Bermuda Clockworks

Hiya peeps!
Do you have stamps in your stash that you haven't used yet? Go on, admit it, you know you have! Well I have a card here using one such set...

This is the fabby Clockworks set that I bought kind of on a whim, and up until now I couldn't figure out how to use it!

The background Bermuda Bay panel is embossed using the Houndstooth Embossing Folder. The DSP is High Tide from the Spring/Summer catalogue.

Keiran gave me his view on this card...'I like the design of the card but I don't like the compass because it's not got any colour' Oh well, can't please everyone!

Care for those in need

Watch the news. Pray for someone or something you've seen on it. 

There is always such bad news so I think this is a worthwhile thing to do!

Right...work, gym, film night at school...rock 'n roll!! Have a fabby Friday!

A truly altered notebook

Good morning! 

Here is a notebook that I really have altered! I have not just decorated the cover, I have totally changed it!

This particular notepad had a plastic cover on it, which I was just going to decorate by covering with some Kraft card and embellishment. But as I was doing that, I thought I would try going a step further.

After replacing the cover, I used some This 'n That DSP, Chalk Talk Framelits and This 'n That Washi Tape. I embossed the panel with the Houndstooth EF and finished with some Candy Dots.

I am entering this into the challenge at Sunday Stamps this week, where they have this sketch...

Supplies

Designer Paper - This 'n That

Embossing - Houndstooth EF

Stamp - Oh, Hello

Framelits - Chalk Talk

Other - This 'n That Washi Tape, Candy Dots

You can buy all of these products through my online store (click the link in my sidebar).

I will be back either later today or tomorrow to show you how to change the cover on these books quite easily!

I have the school run, the gym and some stained glass to make for church decorations today. Hope you have a fabby Wednesday!

Ties for the modern man!

Jen and I had a debate yesterday, during our craft session, about whether or not I should use pink on ties, on a card, for a man. I said that men do wear pink ties, she thought it looked girly! I have, however, stamped a pink tie! I like it and Keiran's Dad used to wear pink ties all the time. Hmmm...maybe that's why it didn't work out... lol!

Anyway, here is the (offending) card! ;)

I used my newish Houndstooth and Stripes embossing folders for some texture, and cut the sentiment out using the small Framelit from the Apothecary Accents set for some shape.

Supplies

Cardstock - Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade (retired), Bashful Blue (retiring)

Stamps - Best Dad Ever, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Inks - Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Bashful Blue, Night Of Navy

Framelits - Apothecary Accents

Embossing Folders - Stripes, Houndstooth
