Well I decided to make my husband a Valentine's Day card.
I made one but could not decide whether I liked it not.
Most of the products I used were from Crafter's Companion, except
For the banner dies which is from Creative Expressions.

The 1st card I made was using products from the Crafter's Companion issue 13 cd rom and the idea for Iris folding.

This 2nd card I made I used red mirro card and used Sara's love and romance Signature range. I have decided that I like them both so husband will have to get them both now lol. Hope you have a fab day xx

Night of colouring

Sneaky Peeks Pollyanna Pickering's

Hi all 

On Monday the wonderful Lynda Chapman will be on our create and craft screens with the fabulous Pollyanna Pickering's new dvd rom called Christmas moments. 

And I can honestly say that this is one dvd rom that you will want to get, here are the samples that I have made from the dvd rom too.

I must admit this boxed card is my absolute favourite one I have made, I put in a battery operated candle which changes colour really brings the image out which I printed out on printable velum.

I made this note book card as I think it's a good idea for making Xmas present ideas.

I just brought a note book and I decorated the front of it.

This is a fridge magnet which I thought was simple to do.

For some reason I love making calendars think a new addiction is forming.

There are brand new stamp sets too so come and watch Lynda on Monday 24th Aug on create & craft.

They re available to buy at www.creativecraftingworld.co.uk 

Happy crafting 

Sam xx
