Gem - est. 1985

so I've started my next Smash* book! This is the 'Pretty Pink' style version, so what else could I do with it than fill it with All about ME!

For a start, I'll just show you the cover today :) 

I've added my name in bling and a spotty ribbon and bow, and the letters at the bottom are Thickers alphabet stickers.

I'll be back tomorrow with some pics of the pages I've started on inside!

Till next time!

Happy Valentines Day!...

...however you spend it!

We had an early celebration and went to London this past weekend, here's a few pics I just had to snap of the Paperchase window display!

Mwah!

The sentiment is a rub on.

Pile it on - Thanks

Hi everyone! 

It's Sunday which must mean I get to show you my card for the new challenge at Pile it on - our theme for this week is Heartfelt Thanks!

This week we are sponsored by the lovely Stampotique, and I used the image Carols Flower.

I stamped all over the card with a glue pad and sprinkled glitter in diagonal stripes.

Then I stamped a single flower, cut around it and glittered the middle, and added a tag and some ribbon to finish!
