what to do with a brown paper bag

I had some brown paper bags that I was to use for something else but they were a bit big, so have decorated them as gift bags. A very simple idea but I think they look quite nice, way better then store brought.
The flowers are made using the Blossom party die, I love this die is versatile. I will give instructions on how to make the flowers in a few weeks when my busy time for school and preschool eases up.

baby gift

I have always had a problem making baby cards, I have lovely stamps, lovely inks and lovely ideas to CASE but every time I try they don't turn out quite right. It seams to be by curse of card making. I am sure if we all think not to hard we will each be able to name a stamp set or style that for some unknown reason we cant make any thing with, mine is Baby bundle I love this stamp set and have seen wonderful cards made with it but when I try my brain and fingers fail. So I am not going to show you a Baby Bundle card ( I am trying and one day I will make a card that I thinks is worthy of going on my blog) but have used butterfly prints and extreme elements. I like the way this card has turned out not very baby but cute so I know the lady who is getting it will love it.The little bag is so easy to make I cant believe I haven't made one before inside it I have add some sheepskin booties. That is why in the photo the bag looks bumpy.

Any way got to go and pick up child from preschool.

JAI meets Inkspirations

I know again I am saying sorry for not been around but I have been super busy with preschool and school it seems to be that time of year.
So I thought I would take a kick start and do two challenges this week, well one card a theme of Christmas from Just Add Ink and colour from Inkspirations that have a new blog for their challenges at http://www.inkspirations-challenges.blogspot.com/ the colours been.I have used for the background a technique I have seen on USA blogs lately I think they were shown it at the regional's. You take die cut images here I have used merry detail I love this little die have used it so many times. you place the cut images on to the back ground piece of card which if you wanted to have all ready stamp onto, I have used two way glue to attach. After this you need to run it though the big shot again with a heavy embossing detail folder, if that make sense. I have used Petal-A-Plenty. The die cut images blend into the card beautiful. At the bottom is my first example I thought it looked to busy with the many images and colours, so for the finally card I have only used the whisper white snowflake, in person it looks very crisp against the Crumb Cake (Kraft).
