Card Club @ Scrapbook Fantasies
Today was the Card Club Christmas Party at Scrapbook Fantasies and we did Recipe tags for our swap. I made everyone a cover for their books. My tag has my Apricot Chicken Recipe on the back. Naomi-Jon even made tags with our favourite easy biscuit recipe on the back. And this is how the books looked when finished.

Teacher Gifts
Today is the last day of School and I have created what I think are two very lovely Teacher Gifts. As both Amanda and Jane are pregnant I created a neutral frame for a Baby Scan (or newborn) photograph for each of them. The kids absolutely love them and I am very happy with the results.

Creating Wendy Vecchi 490 Style
I saw this challenge at Linda Elbournes blog and just had to have a go. I have always admired the work of Wendy Vecchi and now that I own some of her fab stamps I am in heaven. It was a real pleasure to just create for me without a deadline, a class looming or any pressure whether work or self imposed. Anyways here is my take on the latest challenge over at Simons Says Stamp and Show… I used a Papermania Bare-book cover, Distress Inks (Walnut Stain, Broken China, Rusty Hinge, Crushed Olive and Frayed Burlap), a blending tool, Cut’n’Dry foam, Walnut Stain Distress Stickles, Wendy Vecchi stamps, Tim…
