Truly, Madly, Deeply

Are you in love with patterned papers too?

I have a serious addiction! I hoard papers because they are beautiful. They are often left for months because I can't bear to cut them! I am seeking help. LOL.

Bo Bunny have been a serious contributing factor to my problem - their papers are just so wonderful. I've had these Flirty collection papers for ages - aren't they gorgeous?



The Flirty Birds have been used as is almost, except the bird's tail has be cut out to overlay the heart paper.



Collect a few little embellishments and ribbon - check out these cute pins from Maya Road. There are other beautiful chipboard pieces and flowers in there too!



Add a cute bird cage (because one should always include some sort of home for the birds). This one is from We R Memory Keepers and are the best bargain at just 99c!


Finally, top off with a couple of cute kids goofing around!

I've also been working on some stuff for Scrapbook Sisters this week. Hopefully, I'll get all of them done, then I can share. You still have time to book onto Karen's On-line class. The kit for this gorgeous project can be found here.

Thanks for dropping by.

Remember me?

I know it's been ages!

We went on holiday to Cornwall for a couple of weeks. It was beautiful. We had great weather which meant we were able to get about and visit loads of pretty villages and beaches. I've really fallen in love with the area. We stayed in Marazion which was perfect to sight-seeing.

Anyway, I have been busy since I got back with projects and classes although I can't share them all with you now.

I will leave you with a card I did to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary.



I had a lovely play with all my lovely Tim Holtz Distress inks and a great mask.



Flowers are Prima of course as well as the borders and corner. The heart is Stampendous from Scrapbook Sisters (thank you!).



The butterfly stamp is K&Co stamped onto acetate and decorated with Stickles. The border stamps are Prima (with mitred corners of course).




The card opens out to include some photos of the milestones in our relationship - we have had an action-packed, wonderful decade! We got married in the Dominican Republic so our wedding photos are quite tropical!



Although the photo covers most of the background, it is inked, masked and stamped throughout.  A litle extra stamping and embellishments here and there just because.



We got married on 13th August and and Jacob was born on the 13th too.  I found bits of patterned paper and vintage papers with the number 13 on - luck for some!

I'm working on some projects for Scrapbook Sisters at the moment. I see that they have a fabulous on-line class featuring a lovely mini-book on a stand project by Karen. The great thing is that you can get the kit and take the class in your own time. Check it out here - it's a bargain at £10!

I'll share some more projects later in the week - promise!
