To help the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake, Stampin' Up! will be donating £1 from every sale of the Greenhouse Garden (113824 - £22.95) stamp set to the American Red Cross' International Response Fund from now until 28th February.

Please help this worthy cause and contact me to purchase your stamp set today.

This little box is a total case from Andrea Walford's blog. I'd had a really busy weekend a couple of weeks ago and just needed to make something! The only thing I have done differently is use the heart stamp on the kraft card at the front. I have put some love hearts in mine for hubby, he loves them!
Again the stamps are Love you much and choc chip, real red and kraft card...they go so well togrther!

This is another card, same colourway and stamps as above with some ruby red dsp from the little hostess pads. The label is a svg file from Heather M.

Ollie had a better night last night and we all got some sleep...the wonders of piriton! Hes got a spot right on his lower eyelid though and it looks really sore, bless him.

I have been working on my next class projects so will post those pictures soon.

Little book of treats.

I saw these on Michelle Lasts blog a little while ago (thank you!) and after watching her video tutorial I thought I would have a go. They are really simple and so cute.. I have made 5, 3 for my kids and 2 for my sisters kids. Inside they house little packs of love hearts in cello bags. The pink ones are pixie pink and kaleidoscope dsp and the stamp set is of course love you much. These are the ones for the boys turned upside down. The blue card is tempting turquoise and I can t remeber what the dsp is as it was an oddment (sorry)
Anyway more treats tomorrow if i get chance!

A little bit of love

So this is my card for hubby for valentines day. Its a stair step fold card using the love you much stamp set, kraft and real red card and ribbon. Had a great time distressing the edges!

My little one has now got the chicken spots! Its been going around nursery for a while, but I had hoped he would wait until the holidays. My sis is going to look after him for me ... shes a star! Thanks chick xx

I have more valentine treats to share (if I get time to blog lol!) later in the week.

Flight of the butterfly class

Hi peeps! This is what we are making in my next class on Saturday.
We are using Stampin' Up! Flight of the butterfly stamp set to stamp a card, a candle and Lauren's new shutterfly box template to make the gift box.
I had great fun with this set and it is one of my favourites as is the design paper which is bella bleu and goes beautifully with the kraft cardstock.
If your interested in participating in one of my classes email me at inkysmudges@sky.com for more information.
Thanks for looking ttfn x

How cold!

A little scallop envelope treat boxe and a card holder for you to look at today :)
The scallop envelope is another svg template from Dan 99.
Been browsing some fab blogs this week and have seen these made on Patti Lee' s blog using the big shot die.
She has some super projects with tutorials for you to follow! What a fab lady:) Thank you.
On both projects I have used the Love you much stamp set and on the box of cards I've used the kaleidoscope dsp.

Its been so cold here today and snowing all day I've had extra jumpers on! This is my little Bella enjoying the snow this morning she and Holly had great fun jumping around in it.

Back to work tomorrow Jamie still not better but safe enough now to go to my mums. Oh got to get up sooo early ... and drive on all that ice :(

Hellooo!

I'm still here! Just I think. After the busy and not so busy Christmas I went back to work for a couple of days and then my middle son decided to become poorly!
They have treated him for swine flu and now hes got really bad impetigo! Then on Friday little son decided to fall off the breakfast bar stool, banged his head and had a nose bleed! I went into panic mode, nearly fainted before sitting down and sorting myself and him out... it never rains here it pours lol! Big thanks to my mum, dad and hubby I don't know what I'd do without you all :)
Anyway Sale-a-bration has arrived and the sentiment on this matchbox (SVG file from Dan 99) is from a super set called whimsical words. You can get this set (or have a choice of 3 others) with an order over £45. The stamps used on it are from the Love you much set. I filled it with a couple of covered chocs.
I have been preparing for a new class- Date- Saturday January 23rd 2-5pm. We are going to use Laurens new shutterfly box template, stamp on a candle and a card using our Flight of the butterfly stamp set. Will post pictures when they're ready.
Right I think I've just got enogh time to bake a cake before Ollie gets home.
