I spent a lovely afternoon in my craft room working on my next memory book. Since doing my first book using Tonic Memory Book 2 these books have definitely hit the spot with me and I just love doing them. </div>

I have used a digi stamp set from Dr Digi House of Stamps called '<a href="http://www.doctor-digi.com/sentiments/funny-sentiment-sheet-02">Funny Sentiments 2</a>'. The sheet of sentiments is substantial and I used two of them.</div>

Hi there, another week over and I just love Friday's although I have a busy day today so not much crafting done. Tomorrow will be my crafting day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A new challenge begins at <b><u><a href="http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com/">Simply Create Too</a>.</u></b> </div>

Our theme for this month is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'<b>Make a Shaker Card</b>'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used a background I made sometime ago where I took some heat resistant acetate, covered it with dries clear glue and then sprinkled it with cosmic shimmer pixie powders, then put some tissue paper onto it and leave it to dry. This technique is one I learnt from John Lockwood and Julia Watts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also sprinkled some gold glitter into it before putting the tissue paper on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame was cut from Sue Wilsons Peg Board die and the poinsettia I die cut from Dawn Bibby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished off with a sentiment from Phill Martin's stamps.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>flowers | use jewels | 2 or more brads</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My image is a digi stamp from our sponsor <b>Ikes Art</b> and is called '<b>Christmas Candles</b>'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After printing my image out I coloured it in using my sakura pens. I do love a bit of sparkle at Christmas. I matted it onto some green card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My card base is a white A5 followed by a piece of green card as a mat. My patterned paper was a freebie from either one of my Christmas magazines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped the poinsettias using a stamp from Chloe's Creative Cards and Wow glitter powder called 'Rudolphs Nose' also from Chloe's Creative Cards. I stamped onto vellum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A green leaf brad in each corner and jewels in the centre of my poinsettias. </div>

Good morning. We have a new challenge beginning today at <b><u><a href="https://crafty-girls-creations.blogspot.com/">Crafty Girls Creations</a></u></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My card today is made around one of my backgrounds. I have used the tissue paper technique which John Lockwood and Julia Watts have demoed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began with a piece of acetate which I covered using dries clear glue. I then sprayed it with water and then tapped my pixie powders on. Another reasonable spray with water and it is ready for my scrunched up tissue paper which I tap down with kitchen roll. Then leave to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame is made using Sue Wilsons Noble Double Pierced Rectangle dies and the corner sentiments are from Phill Martin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made the flowers using a stamp from Honeydoo Crafts which I have embossed with their white,white embossing powder. The flourishes are from Sue Wilson and I finished off my flowers with gems in the centre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have made a 8x8 white card blank and layered it first with a piece of white card pricked around the edged and then another piece of white card which I have embossed using a leaf A4 embossing folder from Sheena. I also inked around the edges with distress ink - cracked pistachio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame I die cut using Sue Wilson's double pierced round noble dies. My flowers are stamped with cracked pistachio distress ink and the stamp I have used is a set of peony stamps from Creative Expressions. The die cut leaves also Sue Wilson's of which I cut four, left two white and inked through the other two. I then finished it and the flowers off with Tonic Nuvo pearl drops - Caribbean Ocean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along with the digi stamp I also received a coloured in version which I have taken into my Serif Craft Artist programme and designed the below with one of my digi kits.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used a sentiment from our sponsor called '<a href="http://www.drsdesigns.com/coffee-friends-greeting-531d/">Coffee & Friends Greeting</a>'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually started with a background. I had been having an afternoon of playing. This background made using a stencil from Clarity with Creative Expressions clear texture paste and then the new Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Shakers - dusky mink and delicate blossom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made the flowers using a stamp from Honey Doo Crafts called <a href="https://www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk/ourshop/prod_6363761-Spring-Time-Blooms.html">Spring Time Blooms </a>which I stamped onto vellum using <a href="https://www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk/ourshop/prod_4209342-Embossing-Powder-Basics-Collection-As-Seen-On-TV.html">white white embossing powder</a> also from Honey Doo. I then inked the back with colour cloud - Frosted Blossom. The leaves are the new dies from John Next Door which have been inked using Frosted Mink colour cloud.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again I have only used white card. One of the layers I inked around the edges with Frosted Blossom colour cloud. The frame was die cut using one of Sue Wilsons Noble Square Pierced Dies and embossed.</div>

I have used a digi stamp from our sponsor called '<b><u><a href="http://beccysplace.com/wildflowers-digital-stamps/">Wildflowers</a></u></b>' which I coloured in using spectrum noir pencils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to keep my card clean and simple so I used a vase stamp from Creative Expressions which I stamped using black versafine, clear embossed it and fussy cut it out. The sentiment was also from a sentiment set by Creative Expressions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card is a 5x7 blank with them matting and layering being die cut using Spellbinders 5x7 set A & B layering dies. I also used black colour cloud to ink around the edges of one of the mats.</div>

My card is an A5. The pop-up was made using a die from Tonic and the side panels were also cut from a strip die from Tonic. The flower strips were die cut using plain white card and then coloured using Tim Holtz distress ink - picked raspberry.</div>

For the front of the card I used a background which I had made using my pixie powders. I then die cut a frame using Sue Wilsons Noble Double Pierced Rectangle Dies, coloured it again using picked raspberry distress ink and then double embossed it with clear embossing powder to get that glossy look. The strip flower is also from Sue Wilson which I die cut twice so I could infill the flowers with glossy accents. </div>

Good morning all. Hope you had a good bank holiday weekend despite the weather. I always try to look at the rain as a good time for crafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must say I went away with my Mom the weekend before the bank holiday for our yearly 'mommy/daughter' break to Alvaston Hotel in Nantwich, Cheshire and we had the best weekend and the best weather so we definitely chose the right few days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well, onto some crafting and we start a new challenge at <b><a href="https://crafty-girls-creations.blogspot.com/">Crafty Girls Creations</a> </b>this morning which will run during the month of June.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have chosen to use an image called '<b><a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/collections/jj/products/bugjjwine-jj-wine">Bug JJ Wine</a></b>' which I thought was a brilliant image for girlfriends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After printing the image out I coloured it in using copic sketch markers as follows: -</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then kept is really simple by diecutting my image using Sue Wilson Noble Rectangle dies. I also use these dies to cut a frame out. I finished off my card with some wine coloured pearls.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our theme is the usual</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>always anything goes</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping out my sentiment onto white card using a black versafine ink pad and then clear embossed it. I then die cut it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then die cut the heart out using peach card and backed it onto white card. I die cut a heart shape into a piece of white card 8" x 7" and embossed it using the interlocking circles embossing folder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut a piece of peach card 8.25"x 7.25". To this I fixed my white embossed card using some foam pads. I then inserted my sentiment heart followed by the peach heart. This was also fixed using foam pads to give it further depth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using some vellum I stamped my flowers using perfect medium and embossed them with Graceful Peach Lustre embossing powder and cut them out. I cut out 6 large and 6 medium, pinching them at the ends and then assembling them. Finishing off with a peach pearl in the centre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once my card was fully assembled I finished off by putting some pearl nuvo drops into the centre of the interlocking circles on the embossing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished off by stamping the anniversary sentiment using a stamp from Dimensions onto white card and die cut it using flag die from Sue Wilson again in black versafine ink and clear embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Pixie Powders for background - I used acetate, covered in dries clear glue which I misted and then added my pixie powders, misted again and then placed some tissue paper onto it, pressed that down so it was fixed (press don't rub) then leave to dry.

Good morning folks. Hope you are enjoying this bank holiday? Aren't we having lovely weather, given this is Britain we probably need to make the most of it while we have it - LOL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well today we start a lovely new challenge at <a href="http://craftingfromtheheartchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafting from the Heart</a>.</div>

The digital stamp I chose to use from our sponsor is called '<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/120781270/roses-in-milk-bottle?ref=shop_home_active_13">Roses in Milk Bottle'</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After printing our my image I coloured it using my distress ink marker pens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame I have used a stencil and <a href="http://www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk/carnival-tangy-tangerine-full-set-9920-p.asp">Colour Cloud Tangy Tangerine</a> from Phill Martin's range. To die cut the frame I used dies from Sue Wilson and Creative Expressions - double pierced rectangles sets A & B.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have only used white card on this project so for the blue mat I inked around the edges with Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment was a stamp from my stamping stash and versafine ink.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The digi collection I have used is called '<b><u><a href="https://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/store/p207/Cowboy_Cactus_Planter.html">Cowboy Cactus Planter</a>'</u></b> This is a super collection that comes with coloured and uncoloured images plus lots of sentiments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this card I have used all white card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured my digi image using copic sketch markers and then fussy cut it with my BSC.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My background is made using a 7x7 mask from clarity and <a href="http://www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk/cosmic-shimmer-crackle-paste-by-phill-martin-680-c.asp">Frosted Mink Crackle Paste </a>which is new from Cosmic Shimmer and Phill Martin. It is THE most easiest crackle paste to use, you just spread it and leave it to dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whilst that was drying I inked around the edges of a piece of white card with <a href="http://www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk/colour-cloud-by-phill-martin-244-c.asp">Decadent Oak Colour Cloud</a>, again from Phill Martin's range.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also printed out my sentiment and die cut it using tags from Sue Wilson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is a page from the insert I placed inside the card. This was produced in Serif Craft Artist, the image is one of the coloured ones and a PNG which was great for this.</div>

<b>Must Use Die Cuts</b></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can enter any project just so long as you use die cuts.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My card was based, loosely, on a card I saw the lovely Phill Martin make on his last visit to Hochanda with his lovely new stamps. I loved the layout but hadn't got the stamps so I found a background stamp in my stamp stash and went from there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped my background onto the black card and embossed it with cosmic shimmer detail black embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also used another background stamp and embossed the edges again with black embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My flower is a die from spellbinders and the flourishes are from creative expressions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I put the flower together I did ink the edges with black colour cloud. I then finished it off using some black tonic nuvo drops in the flourish and in the centre of the flower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I began by cutting a piece of white card 7.75"x7.75" and inking around the edges. I then cut another piece of white card 7.5"x7.5" and embossed it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut two more pieces of white card 6"x3" which I also inked around the edges followed by 2 pieces of white card 5.75"x2.75" which I used to stamp the Papillon DL stamp and then embossing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My flowers were also stamped and embossed. I cut three large and three medium flowers and curled the edges. I also cut two leaves which I did cut down to make smaller.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With two bits of white card I die cut using the corner die from the Ribbon Threader, cut them out and then threaded the ribbon through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished off with a small purple gem in the middle of the flower.</div>

Good morning and Happy Easter Sunday. I have been good this year and not had any chocolate, mind you I am not a chocolate lover to be honest but I did buy my hubby and mom a Lindt chocolate bunny. What did I have, a summer top which is not fattening and no syns - LOL.</div>

I have coloured my digi image - <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/275048956/gina-caribe?ref=shop_home_active_8">Gina Caribe</a></b> - using my Graphmaster and Copic alcohol pens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began by cutting down a piece of A5 white base card to 8"x 5.75". I then cut another piece of white card 7.75" x 5.5" which I pierced around the edges using Sue Wilson's pricking ruler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With another piece of white card cut down to fit within the piercing I die cut an oval shape out of the middle using my double pierced oval dies from Sue Wilson. I then embossed it using an 8"x8" music embossing folder from Crafters Companion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used Sue Wilsons classic weave die to make my background in pink and white. I have to admit I am a bit addicted to this weaving. I have only used the classic one so far but they look so good and something I can die whilst watching the TV in the evening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have fussy cut my image using my BSC on the direct to cut facility. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My flowers have been stamped using Flowers from the Heart stamps from <a href="http://www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk/">Honey Doo Crafts</a> and distress ink - mermaid lagoon. Then die cut out. I cut 2 large, 1 medium and 1 small. The leaves are from Sue Wilson's finishing touches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't put a sentiment on as this card is going into my stock so I can add that on as and when but you will note I have left a little space at the bottom.</div>

Hi folks, My last day of me hols today, back to work Monday - boo hoo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My play today is using a technique I saw Francoise Read from Woodware shows on Hochanda using. I had used tissue paper before but not for stamping and as I have just received my lovely new DL stamps from Phill Martin it seemed a perfect time to try this technique out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut a piece of tissue paper, stamped my design onto it and dried it off. I then sprayed inked it using ink misters and dried that off. Sods law when I wanted some blobs I didn't get any but I am still pleased with it. I then inked with what I thought was a clear ink pad but I messed up and used a white one so I carried on and then embossed that with clear embossing powder. I then trimmed it down and fixed it to a piece of white card which dries clear glue. I then decided I wasn't happy with the shine so I re-inked it with versamark and embossed it with clear embossing powder not really knowing what would happen given it was already stuck to the card. It actually embossed beautifully.</div>
