Twisted easel Love card

Good morning everyone
It's Saturday so that means we have a new challenge at Totally Gorjuss. Any ideas what the theme is?
LOVE!!!!!!! Our sponsor is Crafters Companion.
I have made a twisted easel card. I have used my dotty paper ( again!). The heart was cut out with Nesties, I stamped a script over the top and then edged it with Fired Brick Distress Inks.
The smaller hearts are Sizzix die cut, embossed and distressed.I made a double bow

 

The flower was edged with Fired Brick Distress ink.

 

This is a Sizzix Tim Holtz embossed image

I hope you like my card. 

Thank you for taking the time to viasit and comment

Hugs sarah

I have been AWOL!!!!! and Emma is back and well

Hi everyone
Sorry  haven't been around to leave a post or comment on your lovely blogs but remember the internet problem I told you about a month ago? It happened again!!!! All of a sudden they blocked us again and it has been really
difficult getting switched on again. I hope that we are sorted for good now.
We picked Emma and her friend up from the airport....bad timing....the England match was on....Good thing her Dad loves her!!!!  She is much better now ( she had tonsillitis while she was away). She looks well and tanned and like she has lost weight too. She liked the scrapbook page I did of her. You can see it here
This is an exploding box I was commissioned to make for a teacher at school. I haven't shown every page, there are already lots of pics to look at.She really liked it.

Baby cards

Hello everyone in blogland
I had 2 lovely card classes  yesterday.I thought i would show you some of the Baby cards we were making in the first session.
I used the Sizzix baby romper die. I cut it out of K & Co double sided cardstock, Tim Holotz Vintge Shabby, and the red one out of card that was coloured on just one side.
With the red romper I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder 3/4 of the way up the romper. The message is from a Cuttlebug die. On the others i have used MS border punches, Sizzlets letterv dies, buttons etc. On the last one i embossed "little bundle" and sanded it slightly and cutb it out with Nesties.
I think these are a nice change to ordinary baby cards. i hope you like them too

Hearts and flowers and Love!

Well 3 days and I haven't lot any weight! Well I haven't tried that hard yet. I am breaking myself in slowly!!!!!!!

Here is a card I made using a Tilda, Magnolia stamp which I have coloured with Promarkers. I decided to use blues again. The big heart I have embossed and put on some tiny gems.

Anyone for Anya - heart 4 heart's sake

Tomorrow I have to go see a consultant to see if I need a minor op on the back of my throat. Just a quick day job.....shame, no time off work!!!!! Will it stop me talking and eating.....Nah!!!!! Probably need plenty of Ice Cream though.


What a great theme at Anyone for Anya - hearts. I have used a digital Anya image coloured with Promarkers.. The heart shape is cut with a Sizzix dies, embossed and then sanded. The tickets are also a digital download. The chipboard flowers I have covered with crackle glaze.

Anyone for Anya - anything goes

Did you watch X Factor last night? My fave 3 have got into the final. I'm hoping Joe will win. His voice is superb, Stacey just makes laugh everytime she speaks and Olly, well I love his crazy dancing.



Well onto a challenge. This is my entry for Anyone for Anya where the theme is anything goes.
I have used one of the new digital images of Ian which are coloured with Promarkers. The stars are cut from a Sizzix die and the paper is from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated

Totally Gorjuss has a great sketch for you to follow so pop over. You don't even have to use a Gorjuss stamp!!!!


Will put up another post in a few minutes
See you
