Fox and Friends- Card

This will be the last of my Fox and Friend Features for this week. I have had so much fun with these little guys and I am sure you will see them used alot more. I made this peek-a-boo card to give for a little boys 1st birthday card but it would also make a wonderful Baby shower or New Baby card. The stars have been punched out using the Large and Small Star Punches and the little monkey hidden behind them.

CLOSE TO COCOA - RUNNING VERY LOW..

Ladies I am going to post on my Blog the updates I receive regarding the inventory of retiring colours. I recommend you check back regularly to see if colours you maybe wanting to order have become limited or even SOLD OUT..

Stampin Up has notified me Close to Cocoa CARD STOCK has only enough to last a few days. If you require this colour to keep you going into the future please email me ASAP. Once this colour has gone as a solid pack it will only be available as a Multi-pack. A4 or 12 x 12. hodgesbellamy@msn.com

Fox and Friends - Scrapbooking Page

I am back today with another page for my beautiful Boy baby Gift album. I think these little monkey's from Fox and Friends are so cute and really finish off this page beautifully. I added some Die cut Little Leaves using the Bigshot to cut them out and sponged ink around the edge of the page. A very quick and cute page for any "Cheeky Monkey"..

Fox and Friends - Baby Card

With babies coming from everywhere at the moment I thought this set would make a beautiful baby card. Quick and simple. This card has been Embossed using the Big Shot and Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Stamped using the little turtle from Fox and friends and a greeting using the very versatile Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp set all from the New Autumn Winter Mini catalogue. Completed with some INcolour Baja Breeze Ribbon.

NEW FEATURE Stamp Set- Fox and Friends

I just love this set Fox and Friends and thought I must create a little more to show you just how versatile this little set can be. As many of you know I have been busy creating Baby Albums for friends and Family and the pages you will see this week are a Baby shower gift for someone Special. Working with a 8x8" Album has been a challenge so I look forward to sharing these pages with you. You will not see Photo's as the album is being given at the baby shower for the parents to add the photo's.

Featured in the Autumn Winter Stampin Up Mini Catalogue this wonderful little Set is available in Wood or Clear mount, saving you Money and space(More space means more sets.Right LOL).

Teamed up with the A little Treat Stamp Set these animals just look beautiful floating through out the air. Stamped in Pale Plum, Sage shadow, Baja Breeze and So Saffron INK(many of these colours will be retiring August 2010).

New Feature of the Week- Daisy Dash Jumbo Wheel

I have been undecided about purchasing the Daisy Dash wheel for such a long time, But received it as a Gift from my Secret Sister just last week. And I LOVE it. Who would have thought 1 little wheel (OK Jumbo Wheel) would have had so many wonderful uses.

Many of you have nightmare's over the thought of your wheels, so please remember I am always available for 1 on 1 lessons at the Project Fun nights in Windale and I always have my wheel guide on hand and ready to be used. The wheel guide is definitely a god send if you a trying to make your wheels go straight. For just $18.95 you really will be lost without it.

I love the Look of this card and it really does make me think of a really crisp, clean and quick card. Wheeled with the Daisy Dash Jumbo wheel in Rich Razzleberry onto whisper white and finished with some Rich Razzleberry Polka dot ribbon(the reverse as used, is plain).

Eastern Blooms - Secret Sister Card

During the recent Secret Sister I participated in I was sent this lovely card by the wonderful Gemma, I am so glad she sent it to me it has inspired me to get this wonderful set Eastern Blooms out and make use of a set I had managed to let slip to the bottom of the pile. I am sure there are many of you with sets that have slipped way to the bottom and may often be forgotten about, leave me a comment with the name of the set and I would be happy to share some inspiration on what can be done with that forgotten set you have.

Eastern Blooms - Scrapbooking Page

I started with this Pink Passion 12 x 12 card stock, sad to think very soon it will be on the retired list (Stock up now before it's to late). And I am so pleased with my finished results. The large flower in the Eastern Blooms Stamp Set making cutting out these flowers so quick and easy, add to that a little Bling and before you know it the page was finished. This is the first of many pages you will see posted without photo's. I am making an album for a gift and the idea is they will add the photo's they wish to fit on each page. Watch closely as this album unfolds and becomes beautiful. Don't forget I love to see your creations and would love you to share them with us all.

Eastern Blooms - Card

I have been busy creating wonderful samples to showcase this weeks feature Stamp Set Eastern Blooms. This stamp set is wonderful for using your Stampin Write Markers with as it allows you to give individual colour to each of the little flowers. Stamped in Rose Red and Night of Navy this card was finished off with some Rose Red Stitched Ribbon.

Card Folder Gift Idea- Raspberry Tart DSP

I was invited out for Lunch today for someone very special and thought my Special Friend might just like this wonderful Card Holder as a Beautiful Gift. Filled with 4 Wonderful Cards and Featuring this Weeks Special the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper It came together just beautifully.

If you also like this card folder, I can give you a little hint that it will be the Feature Project of an upcoming Event I am holding Very soon... Leave a comment or contact me for more information.
