Ruby Wedding Anniversary Album

I managed to get the album finished on Friday evening ready for my friend to collect it yesterday afternoon. She was delighted with it.
If you look carefully at my pages you might see the sketch from Kathy's Waffle Sketch File a couple of times but I'm afraid I bottled out of the double LO using the 'stretched' sketch...I could get it to work properly!

and finally, the box

I have used an assortment of paper snippets, a few new sheets, some freebies and an assortment of embellishments and am not sure where most of it came from (apart from in my craft room :)
Thanks for looking, I hope you like it.

What's on your work desk?

Well peeps, Wednesday has crept up on us once again and it's time to show my messy desk to the world again! Not sure what I'm talking about? Then take a look at Julia's Stamping Ground and all will be revealed.

I'm currently making an album for a lovely couple who are celebrating their Ruby wedding anniversary this weekend so I will carry on working late until it's finished, by Friday at the latest :0 


I wish I was a tidy worker but I have tried, believe me, but I can't work unless everything is out around me lol (oh and I need the ever present coffee on my desk) Even when I had the shop and tried desperately to keep it tidy, it didn't work. I do sort everything and put stuff away before I plough through the next order though......then the mess all starts again :)


My target for this week is to get through every post on WOYWW, something I haven't done yet.


Thanks for looking and I will be back later.

Here comes the bride

I can't believe that I have blogged every day so far this week!! Today it's a wedding card which was commissioned by DD's best friend's nana.......have I got the apostophes in the right place there?

I have had this Stampendous stamp for years and still love it although it doesn't get an airing very often now. So, onto the card: Materials-image as before (stamped twice, glittered with Glamour Dust and decoupaged), flowers - Prima E Line, MS border punch, leaves - Carl punch, Card Candy - Craftwork Cards, papers - Stampin Up, gems, ribbon and lace from my stash.

Now I need to make another wedding card for the same couple as DD is going to the evening reception on Saturday. I'm also making an album for a Ruby Wedding anniversary so need to get on with that.

I wonder how long it will last with me blogging every day. I think it might have been my new year resolution, oops!

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for calling :)

Almost the weekend!

Does anyone know where time is going? The weeks just seem to disappear along with my time management!!

Yesterday disappeared in a blur and I got slightly distracted from the order of services. Well, I say distracted...............I didn't actually make any *blushing icon* But this is what I did make

On the stand
In the box. The lid has an acetate panel so the card can be seen. I don't make many Bookatrix cards now, just special orders. I got put off slightly when I had to make 16 with boxes for a shop!!!

The phone charm is for one of my best customers. It is made with black and clear glass beads.

I still feel ropey as I can seem to shift this head cold/sinus problem. Not good when you spend all day with your head down.

Right, I really must do the order of service today. I have the seating plan to do as well and I am delivering them on Saturday. Next week I am doing the favours and then that is mum and dads stationery finished. I have a leaving card to do today too so if I revisit, I need a size 10 up the bum!!
