April - Treasure Those Memories

Apologies, I've not been very well this week.  I planned to spend today crafting as my family had all gone to Alton Towers, but didn't feel up to it.  So, I have had to use a project I completed over Christmas.

My amazing mum and her partner were away over Christmas, in Barbados (lucky things!).  So, as a Christmas present I framed a scrapbook page from the last time they went.  They now have it in pride of place in their living room, something to remind them until their next visit.
Although  the background cardstock is not Stampin' Up! I'd had it for a while and really liked it.  Everything else used was Stampin' Up! though.  I decided to stick with a circular theme, even die cutting the photos.  My mum was chuffed that they had a Woolworths over there, I very nearly added a photo of a Woolworths bag, but changed my mind.


Ingredients

Cardstock:      Tranquil Tide
                        Lemon Lime Twist
                        Marina Mist
                        Flirty Flamingo
                        Silver glitter cardstock (non SU)

Dies:      Large Letters
              Stitched Shapes

Embellishments:   Clear Faceted Gems

Frame from Hobbycraft


I had intended to start a present for a friend's daughter who is having her first child soon.  A mini album to celebrate all the baby's birthdays up to 21.  They will just need to add photos.  Hopefully, I'll get started on that soon, then I'll be posting that too.

I'm the last in the hop, it's only a small hop this month, if you didn't start at the beginning follow the link

Jem's Blog Hop - February

February - Love! This month's blog hop has to be Love!  I've not been too good this month and have hardly done any crafting.  I almost pulled out of this hop, but then thought it will force me to craft, which may bring back my enthusiasm.  I need to make a card for my amazing hubby anyway, so at least it gets that done nice and early. I think I'm the first in the hop this month, so no previous hopper to link in.  But, in case you're hopping backward, here's the link for Julie:   https://createhandmadehappiness.blogspot.co.uk/... This year I decided to go for a simple card for Valentine's Day, with white on white.  I think it looks classy. I used Falling Petals embossing folder on Whisper White cardstock, mounted onto a Whisper White card base.  I then used the sentiment - 'You're My Valentine Every Single Day' from the Sure Do Love You stampset, finishing with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  Simple and elegant!

Jem's January Blog Hop - New Catalogue! (Spring/Summer) Happy New Year everyone.  Hope you all had a great Christmas. You should be joining me from Sarah's blog.  If you missed it or are hopping backwards, use the following link: https://theragbagbadger.blogspot.co.uk/... I've made a few resolutions this year, one of which is Stampin' Up! related. I'm planning to Blog more and try to evolve from a Hobby demo to running a small business. I only pre-ordered one bundle from the Spring/Summer catalogue, but I love it's versatility.  I ordered the Sure Do Love You stamp set and Lots to Love framelits.  I decided to go with the obvious Valentine's creations, although I stayed away from cards. I made the box first using the box die and 'Powder Pink' cardstock, I then cut out an aperture using the heart die.  Next I stamped the 'Sure Do Love You' using 'Berry Burst' ink and die cut that, attaching it to th

Jem's Blog Hop - May - 'Sad to See You Go!' & 'So Glad You're Staying!'

May - 'Sad to See You Go' and 'So Glad You're Staying' What an exciting month for SU demonstrators and customers.  Colour revamp, new catalogue with new products and new-style ink pads. Some of my favourites are staying, thankfully!  But, I'm so disappointed that some are leaving.  take a look at the pre-order suite, I'm expecting mine soon, can't wait to have a play!  Also, check the list of retiring products as they are only around until the end of this month, they are not guaranteed to be in stock either, so be quick.  Don't forget you can still order from the Spring/Summer catalogue until the end of this month too. 'Sad to See You Go' I placed all my retiring items in a basket, and can't believe how much I have.  There are lots that I'll miss.  Some I haven't even had much opportunity to play with. I'm really sad to see the Myths and Magic suite retiring.  I know it's not been around long, but
