2 pretty things...

How pretty are they!!!!!!!!!!!!
 i picked up some of these....they are from Craft time ...i found these in my local Dunelm shop


they are perfect for cards...they come in lots of different colours in huge packets, cost £1.99 for a pack of 100..........all those sentiments in different colours...i bought the pink pack, the blue and brown and then the cream and white.........just perfect! hoping now not needing to print and cut out my own sentiment!

I have also printed out this recently...

and please don't laugh....

I did it...i took the plunge and jumped on the very cute, little people, stamps........yes, i stamped an image and made a card with it...........insert dramatic music please........

For the actual details of how i made this card and what i use, please visit the Scrap Paper Scissors blog..
so, if you promise not to laugh.....i will show you the card that took me 6 hours to make...that is seriously embarrassing....6 hours! Basically, it took it that long as after i had stamped her and stamped all the little sections of her onto pattern paper and glued it all down....i had no idea what to do next!!!!!!!

and some close ups...

There is a giveaway on the blog to win some of the stamps, so pop by...thanks for looking.

Morning all...

Hope you weekend was fine? Here in the UK we had a heatwave...so 80 degree weather in October was a bit strange and very hot!!!!! so i stayed in and did some scrapping.

This went up on the Scrap Paper Scissors blog this morning...so if you want to hear the details about how i put them together then check it out!

Basically i challenged myself to make two cards in half and hour ( normal time is about 4 hours..how sad is that!!!!) and this is what i came up with...again a bit different but i like them...

and the second...
