Dancing Maggie






The new Sugar Nellies have arrived and I have been playing over the bank Holiday. Hubby is off to the pub and I am in heaven with bits of paper and stickles.

The A5 blue card is for my mums 65th birthday next week. I used Bazzill cardstock and a background papers which were free from a magazine. These were stitched seperately. Of course I have been playing with nestabilities and stickles to layer up the Dancing Maggie stamp. The stamp was coloured with Primas pencils, blended with sansador and highlighted with glitter. The dress and face was curved and layered up to show a bit more dimention.


The red card uses Cosmo Cricket 'Twist and Shout' papers, bazzill and basic grey which was hand stamped up to make it a bit different. The fabric tag was 'scrapped' from a clothing label. I liked the way this Maggie looked a bit Christmassy with her 'tartan' dress.

Both cards have the insides decorated with coloured stamped images to finsh them off I added the glittered image on the back with contact details.

Off to play with Hamish now...

It was a shock to they system to go back to work after two weeks in the sun. Especially when I haven't even finished wading through the mountain of laundry. As a distraction to avoid looking at the laundry, I have been reviewing the photos which I took in Egypt while I was playing with my new Canon 450D camera and the 50mm lens which Allan bought me for Christmas. These very clever carvings were on display in the hotel restaurant. They had lovely displays of fruit and vegetables everyday. I just had to capture the colourful display. I set off tonight for my Tuesday weight watchers class in anticipation of the two weeks all inclusive menu of the Hauza Beach Resort in Sharm would have increased my weight dramatically. I was overjoyed to find I had stayed the same as before my holiday and not managed to put on an ounce! I don't believe it, we must have drank at least a bottle of red wine each day. I will have to be really ggood for this week otherwise it will show on m...

Playing in the sugar Bowl

This Card was created for the Sugar Bowl Challenge no 30 where the challenge was to create a card based on a sketch and make it shabby chic. I used an Easel card style as I love these at the moment!. I altered my GorJuss girl stamp and added Wings and another butterfly which was lifted off 3D with silicone glue. The background papers were from Basic Grey and Crafty Individuals. The background circle was embossed with the damask Cuttlebug folder and all were distressed with Ranger inks. The Angel words stamp is an old one from Debbie Moore designs. a couple of prima flowers, brads and stickles finish off the design.

Still Waiting.....

We are still waiting for our grandchild to be born. Our daughter is now 10 days over her due date and getting bigger and bigger. We hope that everything is well and baby is born with some intervention early next week. I hope this lazy baby will stay happy and contented when it emerges into the world. There is a large family waiting to meet him or her! As I am waiting, I used the Waiting to Happen kit from MGLscraps. This kit is so versatile and perfect for scrapping our waiting game. The layout is of my daughter Michelle when she showed teenage attitude.
