A bygone era

I had a lovely box of  Pink Orchid toiletries for my birthday. As I opened the box I was surprise to see that there was a lovely pink and gold foiled piece of card at the back which was too good to waste. The square at the bottom of the card was cut from the soap box. The 'Pictorial review fashion book' paper is from some ephemera that I bought in a pack some time ago. I decided to finish the card with some gold foil strips and a Best Wishes sticker.

First card using shapes from Scan n Cut

Please click here for a chance to win a 2-day ticket for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace 20-21 September

Yesterday I plugged in my new Scan n Cut that had just been delivered and tried out a few basic shapes that are in the memory. This is my first card using something that was cut on the machine. I have to giggle to myself really because the shapes I chose to make are ones that I could have done anyway with nestie labels dies that I've got - lol! But I had to make a start somewhere and this seemed an easy option.

I stamped on to the smallest shape with part of the Penny Black 'letters and flowers' inked with fired brick distress ink and then used the ink to brush the edges of the shapes.

The background of the card is a piece of pearlised embossed paper that was left from a previous card - a large snippet, but a snippet nevertheless, so an opportunity to join playmates at Pixie's snippets playground again. This was also brushed with fired brick distress ink.

I found up a snippet of some gloss card that had been coloured with alcohol inks ages ago - about time it was used! - wrapped around with some lovely organza ribbon (bought a whole big roll of this some time ago when I needed to match up with a wedding card I was making - I think the roll will last forever!) The birthday sentiment was lightly brushed with the distress ink.

This is for:

Pixie's snippets week 140

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 274

Please click here for a chance to win a 2-day ticket for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace 20-21 September

It is ages and ages since I've linked to WOYWW and I've missed having a nose at everyone else's workdesks, although, admittedly I do 'see' quite a few WOYWWer in my wanders through blogland. If you don't know what I'm talking about have a click on WOYWW 274, have a nose around ... and more importantly, share a photo or two of your workspace for others to visit.

I've often thought of 'returning to the fold', so to speak ... and at last, here I am!!

I'm excited to show you my workspace, because a big parcel arrived yesterday - I wonder if you can spot what was in it?

Well, I've had to move my cricut to the back of the left where I sit, my eBosser and some other things have been dumped there for the time being:

Because I needed to make room for my new toy - the Brother Scan n Cut. I powered it up today and cut a few shapes - that's as far as I've got.

Here's the new toy in all its glory!

Now I have a dilemma. I have lots of cards to make (I'm now on lots of Design Teams, which is wonderful, but does mean that I need to keep up with getting things done. Do I get ahead with all those commitments, so that I can then play with the new toy ... or do I play with the new toy and then get everything done in a hurry after that. And, the big thing that I've needed to do for ages and need to do even more now is have a sort out!! Having bought a new unit a few months ago housing quite a number of Really Useful Boxes, I promised myself that I would have a good sort out ... it hasn't happened yet. Those who know me well, know that I like to be organised, so I do need this sort out. Watch this space ... you never know, I might be able to come back next week and show that the sort out is in progress.

Update: If anyone's interested I've just made a card using some cuts from the Scan n Cut - it's here if you'd like a look.

CASology challenge 111 guest: under

Please click here for a chance to win a 2-day ticket for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace 20-21 September

I used Paper Pretties 'brew your coffee' digital image (supplied by Paper Pretties, who are the sponsors for the challenge), colouring with spectrum noir pens, tearing around the card and brushing with a mixture of tea dye and brown corduroy distress inks. I matted this on to a piece of kraft card that had been brushed with brown corduroy to show up the texture and this was then matted on to a kraft card blank. A few felt buttons from Poundland were added.

Please click on the challenge link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team - and we would love you to choose a line of 3 to use on a Christmas creation and join in with your entries.

I chose the left colum down: ribbon snowflake and silver, although I also have glitter and trees on my card.  The background, topper and sentiment are all from Hunkydory's moonlight Christmas. The lovely organza and glitter ribbon with the snowflakes was part of a prize I won a while back - this is the first time I've used any of it.

Trifold card

Please click here for a chance to win a 2-day ticket for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace 20-21 September

This is a trifold card made with a sparkly stardream deep blue card blank and Hunkydory 'moonlight Christmas' card and elements.

The background for each of the three parts of the card was originally one A4 picture, so it flows from the front panel into the middle and then the back - harder to show on here than irl.

CHNC challenge 192: people matter

Please click here for a chance to win a 2-day ticket for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace 20-21 September

The theme  for CHNC challenge 192 for this week is 'people matter' - I'd like to see people on your Christmas creations - at least one person (can be child or adult, but must be human!) I'd love to see your entries there - and this week there are four prizes to be won by randomly chosen winners.

For my two cards I've used card, toppers and sentiments from a Hunkydory Christmas choir set, part of their Traditional Christmas range. The background card was one piece, but I thought it was too good to fold in half, so I added each half to A5 card blanks. The music strip down the side of each card was offcut from the waste around the die cut toppers etc.

The sentiment on the left hand card says 'Christmas Blessings' and the one on the right says 'Wishing you Peace and Love this Christmas time'.

This is my design card for Completely Christmas challenge 27, which is 'anything goes' - as long as it's Christmas, of course. Please click the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and we hope you will join in with your own entries.

I created this card digitally using an iPad background and superimposing Lacy Sunshine's 'Christmas boo' (kindly supplied by the sponsor), which I had coloured digitally in Microsoft Paint and faded around the edges. This clean and simple card was then finished with the digitally produced sentiment.

This is also for:
