jeN stampZ


My friend Jennifer purchased a Simply Sent Kit Remembering You which was on special for World Card Making Day - hasn't she done a great job for her first cards "alone"

A heartfelt thanks to my neighbours!!


My neighbours are fantastic & always keep an eye on my place so a BIG THANK YOU from the heart for all your help last weekend (when unfortunately I did have a break in).

Pete told me I was making it too girly so a change of colours was required. I have used the Heartfelt Thanks stampset with Not Quite Navy & Old Olive inks & CS.

Shaving Cream technique


Demo training was fun & rather noisy - I think a few were hyperactive with lack of sleep being up all night creating goodies to swap. Some of the ideas were stupendous.

As well as a general chat we learnt a new technique with shaving cream. It was so easy - to a small pile of shaving cream; we added a few drops of re-inkers & then swirled a piece of cardstock through it & excess cream was wiped off (could even be on a 2nd piece of card). Some spectacular patterns were created. I've just stamped my piece up with the Both Way Blossoms set (which is a hostess gift) - I think it looks rather pretty & original!
