Party Time at Jelly's Place

Wanna come and play? I still have room for a few more. I'm holding my own Stampin' Up! retiring products party today between 2pm and 6pm. If you'd like to come along and grab yourself a bargain please give me a call on 07748 707845 or email me at bluejellystampin@sky.com to let me know what time you can drop in.

We'll be making this gorgeous card below and I'll be demonstrating too.

PLUS for one day only I'll be having a fabulous offer on the Big Shot which you won't want to miss out on! This is an offer only from me for folks coming to my party.

Hope to hear from you later

Pick a petal and a sleepy head

Thought I'd give you a bit of cheeky look at my August card making class. We'll be using the Pick a Petal stamp set and making lots of cards with things that aren't petals! We'll make flowers too, just wanted to show you how very versatile this particular set is.

The class is at 1.30PM on Saturday 27th August at my house in Arnold. The cost of the class is £30 which includes your own Pick a Petal stamp set (worth £26.95 with eleven stamps) and you'll get to make 10 cards too (the insides are also decoarated).

Alternatively you can pay £10 for just the class without the stamp set.Places do need to be booked and paid for by Monday 15th August please.

Next up I thought I'd share a photo of Blake taken this morning. He had about as much get up and go in him as I did - I think we'd happily have stayed in bed and slept all day. Sadly school, work etc all scuppered our plans. Here he is after i'd got him out of bed:

Back tomorrow

Card and Gift Bag

Oops a few days without blogging - bad Jelly. Things have been a little bit upturned in the House of Jelly this week but fear not normal service shall soon resume. Or should I say normal chaos?

James' Gran celebrated her birthday this week so we got her a picture frame a popped a photo of the boys digging sandcastles on the beach in it for her. I made the matching gift bag and card:

Sorry the card is a little blurred, I can't take another photo as the guft has already been given! I've used Crumb Cake card and various scraps of patterned paper along with the Pick a Petal stamp set for the petals and the centre of the flowers. The sentiment is Heard from the Heart. I have loads of these natural looking gift bags and like to decorate them up to match the cards.

I'm busy now planning my next all day class which will have a Christmas theme, don't worry though, it's not until September!

A late post and a new addition to the family

Sorry for being such a late poster today. The day has flown by. My afternoon has been filled with fun with Fluff and Sweet Cheeks - our boys are learning to share which is novel! So I haven't had time to sit down and create so whilst washing up I planned a card in my head and then nipped up to the room of craft to create it! It's not disimilar to one I've made before:

The card is River Rock stamped with a sentiment from Heard From the Heart in Always Artichoke. I've stamped the flower in the same ink on to Springtime Vintage DSP using Pick a Petal and then cut out and stuck down. Simples. Just managed to get a good enough photo as it's a bit dull at the moment, didn't even have time to get out the light box!

So, on to the new addition to our family. It was one of those unplanned events....you know how it is. Jelly goes to charity fashion show, Jelly pays £1 to enter the 'guess the birthday of the soft toy' competition and goes and wins it. Here's Stunt Baby with his new pal Boofle:

Not such a fabulous shot of Boofle but you can see he's much bigger than Blake! He sat in the back seat of the car coming home last night and we strapped him in with the seat belt! The plan was to hide Boofle until Blake's second birthday as that was the date I put down for the competition. So i hid the 'small' bear in my wardrobe last night. Of course Zac was straight in there this morning whilst I was in the shower. All I heard was 'Mummy - massive toy in the door'. Need to think about better hiding places for future.

Pick a Petal

A quick post from me today as I'm absolutely exhausted. Not as you might be thinking as a result of us actually going out last night. Although the meal was very lovely and it was great to be out, when we got home Blake started with a temperature again and this time we couldn't bring it down. He was at 39.6 most of the night and although it's down a bit this morning to 38.7 he's still quite unwell. It was one of those nights where we couldn't quite decide if we should go to A&E or not, so we're off to the Drs soon to see what can be done to help my little fella get some rest, he's not slept and won't eat either now.

So my card for today is a bit iffy to post as my Mum checks my blog (not this week whilst she's here!) but it's her Mother's Day card:

I've used Crumb Cake card, and stamped the petals from Pick A Petal on to some Subtles DSP before cutting out and sticking down. To get the Occasional Greetings  sentiment light blue, I inked up the stamp with Tempting Turquoise ink and then Whisper White on top - easy enough to clean up the white ink pad afterwards! I've decorated the inside too:

Got to go, hope to be back tomorrow with better news about Blake.
