Giving it the beans...

Hello lovely people,

I see I have a few new followers so welcome along and I'm so happy you chose to follow me :-)

It looks like summer might finally be here...ok, probably shouldn't get too excited but I am certainly going to enjoy this weekend!  Dr Hubby and I started the weekend last night with a glass of Pimms whilst watching the tennis - lovely!

And you know what else Saturday means...a new challenge at Totally Gorjuss :-)  This week we have the theme of 'Anything Goes with Circles' so you have pretty much free reign as long as we can see some circles on your creation.

I decided to make this little circular tag;

I have used a TGF stamp that hasn't seen ink for a little while but she is just so cute and I thought she would look great with pink hair :-)

I am loving my new tiny tag sentiments from LOTV and they are perfect for tucking in under some flowers.

Oh and in case you are wondering about the post title, 'giving it the beans' is what Dr Hubby calls it when he puts his foot to the floor in our little sports car and the image is a Bean so there you have it!

Ok, I can't resist showing you one more little angled view...

A cheeky notebook

Hello lovely people,

Wow, my feet have hardly touched the ground for the last few days.  I had a fab bank holiday weekend with family and ate LOADS of cake :-)  My mum made some yummy carrot cake and I made chocolate orange cupcakes...

I have then been so busy making cards that I haven't had time to blog anything.  So, I thought I would just share this little notebook that I made.

The pages are all offcuts and the outer covers are from some brown cardboard packaging so I think I did well on the recycling front!  I used my bind-it-all to punch the holes and add the 3/4" wire binding.  You can just see in the next photo that I put pretty DP on the inside of the covers too.

The image was coloured with ProMarkers (done prior to my switch to Copics), then fussy cut and stuck to the front.  I put a layer of matt Mod Podge all over to keep it from getting scruffy when used.  That's also why there are no embellishments as I wanted to make it practical to use.

I would like to enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp challenge which has the theme of 'Anything Goes' this week.

I hope you all had a wonderful time over the bank holiday and saw some of the lovely sunshine that we had here in Gloucestershire :-)

Thanks for visiting,

Hugs,
