Happy 21st Emily

Isn't this awesome. This was an order from one of my stamp class ladies. Her daughter (another of my stamping ladies) had her 21st a couple of weeks ago and the mum wanted one of these for all the guests to sign, isn't that a great keepsake.  I haven't made one of these squash books in a very long time so really enjoyed putting it together. Its all black and confetti white cardstock with a wee touch of silver  and a little bit of perfect plum. I used white craft ink to stamp on the black pieces and for now it has  plain black covers. A good space for some photos maybe. There are many sets used on here. I hope the birthday girl liked it. 

The Open sea, for the blokes

I finally have got the have a play with some new goodies. I am so glad we got this set in New Zealand, I also have the DSP that goes with this open sea stamp set and I have so many sea side photos to scrap with it. Anyways, these two cards are for two family members birthdays commin' up. The card on the left has been cased from Deb Ferns, an Australian Demo. Its a nice clean looking card. And then the one to the right I just let loose and played. I also used the new to me smooch spritz. Here I have used the 'Gold Glow' one that kind of gives the card an aged look as well as the sparkle that you can't see here. This stuff is so cool and I have to hold back from putting it on all my cards lol.

Oh I wish.....

....I was on the other side off the world, somewhere nice and warm some place. Oh to dream. Here is one more creation from that wonderful set Artistic Etchings. I had a go at one of those flowers you see everywhere, now flowers are not my thing but I kinda like how simple they are to make like this. I for got to photograph it but the inside of this card has that Eiffel tower stamped on some lighter coloured paper. Its this set that made me think of some where nice and warm hmmmm.

Artistic etchings

My friend came over for a stamping visit last week and because she knows I like this set she always brings it with her. This is not my first play with it, I feel in love with it the very 1st time I played, ooh I think I'm just gonna have to order my own set. This was again using 'embossing resist' and just being totally random. I love my Big Shot lots and lots but am trying for a change to do a few cards with out it. - and its very hard work !
