Oh how I love that SU grosgrain Ribbon!!

Nearly every card I make has ribbon on it in some form or another. Why is that?

Is it because of SU colour co-ordination?

There is always the right colour, and it always works?

There is no time wasted on searching for the exact colour?

Or is it that when I have a whole reel containing over 9m,

I dare to use some!!!?

Another sneaky peak - stamp and DP - and a grosgrain bow! And of course, the hint of dazzling diamonds glitter. This was so easy, as the stamp does all the hard work. I just used my SU markers to colour the flowers and leaves, Regal rose and Old olive, mounted on Old olive c/s and Regal rose textured c/s.

More will be revealed very, very soon.....

Thanks for looking

A Rose is a Rose

What a fantastic stamp set! Although one of the more expensive
stamp sets in the brochure, this set is worth every penny!
When using this set, it is essential to have a Stamp-a-ma-Jig to be able to position the separate stamps in exactly the right place that gives such a wonderful image.
Inspired by Monica's blog, My Many many passions......, my dear
friend Carri and I , sat down one evening and played with this stamp set and made our own version of the 'Trinket Box'.
If you know Carri, hers will always be the blue version of any project!!
Thank you for the tip, Monica, for the decorative corners on the box. I have wondered for ages as to how these were done - perhaps a special corner edger - but yet another 'claim to fame' for the Scallop border punch. And so easy!

Thanks for looking,

and thanks for sharing Monica.

Scroll down for a few more ideas of what's inside!

Just a few quick makes from the training session at Coventry last week. Aren't they so cute!

It was lovely to meet so many demos , and take part in a card swap with these very talented ladies. I was so inspired that all I've wanted to do is make cards using the new goodies.

I'll probably be posting a few more over the coming days (time permitting!).

So keep dropping in and something may just

catch your eye!

Card swap - late again!

When I decide to join a card swap, why is it that other important things decide to crop up at exactly the same time? Here's the 10 cards which should have been with Dawn by 28th and I was still actually making them on 29th! My mojo went astray and I just couldn't decide what to make.
So kill TWO birds with ONE stone - a sneak preview of some of the Mini goodies (which will be available to buy from 1st April), a little DP and ribbon.

And here are all 10 of them - completed

and posted yesterday!
