Oscar winning place cards

This week I got a phone call from my brother. He, his partner and some friends are having a Come Dine With Me dinner party. They won't be on TV, it's just amongst the three couples. He asked if I could make him some place cards for when it's his turn. The theme is a night at the Oscars, so I put my thinking cap on and remembered seeing something when I was blog hopping that may be suitable. It was a card made using the Cricut, so off I went surfing the blogs again and found the card again, this one. The colours Robin & Jo are using will be black, white, silver and gold, this is what I came up with. I'm really pleased and I'm just waiting to hear if this is what they want.I used the Home Decor and Plantin Schoolbook cartridges along with the design studio software. This is now making me think about Christmas place cards with my new Christmas cartridge.



The votes are in and I can announce, the place cards won. Here they all are.

This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use ...

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 ...

You are Here

I have had quite a productive few weeks on the scrapbooking front, there is nothing like a retreat followed closely by national Scrapbooking Day and a few challenges that get your creativity going. I mentioned previously that I was going to Scrapstars and as usual it didn't fail to deliver, it was great to meet up and catch up with everybody. Tracee Provis was one of the teachers, she is such fun and this was one of the layouts she taught.  I loved the fun colours and it was a great opportunity for me to scrap a photo from 37 years ago and my first girls holiday to Jersey. It was also my best friends birthday this week and a milestone birthday deserves a special card. She loves cakes, her garden and bling, luckily I got all of them onto her card.
