You Rock! Birthday Card



Morning everyone!

I made this card very quickly last night for Adele to give to her new boyfriend
as it was his birthday.
Kids! they never give you any notice, it's I need it now!
So I had twenty mins to throw it together.

I kept to black, white and a bit of silver.
The stamp set comes from Inkadinkadoo
98693 Rock Star.

Got to run, prep in for more classes.

Ruby Wedding Card!




A Ruby Wedding card made from the Robert Addams CD called Roses.
I have used this CD time and again, I have to say it has paid for it's self which is great!
Everybody loves roses!
The nice thing about this CD is it is not difficult to cut the decoupage sheet.
I love it!

NEC!!

My day at the NEC yesterday was fantastic!
We all had a great day, saw lots of demonstations so I picked up a few ideas.
As usual spent to much but hey you can't take it with you!
I don't drink or smoke so this is my pleasure and I am pleased to say
that I never used my plastic little friend. I was tempted at one bit, it was a new machine
like the craft robo which connects to the computer and can cut chip board but it was over £400,
I thought no way, I have a Cricut Expression and I will stick with that.

This is what I bought!
8 pots shimmering iridescent watercolour paints
pallete of pearlescent watercolours
3D crystal lacquers
labels one nestabilities
6 sheets of unmounted stamps
4 woodmounted stamps

and the following I did not photograph!
5 sheets of Penny Black stickers
7 rolls of the red backed doublesided tape
5 tubes of photo glue
box of card
3 magazines
templates
and a craft mat for heat embossing which protects your work surface.

see you tomorrow!
