MY PAPERARTSY SWIRLY HEARTS
These are the little Heart Fat Pages i made using the paperartsy squiggly heart stamp Simon demonstrated on the craft swap blog. when i saw the work simon did, i thought i love those hearts so off i trotted to the paperartsy website, and hey presto i found the squiggly/swirly stamps. although i loved them all, i had a sensible moment and thought no, i dont need any more stamps.... Well i did say it was a sensible moment, and a moment it lasted. Then I ordered the stamp. so here goes. i used different scraps of paper and different embossing powders to see what sort of effects i would get. and i was not disapointed with the results. i attached little glass stones to the swirls. the backing paper on the Fat Page was a load of paper i bought from QVC a while ago, but, didnt really use any. i thought this time around they went with my little hearts. i used my crop-a-dile to punch holes around the page, and threaded thru some fibres Ann-R bought me a while ago. i am pleased with the result. I really didnt have a decent heart stamp...... I do now.
This is my first ever blog. many crafters are using them. so hey i thought, lets give this a go. i will add some more stuff in the comming weeks. so enjoy having a look, and thanks for visiting my blog

Wedding Envelope.
My Friend was married recently, and having made her and steven a wedding card, i wanted the envelope to look unusual, so, having never made a large envelope before i decided to open an envelope up and use it as the template. i then used the cup cakes cd rom and printed out a rose patterned paper which i cut out and assembled. i then made a card for the front and tied with gold/cream organza ribbon. i was pleased with the result
