More from my all day class

I forgot to show you some more of the projects the ladies made at my all day class at the start of this month! My favourite set uses the beautiful Ornate Blossom stamp, Sincere Salutations and the gorgeous Whisper White Note Cards. I love these so much, you get a set of 20 Note Cards and 20 envelopes in a pack for £6.75. So as well as having the lovely smooth card to stamp on, you get the equally smooth envelopes too.

I stamped the Blossom on the card and again on a piece of Whisper White card, cut out the centre and layered it above the first one in a different colour. I also stamped the envelopes with the smaller image from Ornate Flowers. I love that we have the same image in different sizes. Here's one of the cards:

 

I've been busy this weekend doing a few more bits in my craft room. I'm at the stage now where it's ready to paint, I just can't decide what colour to go for, I'm fed up of magnolia! Once it's all finished I'll share some photos with you.

A day at the beach

Whilst away I've managed to squeeze in a spot of crafting. It's the latest I've joined in with Less is More but I'm having to pay for the internet by the day and it's a bit pricey! Anyway, the theme this week is monochrome and here's my card:

 

I used A,ways Artichoke and Certainly Celery along with Ornate Flowers and Ornate Blossoms stamp sets. Only a quickie explanation as got to bath the boys in a mo. So for all of you who had to go to work today..........

Here is Blake having his first ever paddle in the sea!

Lost my mans pants!

Oh my word - just how windy is it today?

This is how windy it here.....I duly like a good wife did a load of hubby's washing first thing this morning, taking note of his subtle hints 'not sure my black shorts are clean for badminton tonight, or my favourite top...'. So, on the case - washing done. Washing hung out to dry in the breeze and sun. Busy Mummy went about some more housework and then went to collect the biggest monkey from pre-school. Said busy Mummu set about plating up cheeky cheese burger lunch to the crys of laughter from the biggest monkey 'Mummy - Daddy's pants have gone next door'. Ahem, not too embarassing then having to tap knock on neighbours door to ask permission to go in their garden and retrieve my hubby's pants and a couple of t-shirts!

Anyway, on to a card for the day. I've had a play with Ornate Flowers stamp set and the co-ordinating Greenhouse Gala Designer Papers:

Just for a change I've used Crumb Cake card for my base and added some lovely patterned paper before rounding off the corners with the corner rounder punch - another firm favourite of mine. Next a strip of ribbon and a bow using the Marina Mist Grosgrain Ribbon and erm - no stamping on the front! I cut out a flower from the patterned paper, stuck it down with dimensionals and then added another layer too:

Then inside I've used the Ornate Flowers stamp to keep a co-ordinated look to the card.

I daren't hang the rest of the washing out now in case I end up red faced and round my neighbours house again!
