Just Like Riding a Bike With Close To My Heart

Hi - I have another card for you today using a pocket scrapbooking card, this time a little more blinged up.

Using a CTMH cardstock base I cut my My Reflections "wanderful" paper to size and matted to the base.  I then added the super cute bicycle card to the left side and sprayed with gold mist on either side.  Once the mist had dryed I added sprayed binding ribbon and a pearl strip to the bottom then layed down a flower cluster.  Very appropriate as Spring is blooming here in New Zealand at the moment and daylight saving has just begun.

Thanks for joining me today, happy scrapping.

Congratulations on your Baby News.....

My blogging friend Chris  is expecting a new grandchild next year which is very exciting for her :)  I made up a card for her and her family to say congratulations.....

Obviously coloured in baby neutral colours as they don't know the sex yet.  Also flat as I sent by standard post :)

The papers are my all time fave MME Sweetest Thing collection and the image is by Mo Manning.  I coloured the image with my copic markers.

The weather has suddenly turned gorgeous of course since school goes back on Monday after 2 weeks break.  So I am off to get some Vitamin D while I can.

Happy scrapping :)

Lovely Easy Close to my heart card.

Hi hope this post finds everyone feeling creative.  I have come up with a REALLY quick card for you today for those times when you need a card but are caught on the hop with little or no time.

All you need is some CTMH cardstock and a 4x6 Pocket Scrapping card.

See told you it was easy and quick :)  So next time you are in need of a card in a hurry just whip up one of these and you will be good to go.

Happy Scrapping 

Pocket Scrapbooking with Close to my Heart.

Hi :) I am here today to share my first post as a DT member of I <heart> stamping. I am going to share a pocket page of my sons 7th birthday I have made using some wonderful CTMH products.



I have used Chalk it Up Picture My Life cards from CTMH and also cut some CTMH My Reflections Seaside Paper to size. I cut some designs in CTMH black cardstock using my Cricut.

Thanks so much for joining me for my first I <heart> stamping post, happy scrapping until next time.

Tea for Me and Tea for Two

A few weeks back Alyce at Kit and Clowder had a colour along and used a stamp by Lia Designs at Whimsy stamps.  I saw the card on the kit and clowder facebook page and thought the image was kind of cute so I went and had a look at what other images the artist had and found this really cute one called Tea Girl.  So I coloured her up with my copics and made a card.....

I used Fancy Pants paper, wild orchid flowers, marrianne designs die,  white stazon and the sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Thanks loads for dropping by, Happy Scrappin.

I have actually been creating....

I have been completely remiss at sharing my creations with you lately but I have been creating, honestly ;)  I am struggling to find time between swimming, kindy and day to day chores but it is happening.  Unfortunately the blog isn't but, and I know I have said this before, I will get better.

My last post was the blog hop post and I shared a Lili of the valley image I had been colouring.  I fixed her hair and made a card with papers from Fancy Pants Be Loved and lots of dies and punches and a bit of pearl trim.....

This actually quite a small card at only 5 x 5 inches but I really love how it has turned out.

I am of to a craft and garden day next month so I need to start getting some cards together for that and also buy envelopes and packets.  If you want to check it out you can find info at https://www.facebook.com/pages/20th-Dannevirke-Garden-and-CRAFT-EXPO/779032122149061?fref=ts
It is held at the school where my boys go and is pretty big.  Also our major fundraiser so if you are close come along.

Happy Scrapping :)
