A quick Thankyou card....

This card is made using Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip and Naturals Ivory cardstock, and the same colour inks. I used Papillon Potpourri stamp set for the butterflies, and immediately after stamping went over them with a blender pen to take some of the Chocolate Chip colour into the Naturals Ivory card, and I then used the Elegant Butterfly punch. The greeting is from the fantastic new
Sassy Salutations. My score board came in handy here for a bit of border and it wasn't complete without some bling from the Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack

Wedding scrapbook pages

These are two of the first pages I made for my wedding scrapbook. I have used Crumb Cake card, and the printing is all with Crumb Cake or VersaMark and then white Stampin Emboss Powder. The stamps I used are from 'Everything Eleanor', Papillon Potpourri, Papaya Collage and Viola's Lace. I have added a little foliage using the 'Little Leaves Sizzlets' die. I used the lovely new Elegant Butterfly' punch.

A vintage card

Vintage is definitely my style!! The older it looks the more I love it :) This card is made using Naturals Ivory and Chocolate chip card, layered up with various degrees of sponging on the edges. I've used chocolate chip and crumb cake colours for stamping and sponging, and a little bit of colour added with a blender pen and your choice of pinks and greens. I used rose red and pear pizazz. The stamps featured are from the fabulous new set called Elements of Style

A personal present

I made this beautiful frame for my sister's 21st Birthday, just before the Beau Chateau paper and the old butterfly punch retired. I used an Ikea frame costing just over £4 and a little bit of old lace, but otherwise it's all Stampin' Up. I can see this being recreated using the new Fanfair paper with the frame from Papaya Collage and the beautiful new butterfly punch.....My friends Carolyn and Naomi have also made them as birth announcements for friends.....

Wedding creations

Hello and welcome to my blog!! I'm looking forward to sharing lots of lovely projects on here, but first I want to share with you a few pieces of my craft from the past 18 months or so.  I got married in April and used lots of fabulous Stampin' Up products to create many bits and pieces for our big day - from wedding invitations, to table plans, aisle decorations and bridesmaids bouquets.....here are a few pictures of the finished products on the big day.....

The aisle decorations.......

The bridesmaids bouquets.....

 The 'post us a note' birdcage which was the perfect size for people to post through 'top notes' with messages on.......

The Table Plan..........combined Stampin' Up with a beautiful frame and a very old book!

 The card box........

The name tags for the home-made jam favours......

This was very special to us, we collected lots of very old family photographs, particularly of family weddings, dating back to 1888 and created a display - lots of daubing involved - I have now put them into a Stampin' Up scrapbook............

 The menus - these were a sleeve with a pull out insert so that I could create the outer piece earlier when I had time, but finalise the selection at short notice...............

I hope you've enjoyed my selection today.

Love, Leigh-Anne xx
