Trendy Trees Fabric Pop Up Bins

Do you know one of my favourite stamp sets when I first discovered Stampin' Up! was Trendy Trees (wish I still had it). So imagine my delight when I was asked to make four of my fabric desk tidies with tree fabric. I knew just the right fabric as I've  used it before on other projects and it really reminds me of the stamp set.

Here are the first two - Stampin' Up! fans may recognise the retired ribbon!

And the next two - only one change and I fancied using a different colour ribbon.

Here they are all together with one folded down with the elastic so you can see how easy they are to store or transport to your craft events.  Mind you I am sure they could have other uses. What would you use one for?

These are available to order (UK only) in your choice of fabric theme and colours. Just email me at:

Blue Jelly Sew n So

It's the last day of school today before the half term break and both my boys are certainly ready for it, they were both struggling to get up this morning and Blake will be late home as the infant school are having a disco when the day ends. Hopefully that means a little lie in for me in the morning....nah, who am I trying to kid, my boys have no concept of a sleep in. Maybe we'll have a cosy snuggle family day instead, it's been a while since all of us were home for a day together.

Enjoy your weekend.

Boy does Stampin

I've had a fabulous day today. This morning I dropped Zac off at pre-school and Blake went to his Grandparents leaving me home alone for a whole two hours! I decided to have a rest and just popped my feet up and watched some telly off the planner!

Of course it didn't last as I went to pick Zac up and after lunch we had some quality crafting time together. First here are my creations....

I haven't used Trendy Trees stamp set in ages and I love it so much. Here it is using Early Espresso, Regal Rose and Wild Wasabi. This isn't one of the suggested combos on the Colour Coach so I'm certainly going to pop it on one of the blank rows as one of my new favourites! Here are the cards individually:

The patterned paper I've used are the coordinating ones from the Designer Series Paper Stacks - Neutrals, Brights and Subtles.

I should show you how much fun Zac had when I let him loose with my stamps, inks and punches!

He sat there for over an hour happily stamping away but now he's had enough and is sat watching Scooby Doo! I'm off to join him now and enjoy a cuddle and admire his hair as I'm taking him for a haircut tomorrow afternoon -eeeek!

A Blue Monster Mummy

Our challenge at Cupcake this week is actually for two weeks and the theme has been chosen by moi - it's 'thank you'.  I'm a very naughty Cupcake as not only did I forget to blog my cards yesterday, I also forgot to upload them to the team blog - so apologies to my fellow cupcakes!

Zac has become a bit of a fan of the Disney film Monsters Inc (which is fine by me as I love it too) and has developed a bit of a thing for blue monsters. Every day he goes behind the sofa and comes out telling me about the 'blue monster, Mummy - he's my friend'. So I had a stack of thank you cards to make for all the lovely gifts Zac got for his birthday and thought it would be fitting to feature blue monsters! Not quite James P Sullivan but he's happy enough with them!

I've stamped the monsters on to whisper white card and water coloured them using the aqua brush and Pacific Point blue ink - by pushing the ink pad together to get ink in the lid and using that as my pallette.

The patterned paper is from the Celebrations stack. I've used a sentiment from Trendy Trees stamp set, the monster is from Make a Monster and I've aslo used the Word Window and Modern label punches.

And for a bit of fun, here's me with the real James P Sullivan himself!!

When the film came out I worked at one of the companies who sponsored the film and was lucky enough to go to the film premiere and the after show party too. I can tell you, this monster may look cute, but he'd definately been drinking beer and eating something with garlic in!! It's not such a good photo as it's been scanned in but it makes me giggle every time I look at it. Mainly 'cos I look so much younger!!!
