The beauty of Spring

We had some woodchipping to do in the garden today so I thought I would take an opportunity to get some happy snaps of hubby & the kids and couldn't resist grabbing a couple of photos of some of our flowers. This may well be the first time ever I have done this but after uploading them can see countless possibilities for scrapping. The shots would be lovely on the cover of a Mothers Day mini book and/or card and also a lovely keepsake for years to come of how we spent some of our weekends as a family. With processing at just 15c a photo I think I might print several of these for quick minute cards - add a rub on and maybe some ribbon and it's all done! How special would the card be with a photo taken from your own garden? Maybe I can talk everyone into a trip to the garden centre this afternoon? I am hanging out for a purple rose...anyway, back to the photos...

The first is our Burgundy Iceberg rose

 

The second a David Austin rose - Jubilee Celebration

 

And the third - just because it's pretty (I love blue flowers) - Mum if you're reading this can you tell me what this plant is!! (As is obvious by that comment I am SO not a gardener but do love flowers!)

Most of my scrapping and cardmaking projects I now load on the Scrapsidaisy forum (see side link)  - why not pop over there and share your work with us too?

Baby Page

I haven't scrapped a lot of baby pages but this one came together very easily. My husband says he doesn't like it at all (so that's a bit of a worry) but I quite liked it until he commented..what do you think? It is basically what I call a product page - there's no fancy techniques or designs - just pretty product that (I hope) goes well together and complements the photo! Plus it came together so easily which I always love! As this little man of mine will be 14 next April I figured it's about time I started an album for his 18th!

The products I used...new paper at Scrapsidaisy Karen Foster Animals (too cute), Bella! Accent Alphaz and Me & You white glitter swirl paper, American Crafts Thickers Gift Box and Scrapworks Shimmer Shapes Heart Assortment & buttons from my stash.

Basic Grey Urban Prairie

Here's a card I made this morning using the very pretty Urban Prairie pps, rub ons and letters! The ribbon, brads and Prima flowers are just loose ones from my stash! Hope you like it - I made it for friends who are collecting their 3 week old foster twins this week - I am SO excited for them!

Making Memories FA LA LA Collection

This Limited Release has arrived instore and is SO much fun to play with. Here's 2 cards of the 8 I made quickly this morning - it is so wonderful to have everything matching. More of my cards are on the forum. If you haven't been to the forum yet why not sign up and join in the fun! I am going to send a wonderful Fa La La mini card making pack to the first 5 people who sign up and leave 10 posts - what's to lose?? - pop over now and say HI!

Oh and I must apologise - I had to scan these cards today and they are a little crooked because of the little 3D elements - but you get the idea I hope!

   

 

Baby Naming invitations

A few of you have very kindly asked which invitation my friend chose to use...(see earlier post)

Well...as they say, a picture tells a thousand words! I didn't make them all - my friend did and didn't she do a beautiful job!

SEI Poppy - NEW!

 

I had lots of fun doing this very quick page of my son Jordan - he gets so excited at the moment about everything! I couldn't resist taking of photo of his adorable little face.

The papers are from SEI, journalling square from the Bella! Journalling pad - see post below.

All of the products used are available from scrapsidaisy. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

New Bella! - Me & You Collection

This beautiful new range has arrived at http://www.scrapsidaisy.com and I couldn't resist making a quick card before I had to duck out this morning. Bella! have made card making just so simple with their range of coordinating embellishments and paper.

I used red cardstock, scrap teal patterned paper from my offcuts, Bella! Journalling Spot Pad, Bella! Chipz (words), Bella! Chipz (arrow), Bella! Felt Florals, Bella! gorgeous stitched paper, Bella! Heart to Heart pp (for the "You") and Bella! ric rac. I also added a small peach Making Memories paper flower.

I have a gorgeous friend who I had in mind when making this card - I hope she likes it!

Happy Sunday!

Well I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely relaxing Sunday! It is quite dreary and rainy here so I thought I would treat myself to a few minutes of card making. I used the scraps from my Basic Grey Euphoria paper and some left over alpha stickers I have had for ages (they're from the Cosmo Cricket Little Boys pack). Thank you to Julieann who gave me some brads last week (see I have already used one!). The flowers are paper ones from Prima (Sprites). I hope it inspires you!

 

Last weekend of netball

Well it has been a fabulous first season of netball for Maddie and it's the last day they play tomorrow - a big GALA DAY where they play lots of short games and all get a trophy at the end! Can't wait! As it's the end of the season it is only fitting that our fabulous coach receives a card and a gift! We chose a gift card from the Sports Store as she is an all round sporty type of gal and I have made the card below - I know it's a little blurry - the light was fading so I took it quickly on top of my car outside - very professional (NOT!!!). Anyway, it is a 12" x 6" big enough for all of the darling little Under 8s to write a message and big enough for me to stick the gift card in a holder inside too! Hope she likes it!

I used an old Catnips Cut Out for the "Netball" bit (I matted it up on black to make it pop a bit more), American Crafts chipboard letters for the rest of the greeting, Making Memories gorgeous flowers, a little silver mini brad, flourish stamp, black ink and of course some black white & blue cardstock - it all came together in about 20 mins so I was really happy with that!

Happy weekend to all!
