A Spoon Full Of Sugar


Hi Everyone, wow, two posts in a row... i'm back on track lol!! The weather looks a bit better today, so i thought i'd take a picture before it goes dark. I've made this card for this weeks: A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge which is Babys First Christmas. Sorry.. i've used that stamp again!!! I can't get enough of it- it's just so versatile!! :O) I dug out these yummy DCWV papers again from last year, i jsut love the girly shades in this pack, and the way every sheet co-ordinates perfectly!!

Side View:


I just used a simple layout, and a few embellies and the card as done. I also personalised it, as this is just one of the many orders i still need to make!!

NEC

Hello everyone, right i'm back from a fantastic day at the
NEC, unfortunatly, it's too dark to take any pics of anything i've bought, and besides i've ripped it all open!! :O) I spent all the pocket money i'd saved up!! Unfortunatly i didn't see anyone i knew. Although i met Sarah from www.lil-paper-pixie.blogspot.com, and Louise who was doing a FANTASTIC demo, with some stunning colouring, and amazing samples.
The Lili Of The Valley Stall was great, i bought two of the newly released boys stamps- footballer and the video games, and one of the sweet christmas teddies- 3 for £10! :O) Jacqui's samples were there on the stand. They are even more beautiful in real life.
There were also some scrummy prima flowers and yummy embellishments that i might of indulged in too! Oh well shhhhhhhhh!

Anyways thanks for visting, i've made avfew cards with my new stash which i'll post tomorrow.
