Say Cheesecake

Hope you are all well and keeping dry... today we have rain after a few days of glorious sunshine, who know what we will have tomorrow.  All my plan of a quiet school holiday have gone out of the window as my grandson came monday lunchtime and wants to stay until wednesday, wednesday my grandaughter is coming ...get the picture, grandma duties.
Anyway l was determined to make this card this morning so here it is....as it is a very big stamp there is not room for much else so l had the idea of making film, l stamped the cheeky mouse on acetate and added to the back of the little frame l made.

Man's Best Friend

Did you wonder if l had got lost at Wembley as l have not posted this week?? Bradford City did us proud and won promotion, it was the first time we have been to Wembley as we did not go down to the cup match. My son and l had a fantastic time shouting and cheering, the atmosphere was special and we will remember it for a long time.
I bought this gorgeous stamp from LOTV a couple of weeks ago - along with 3 more of the new boys vintage release, they are just shouting out to be inked up.
The paper l bought on a holiday in Florida a couple of years ago and the hessian is from a bag of blue mountain coffee beans l bought in Jamaica - brownie points for me for recycling lol

Hello me lovlies, it is so cold l am sat here with a t-shirt, fleece jumper and my body warmer on and a red wet nose just like rudolph lol and my poor little Toby has caught my cold too he has been sneezing all day :(  Hope you are all keeping dry and warm.
Enough moaning and on with the post Esther Nellie is tucked up in bed for her regular wednesday sleepover giving me an hour or so to catch up in my craft den.  For todays card l have used a stamp l bought over two years ago and not yet inked up, l cut these papers a few weeks back for a different card but they just did not look right so put them to one side and they are perfect for this stamp.

Flower Heart Wreath

Hope you are all well and keeping warm.  I have a fairly steady week this week - caught up on HW and even sorted the carrier bag that was half of odd socks - half have been matched up and lord only knows where the rest are - l think my washer eats them.Had a little drive over to LOTV this afternoon for some of the new vintage boys stamps and a little die and a few flowers jumped into my basket too. :)
Anyhow... my niece asked me to make an engagement card for her friend and wanted something elegant on the same lines as my white valentines card, l bought this gorgeous flower wreath for Chloe's at the Harrogate papercraft show and was saving it for something special.
I stamped it and embossed with WOW silver powder on white card then again on a good quality vellum and cut out the flowers only then added it onto and added gems to the centres. I have to say it looks stunning IRL and the photo does not do it any justice. I have decorated the inside but forgot to photo that (numpty) I made a box to match too.
