Finally the purse

Hi everyone, only a couple days late with my mothers day purse....lol....wow time seems to fly sometimes. I have also photographed the card that I gave mum this year. Generally, I like to make a special one for mum but time didn't permit this year, so I matched up the box with the Baja Breeze textured cardstock and some Urban Garden DS Papers with the matching build a brad. I made this purse smaller than my last one because I only wanted to put some pandora jewellery inside this time.
Now I had an email this morning from Beverley asking me to put my scissor beads on my blog, So here they are Beverley. Alison Charlton demonstrated these at convention so they aren't my original idea, however they are a fantastic idea and I love them. These are made from all the Beads from the Pretties Kit even the stopper on the end which I flattened with a pair of my husband's fencing pliers. If you have any jewellery making tools they would also do the trick just nicely. I dyed my pearls in Rose Red re-inker to give this soft pink look as you can see some of the rose red has come out of the inside after I put them together. If you would like to no anything else please just email me. Cheers!

Bloomin Beautiful in pink


I made this card with Mother's Day in mind soon as it's just around the corner. The colours are Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirrouette and Mellow Moss. I have used the new Flower Fusion II as well as the Eyelet Edge Punch. I have used used Dazzling Diamonds on the flowers but you carn't pick that up in the picture. This is one of my favourite sets to watercolour. I have stamped inside with Happy Mothers Day as well.

ESAD Cyberstamp Colour Challenge


The ESAD Cyberstamp Colours for the colour challenge were Close to Cocoa, Baja Breeze & Pink Pirrouette. I love these colours together. I will certainly be using these colours together again. I watercoloured with my Aqua Painter and Ink pad the hydranga flowers in pink pirrouette & baja breeze. The bowl is close to cocoa and I did introduce the kiwi kiss for the leaves. I also added the shadow in Sahara Sand and some white ribbon. I used the Happy Mothers Day stamp because before we no it that will be here as well. I hope you are having a great day today.....The first day back on normal time certainly makes a difference to the routine.....
