Seasoned with Mica powders!

I am loving my Mica powders at the moment!

Here I've used an Inkadinkado snowflake stamp with versamark and dusted three shades of mica powders over the top. Just a bit of ribbon and of course some gems to finish off!

The only problem I have with Micas is they are blooming hard to photograph! Thats not going to put me off them though! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Funky Tree

This is a really cute idea on saw on our stand at the NEC, so I can't take credit for the idea but this is my take on it :)

The tree shape is a peel off and I've painstakingly added different gems and buttons to fit into the little circles! when I was getting towards the end I got a bit lazy and finished off with a few different shades of stickles. The greeting is a personal impressions stamp.

It's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

I keep getting christmas songs stuck in my head recently! I can't help but sing along with my internal jukebox which annoys my colleagues no end!

I made this christmas card today using one of my new stamps from the NEC. The company is called Indigo Blu and they have a fantastic range of unusual gorgeous stamps.

The one I've used here is called Bare Forest, it stamped beautifully first time with versamark ink and I then dusted it over with silver Mica powder to bring out the image.

Bare Forest stamp with mica powder

Cuttlebug embossing folder

Silver and blue card.

a sneaky peek

Can ya tell what it is yet?

Well it's not finished at the moment, so I'm just going to tease you with this little close up :)

F1 Smashbook page

So this is another page I've done in my 'Things I Heart' Smashbook! F1 race Weekends are marked on the calendar in our house, as sad as it sounds we try not to miss a race!

Anything can happen and as proved by Lewis Hamilton in 2008, World Championships can be won or lost at the very last corner of the very last race.

 The quote in the middle of the page was already there and is the reason I picked this particular page of the book! As you can probably tell we are McLaren supporters!

There is a blank page opposite this one so I may decide to update it every year entering the latest world Champion!

Lets hope the mighty Sebastian Vettel has a bit more competition next year as this past season has been quite a one horse race!

Even though the championship has already been decided, we will still be watching the remaining races, of course ;)

I really enjoyed doing this page and hope you have enjoyed browsing ;)

Thanks for stopping by, do drop in again soon :)

AUD Sentiments - Thank you

Thanks for visiting me today :)

My First Smash* Book

I've discovered I'm a very slow 'smasher' so I'll be sharing pages from my books one at a time!

This is the cover of the Black book, which I'm going to fill with things I love (or 'heart' as we say in our house!)

cover is by no means finished but I will keep adding little things here and there whenever the mood takes me!

I've started off a couple of pages inside too, here's a sneaky peek ;)
