Petal Pizzazz

My posts will be a bit short and sweet for awhile until I get myself into more of a routine, but I'll still keep showing my creations.... even if my word content isn't much.

Anyway, here's a card I did over the weekend. I was thinking more of the colour combo on this (Basic Black, So Saffron, Bashful Blue and Ballet Blue) rather than the composition and cocked up with the sentiment at the top. It should of been at the bottom really but never mind...I'll change it next time. The stamp set is Petal Pizzazz which is in the new mini catalogue. It has some corking blooms in it, great for cutting out. Have you spotted one of my new Martha Stewart punches? Simple scallop....Mmmmmm. Tfl, Jo :)

Happy Anniversay Linda!

My Upline Linda has a very special wedding anniversary today...25 years!

Congratulations Linda & Ian!

Hope your day is very special.

Crop Day

It was crop day today and a much needed one at that. Thank you to everyone for your kind comments on my first week back at work. I did enjoy being out of the house alot more than usual. The next few weeks will be more settled as I get things in order and gradually move all the works stuff out of my home office into my new work office. I'll then have loads of space to put things away and be tidy in my crafting space, and more productive I hope! :) Anyway, have you got your sunglasses on because this is a bright one...

This is a windswept Jake and I from last week on the Isle of Wight. The one and only photo I have of us together that was actually in focus! DH is not good with cameras. I take the majority of my photos on manual but Paul can only do auto...well I say only.... it's more like pot luck really. His eyesight isn't good and he refuses to wear his glasses (how vain is he??) so he lives in his own little blurry world.... hence out of 15 photos on auto only 1 was in focus.... men eh!? lol

The page looks a bit oversaturated on blogger but in real life it's not so 'in your face'. I'll have a go at trying to calm it down later so you're not all blinded, but hope you like. Whilst at the crop today I received my pre-order of the lovely, lovely, gorgeous and lovely Martha Stewart punches! I have to say they are better than I imagined - the embossed detail with some of them is beautiful. I bought Flourish, Simple, Scallop, Embossing Zigzag and my favourite of all Embossed Scallop...so pretty! Off to play with them now. tfl and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Jo :)

Mr & Mrs

Jake's school teacher is getting married in July and she's invited all her pupils to attend the church - how sweet is that. Jake definately wants to go so I've done the formal thing and sent an acceptance card. Of course it had to be handmade so I used the Mr & Mrs set - my first use of this and I have to say it's looovely. I've used the matching wheel and the detail is quite beautiful. I've probably gone a bit overboard for an acceptance - I just couldn't help myself.

Hope you like...

Jo :)
