Baby on the way

Hello my crafty peeps! 

I have baby's on the brain since my step-sister announced she was expecting a little girl.  
Besides shopping at Harrods and a few other places in London I knew I wanted to make this card.
It's not Stampin' Up! But I did use their paper etc.  This is a Lawn Fawn set called "Loads of Fun" and "A little bundle" with matching dies.

I watched their video on making the shaker card and Loved it! So here is my version:
Hope you like it.

 Another card I made using Stampin' Up! "Made with Love" stamp set...


Hope you like them.... Stay tuned for more projects.

Hello from Paddington!

Hello my crafty peeps!

We have been so busy doing life, that I have neglected blogging.  As many of you know I am over in England for a trip down memory lane and a family reunion.  I have finally met my 3rd cousin Jayne after about 15 yrs of off and on communication.  She is absolutely wonderful and besides opening her home to me and mum has been our tour guide in Devon and Kent.  

We have stayed in London as well by my Auntie Sally's for few days so we could check out Covent Gardens, Trafalgar, Buckingham Palace.  Today we are on the train from Paddington station to my Auntie Audrey's in Stourton on Severn, Worchestershire.  

I am missing my craftroom and playing with all the new and exciting products from the NEW catalog!
While wandering the streets of Lyme Regis I found a shop selling wooden dolly pins, I picked up 12 and hope to use for one of my ribbon shares. 

Another crafty find was Vintage Floral bunting that has pink embroidered letters, I chose to spell out cards and hang in my craftroom and use at craft fairs.  Each flag attaches with a small button.  I haven't taken a picture since they are buried in my suitcase but they are similar to this.



Well my train ride is almost over, time to say goodbye.  Will try to post again in the next week...
But did you know June is an fabulous month for you to host a party (home or catalog party)!!
