Up, Up and Away...

Afternoon everyone...hope you've all had a fabulous start to your weekend and for those of you who are preparing for Christmas, I hope it's all going really well!!

As promised, I'm just dropping by to share my very last sample that I made for the Clarity Stamp shows on Create and Craft last weekend. Can you believe this is the last Clarity sample that I will be sharing in 2012???

For this card, I wanted to create something really bright, fun and perfect for an adult or child. I'll look forward to reading all your comments and as always, I hope you like it!!!

For those of you who saw this kit on TV, you will know that there was just one balloon stamp but to make the bunch of balloons on this card, I masked off each of the balloons in turn and then stamped the next one. I used Distress Markers to colour them, stamped and heat embossed the message and then, created my famous sky background to complete the card.

Up close to see the embossed detail on the message.

So, that's it from me for today and the next time I will be sharing any more Clarity samples is in 2013!!!

Don't forget that you can still win a card, made and signed by either myself or other DT members, over on the Craftwork Cards blog!! Hope you'll join in and leave a comment...and GOOD LUCK!!

See you all soon...Love Emma xxx

Cherish and Love

Thank you for all your lovely comments on yesterday's post...and a big hello to my new followers!! Welcome aboard...

Today, I'm sharing the second of my scrapbook layouts using some more of those stunning papers, die cuts and the fabulous ribbon roses from Kaisercraft's, Tigerlily collection. I hope you like it...

I had a few people asking who the person is in the photos and it is actually, little me!!! Friends know that I absolutely hate having my photo taken and very rarely put myself in front of a camera these days. However, today was an exception, I have a new hairstyle and decided to show it off just a little!! I used to have the most fantastic hairdresser, EVER but she became pregnant and gave it up and since then, I have had 18 months of hair horror!!! So today, I plucked up the courage to walk into a salon and get it cut and....*breathes a sigh of relief*...I'm back to my old self!!

Close up of those roses...just to tempt you a little bit more and as always, all the Kaisercraft goodies can be found at Merly Impressions...one of those shops that should come with a health warning because you will spend way too much because there's so many gorgeous products to buy!!!!

Time for me to head back to work...I'll be round later to visit all your blogs!!

Bye for now and see you soon!

Love Dream Believe

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Hope you're all having a lovely day so far and dodging the April showers that seem to be falling.

Today, I'm sharing a scrapbook layout. My regular followers all know by now that I LOVE Kaisercraft products and when I had my latest box of goodies from my lovely friend Chrissy at Merly Impressions, there was a lot of ooh's, aah's and paper stroking at Chez Williams' before I eventually got scrapping. I actually think this has to be one of Kaisercraft's best collections because for me, the colours are just heavenly!!

So, ta-dah....here it is ~ I hope you like my layout using the stunning Tigerlilly collection.

Everything that I've used is available at Merly Impressions and if you only buy one thing, I urge you to buy those "to die for" ribbon roses...they are gorgeous!!!!

Time for me to go...lots to do if I can get my brain to function!!

I'll be round to see all your blogs, later today and can't wait!

Bye for now and see you soon!
