It's Halloween Time!!!

Seems no time since last year....we had lots of children trick or treating last year so I decided to stock up on sweets this year and not get caught out this time round!!! I made a couple of these treat bags ( for special friends) using the Mini Muslin Bags from Stampin Up! They are super cute and all I did was stamp

my image straight onto the bag using SU Classic ink! Voila....would make great treat bags for a Birthday or Christmas! ( the bags are £9 for 8 so a steal!!! ). And here is a picture of our VERY decorated front door!!! Hope you have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.

A useful little notepad...

These are really quick and easy to make, I purchased the rings from Ryman (4 in a box). Then using my scallop tag topper punch from stampin up cut paper to size and hey presto done!!! ....you could make them any size and thickness.  These are class gifts for this evenings Ladies who are joining me at the Tin of Cards Class..I'm sure they will find them useful as it's the time of year for making a list!!! The card stock is calypso coral with co-ordinating designer series paper...the Just a note Sentiment is from the Watercolour Wishes project kit, which was perfect for the job!

Celebrate Today Birthday Card..for a man!

This set is so useful with the co-ordinating framelits.  We have a birthday in the house this week...he loves blue so this was fresh looking and cheery...

I have used a little Designer Series Paper to co-ordinate with the colours..

I'm pleased with the result and was a super quick card! 

This stamp set and framelits bundle can be found in the annual Stampin Up Catalogue and would be an excellent first purchase for the new crafter....emmaloudesigns.stampinup.net

Mini Treat Favours.

You will need you Envelope Punch Board for this project. Cut you paper at 3 3/4 x 3 3/4. Place your paper into the envelope punch board, punch and score on all four sides at 1 5/8.     This is how your paper should look.  I used Tesco's finest chocolates ( each treat holder will take 2 ) you get a huge box for approx £4.  Then pop a glue dot on one of the flaps and pull all four corners in ( don't press down keep a nice round shape).  There you have it! Easy Christmas favours for your table...hope you have a go at making them! 

 

Water Colour Wishes...

This is an amazing kit that Stampin' UP! Offer ...its £31.50 which yes is quite a lot but the end results are truly lovely...it took me 2 hours to complete the 20 cards, which are fantastic quality and look like you have spent hours producing watercolour!!!  The kit comes complete with a 12 piece stamp set and is a super gift for a crafter or someone new to crafting....or you could make them for someone and gift them as it comes in a beautiful box!! Love love love this kit, I have done many a kit from SU! but this one has to be my favourite!!!  You can purchase this through me at emmaloudesigns.stampinup.net

You will not be disappointed!!! I hope you make the purchase and enjoy the kit just as much as I did...what a great way to spend an winters evening.....crafting with this lovely Kit!!! Enjoy the pictures!!!

Nice Day For A White Wedding..

I won't bore you with all the details here but just to say I helped to arrange the flowers at Cookham Church for a very large wedding this weekend..yes flower arranging is hard work, demanding and full on! It looked amazing at the end but boy that was a tough couple of days.. I'm still carrying my a' bug' despite early nights so it really took its toll! Totally worth it...enjoy the pics!

A GOLDEN DAY!!!!

My parents celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at the weekend and here are a few of my makes! It was a big undertaking but everything looked lovely!! Stampin UP! Made it easy to co-ordinate the look easily....I

had lots of lovely comments on the day! I adore flower arranging and had lots of fun making the table centre pieces and a large arrangement for the welcome/drinks area....phew just glad it all looked great!
