Stamp with us challenge

What a lovely day I thought I'd put some bedding plants in, I know it's still a little early but I decided to risk it. That was until I tried to bend down, I'm aching everywhere from all the decorating. I moved a couple of plants round to fill some gaps and I've given up. I now officially am going to have a crafting, napping, relaxing day.

Here's the first of my craft catch ups. This weeks challenge at Stamp with Us is to make a birthday card, here's mine.

I used all Stampin Up products:

Ink pads - Bashful Blue & Basic Black
Stamp Sets - Pocket Silhouettes & Happy Everything
Ribbon - Whisper White Grosgrain
Card - Whisper White & Real Red
Paper - 12X12 Summer Picnic (I used both sides)
Punches - 13/8" & 11/4" circles

with this card.

Congrats on being in the Fave Five. I like how fresh and bright your card is. And I know from experience that stamping onto ribbon isn't as easy as it seems. Well done. Sara xx

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout. Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking. I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic. Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued
