Me To You Saturdays Week 26

Just discovered today that my local craft shop, Kims Craft is closing its branch in Hinckley at the end of May. It came with shock, they are doing well but some dispute with the landlord and the lease. Which is an awful shame, I thoroughly enjoyed demonstrating for the shop.

Welcome to week 26 of my Me To You Saturdays. I hope you enjoy this, it is a very short post and another candle from me. I hope you enjoy. Sorry for the quality of the pic, it was taken in a rush and I no longer have the candle to retake another pic.

Me To You Saturdays Week 25

Did you think I forgot! lol, I had not forgot. It has just been mission impossible to get to my desk today and create this card, ideally I normally create the card in advance.

When I finished my card, I then went to grab my camera out of my handbag to take a picture and grabbed my wallet instead. I ended up laughing to myself. I had to improvise in my background, as I normally clear the desk once a week to take pics of my cards, however this time as I only needed to take a pic of one card I did not want to make that effort! My excuse, i am tired and it is so late.

When I was making this card, I started yawning, not because I was bored, but because I was so tired, and still am, and feeling so sleepy, after a very long day up the M6 and M1, so that reduced any brain power I had on this card. Anyway, enough of my waffling, if anything made sense in that! Here is my card for today.

No my mum is not 65. This was a commissioned card I made for a friend, and I really enjoyed this. I got to use the new Digital Designer Software and play with the colours, software. I really enjoyed making this card and using the silver mirror card.  I hope you like.

Hello, I can not say thank you enough for all the lovely support and comments you leave me. It does mean so much.

Another late post from me, because I thought I had posted todays card, but I had not! Oh dear or dear me...Whoops. Todays card is a commissioned card I made before Christmas using my CD Rom. I thoroughly enjoyed making this card and using silver mirror card, instead of grey card. I had not thought of silver mirror card until I saw Nancy demonstrate this on TV with the decoupage packs. I hope you like.

Also, this card is an A5 card size. I have recently taken a liking to cards of this size and they seem to be popular for me at fairs.

Me To You Saturdays Week 21

This post is scheduled, as today I really want to enjoy myself and see if I can stay up until midnight.

This card was inspired by Leonie from Create and Craft. I liked how she teamed up the papers, and off centered the main topper. I have added the white gems and the At Christmas Have Fun. It was a quick card, and I really enjoyed making it. I hope you have enjoyed seeing all my me to you cards, I have really enjoyed showing them to you all. Whilst I write out this post, I just realised I would love this one in Pink!!!! That may be next weeks card! Pink here I come.

Happy Christmas Eve & Me To You

Its Christmas Eve, wow and on a Saturday. Good feeling that I have managed to do my shopping in advance, and am not one of those out in a rush in the last minute dash.

Here is another Saturday of full of these cute Me To You bears. So Sweet and look it is the Kraft card blank again! yay. The trouble is I have so many ideas in how to use them in Christmas, but need to use them up for birthday cards as well. A lovely card, and used up a lot of glitter too.

Me To You Saturdays Week 19

On the TV I recently saw the toppers being used differently, rather than the standard shapes, i liked the way the card was done in cutting the shape as an angle. So I followed the idea onto this card by cutting the topper at an angle, then layered it onto patterned paper and Mirror card.

The best way I found to layer these accurately was to first cut the topper, then stick it on to the patterned paper, line up the patterened paper on the guillotine and cut it to size. Then I repeated the same for the Silver mirror card. The top and the bottom of the card with the silver, and pink lines were Papermania Metallic Markers. The Sentiment was also from the same Me To You Decoupage Collection.

The picture is not so clear, I had to take quickly a bunch of pictures and was not paying a great deal of attention to the detail. So I am not sure you can see the glitter around the topper and additional glitter on the image.

The idea of using Kraft card blanks with the embossing folder came from Leonie. I love your ideas.

Me To You Saturdays Week 18

I bought a few too many Kraft card blanks when they first came out, I got a bit too excited me thinks! However I have been trying really hard to try and use them all up, although I don't think I will be able to go through all my stash of Kraft card blanks anytime soon. I have chopped them up and used them as layers, and have only recently started using them for their purpose I bought them in - card blanks!!!!!!!!

This has been my favourite embossing folder from this year, the snow flurry from the Me To You Winter Wonderland Range. And such a quick card, and a great way to use up those toppers in the Decoupage pack up and all that mirror card that I have in stock! For me, as money is tighter, 2012 will certainly be the year of using up my stash  and very limited new stuff. And hopefully a lot more sales!

Me To You Saturday Week 17

Hey folks, its Saturday, and yes again its a Me To You Saturday. Again, I have used a Snow Flurry Embossing folder from the Me To You collection, and teamed it up with the Me To You Winter Wonderland decoupage.

I have always used 3d foam pads and glue for my decoupage as in the past when I have used silicone, i have had issues with the brand I used. However, I have recently purchased Pinflair, and will let you know how I get on with that one. What do you use and recommend?

Me To You Saturday Week 14

Good Morning, I am here bright and early again. Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I had planned to come online and make some posts, but certain things happened that took my time away from it all. And in way, it was good to have that break.

Voting has started, giving the public a chance to put back in their person who was exited from the first week of the show by the judges. I couldnt decide between the lad, Amelia Lily or Two Shoes! I hope it is Amelia Lily, as she has the star quality and is diverse. I hope she goes back to her white hair and not her pink hair, cos to me that gave her the edge as well! I dont know why. But hey ho, will tune in to find out what happens tonight...

I am at a craft stall in Bedworth Town centre, in the Bedworth Methodist Church opposite Iceland. Come and join in and support the crafters, if you are local in the area. There are some knitwear, and other gorgeous goodies to fill up your basket with.

Here is todays card, it is an A5 card, using the Me To You Wrapped Up Stamp and papers from the Winter Wonderland Ultimate Decoupage Kit. I have recently loved doing large cards, I have always loved my A6 cards and square cards. But I don't have many A5 cards, I dont know why - they are good sellers. This was also one of my Demonstration cards at Abbeycraft.

Welcome to Me To You Saturday. We are on Week 9. Love for you to come and join me. As I am preparing samples for my upcoming demo, think I may have gone overboard with the samples.

You have to keep scrolling down and clicking on more ideas, but can you spot the card below?

Me To You Saturday Week 8

Sorry to jump on the Christmas band wagon, but I have been well and truly bitten. The sad news, I make christmas cards all year round, but just have not shown you and I still have cards that I made last year which I have not yet shown :(

Good news is that my bone is healed, I still have to use the walking boot but now I can take my foot on it, and start putting weight on it. Still not walking though, the foot keeps swelling up.

Bad news, last night i must have been out of the duvet for too long and I have seem to got a bit of cold and a fever this morning. Which is making me feel lousy.

I finished off this card last night, but did not photograph it till this morning, hence this post is slightly later than usual. So onto this weeks card, it uses Me to You Winter Wonderland Range. These Me to You Bears are so adorable. Hopefully, later by the time X Factor is on I would have racked my brains for a Forever Friends card tomorrow.

If you wish to join me, do leave a comment and I will come and look at your card, and link your card in this post. All I ask, is you link me back.

Me To You Saturday Week 7

I have made it to Week 7, but I doubt there will be a card from me next week as due to my foot it is making life very difficult. I want my life back and be able to walk on both of my feet without any crutches. Oh well.

This is another bookmark I created using Me to you stamp - Flower Pots. I hope you like. If you would like to join me, leave a comment to your work, I will visit you and link you in this post so others visit you. All I ask, is you link me in your post.

Sorry I have not been able to get around your blogs, and also explains why the number of comments have fallen. I am having trouble with blogger and commenting, and I am getting very weird messages. Will also try to visit you, when blogger works again!
