Scrapbook Magazine

I'm in print! 

I was invited to do the Budget Challenge in this month's Scrapbook Magazine, three layouts for £10.  

I must admit these were submitted some months ago so it was a lovely surprise to see them when I opened up the magazine to browse.

For all three layouts I used Echo Park Sweet Summertime paper and American Crafts cardstock from Sarah's Cards. My butterfly punch got a some usage - no surprises there!

I do now recall that all three layouts are of Mitchell... sorry Elliott!  

Chicken Soup - Recipe 41

So sweet!

This week's inspirational picture is truly yummy, how wonderful would it be to have all these sweetie jars ...



I decided to go with the picture totally and decorate my own jar. 

Inside is rhubard and custards - remember those? 

I used Spellbinders™  Labels Four die template and a Waltzing Mouse Rescue Remedies stamp - these are brilliant as they fit the die templates perfectly.

I'm not sure this jar will remain full for long....

Happy creating.

Flourishes Blog Hop

Super excited today - it's a blog hop! 

Flourishes has teamed up with Spellbinders Paper Arts to show off some amazing stamps that match up with Spellbinders die templates. Country Charm Labels and Country Charm Borders.

Tags and labels are so popular right now - the stamps consist of three labels that coordinate perfectly with Spellbinders Grommet Tags (S4-322).  

Also, there are 6 beautiful sentiments and 4 accent stamps to dress up your labels.

  Paired with Flourishes Country Charm Borders you have the perfect set.

I put the stamps to use and decided to use a combination of border, label, sentiment and some flower accents.  Layered with Labels Eighteen it was simplicity to make and effective.

So let's get blog hopping.....

Wedding Notebook

There's nothing quite like a wedding and this weekend my boss Sarah-Marie will be getting married in Wales.  To mark the occasion I decided to make a little Wedding Notebook for her.

I thought after the wedding it might be nice for her to jot down some memories of the day.

I used the following Spellbinders™ die templates - Labels One Small, Fancy Tags, Grand Labels One and a combination of Fancy Pants and Anna Griffin papers.



I wish her a wonderful day, a happy future and sunny weather!



Chicken Soup - Recipe #40

Chicken Soup time again - goodness Fridays come around so quickly!

This week the inspirational picture is clean crisp hanging white plates with baby blue bows.

And my take on the picture is this card....

A simple design but I thought it mirrored the plates well.

I used the following Spellbinders dies - S4-308 Labels One Small and S4-316 Heart Circles.

Remember to visit Chicken Soup to join in and enjoy being inspired!
