Another day, Another post

Good Morning, I think taking some time off from work has done wonders for my Missing Mojo. Last year I only used 3 days on my annual holiday entitlement & as a family we had a lot of stress going on I Dont think I realised  how much it had all got to me. This last 12 days I have spent time catching up with friends & crafting. This week being half term I have Abi home from sixth form to share creative time with.

 The first card uses Build a blossom from the current catalogue & I've paired that with the lovely set called Charming from the Spring Mini Catalogue. This card is probably best being hand delivered as I've used double layer dimensional s on the flower to add layers of depth.

On page 124 of the main ideas book and current catalogue is a product called textured impressions embossing set ~ designer frames. I had previously overlooked this pair of embossing frames. When Sharon & I did an event back in December she had left these two embossing folders in my box by accident & they have been sat on my shelf ever since. So I thought I would have a little play with them & I guess now they will have to be added to my wish list. On this card I have embossed the frame in Calypso Coral, I think it really pops off the page. The other Embosslit is the beautiful wings folder which is a must for both card-makers & scrapbookers. With 5 sizes of butterfly each with a different texture,its great to add a butterfly if you have any stray ink on your cards or a little mark where it shouldn't be, that's a top tip I picked up from one of my ladies at the event on Saturday.
