing a card made with a fabulous new Andy Skinner stamp, on sale at Relatively Thoughtful.

This is such a fun stamp, and really easy to colour with the Andy Skinner inks.

I know exactly who is getting this for their birthday lol.

My grumpy princess has been stamped on watercolour card and coloured with Andy Skinner inks.

I love this quirky sentiment!

You can never have too many Happy Birthday stamps.

There's a range of Andy Skinner stamps in the store, and Princess Attitude can be found here.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend x

Hidden Creek Pages

Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing a double-page layout made with the beautiful Hidden Creek collection by Arden Creative, and on sale at Relatively Thoughtful.

We had a lovely weekend at Centre Parcs last September, and these papers go so well with the outdoor photographs.

I found a painted rock, so I had to photograph it!

All of the apartments had a chalkboard door, and Hallie had great fun drawing on them all!

It's a beautiful collection, with 12x12 papers, 8x8 papers, laser cuts, rub-ons and loads of ephemera.

I never know what to say on the page, but when it's already written down for you it becomes a lot easier!

This fabulous butterfly is a rub-on, and it just blends into the paper.

The leaf is a laser cut. It's so delicate, and no need for fussy cutting!

The ephemera is great for adding a sentiment.

All of this can be found here in the store

Life is Abundant

Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing the first couple of monthly folios using the beautiful Life is Abundant papers by Graphic 45, and on sale at Relatively Thoughtful. I've followed a tutorial from Linda's Scraproom and I'll put a link to her YouTube channel at the end.

I've made January's and February's so far. These are the fronts.

And these are the backs.

The folios measure 10.25 x 6.25 and there's loads of room for full sized photos.

I've had my January photos printed already, so there's our trip to an indoor play area, and a visit to London to see Abba Voyage.

There's a tuck spot on the back page, made with one of the cut-aparts. You could also put a 7x5 photo on the page as well.

This is February's folio, all ready for the photos. There's a pocket on the front inside cover, together with a belly band to tuck in other items.

And this is the inside back which shows all the space available for photographs.

I've stamped the monthly calendar, so I can write down any important dates. The older I get the more I have to write it down lol.

A Lovely Day

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing an anniversary card which could very easily be turned into a Valentine's card just by changing the sentiment.

Again I've used the fabulous 'Lovely' collection. 

These cats and dogs are so cute, and just perfect for adding a little bit of glitter.

The sentiment is from my favourite ever Katzelkraft set, but these papers are so versatile, so would make a great Valentine's card.

I've added lots of glitter glue to my die cuts so they are really solid lol.

And here's my romantic couple. There are lots of sheets of cut-aparts, so it's easy to find the right image.

Of course I had to put them in their own shaker with lots of lovely sequins.

As always the collection is available in both A4 papers and a digital download.
