Sneak Peak Humphrey Collection

Hi sorry I have not been around for a few days but I have been away visiting some friends in Torquay, it was a lovely break and really enjoyed it. But now down to something that I know you have all been waiting for the new realease from Crafters Companion of the Humphrey Collection. Wow what can I say this is one of the best yet, I remember crossing stitching this little chap many moons ago and he is just as cute today as he was then.

The Humphrey Collection will be Pick of the Day on Ideal World with the first show at 9pm on Tuesday 24th May.  As usual with Crafters Companion this is  fabulous collection of 2 CDs  and stamps.The Dt will be showing sneak peeks everyday until the release so please pop over and visit their blogs to see some amazing creations.

Well here is my first sneak peak, thought I would do a gift first of all rather than a card.

Diamonds and Lace

Today I thought that I would share with you the beautiful images from the new Debbi Moore  CD Diamonds and Lace. I think that this is one of Debbi's best CD yet and there is so much on there is it hard to know where to start. I have made this star card using some of the images from the CD, hope you like it.

Triple Easel Card

Morning all well it looks like its going to be another lovely sunny day. Sooo excited my new ecraft machine arrived yesterday so I am going to play with that today, had a quick go and I am really impressed. I thought that I would share with you a card that I have made for my MIL for her birthday. If you would like instructions how to make this just go over to Crafters Companion New and Views and you will find the instructions .

Something different

Morning all well nearly the start of another Bank Holiday weekend, lets hope that the weather is as nice as the last one. I thought that today I would share with you something that I saw on You Tube and decided to have a go as it was so unusual and a bit different, and certainly great for anyone girly.

This is such a cute card, inside there is a lipstick,makeup compact,mobile phone, sun glasses in a case, keys and a wallet which holds a driving license credit cards and a coupon. It was such fun to make.

So I have been given this beautiful Lauretta image and I had such fun working with it, there were so many things you could use if for I struggled to decide which one to use.

Easter Basket

Morning all on this beautiful sunny morning, it always makes you wake up with a smile when the sun is shining. Today I thought I would share with you this beautiful basket which I found on an amazing blog, Mim Lille http://egenblogg-rantho.blogspot.com/2010/11/tutorial-pa-hy-gave-box.html, just click this link and it will take you straight to the tutorial. I made this into an Easter box using papers from the Crafters Companion CD Everyday and added some small chocolate eggs, but this projuect would be lovely for any occasion.
