BAD BAD weather & twisted sketch's!!!

So sunday's we usually have a pj day, we get washed & dressed back into our pj's!! & who would blame us for a day like today, with the heating on too it was so cozy indoor's, take a look outside!!!


Our side fence had blown off, half of it is gone, some of it is hanging completly off, my little draggon fly out there was flapping about like no ones buisnes & my washing line was about to take off, it was spinning around so fast!! I was glad to stay put today & thats just where i stayed, in my scraproom, scrapping the latest sketch's from twisted sketch's, http://www.twistedsketches.org/

OUT with the "old" & IN with the "new"

DEFINATLY & here's starting with some "old" scrap's of MY MINDS EYE!!! I had quiet a bit & could'nt bear to give them away, so i used them like this.....
HAPPY SPRING DAYS








You see the strip's around the edge? They are just strips of paper that i trimmed off a small amount of pp that i had left, if you look closly enough you can proball see that its not a whole piece of pp, & so i did the same here>>>>>






& then i had even less which i was happy about, i was about to call it a day but as i was picking the rest of the scraps up off my desk, i realised i can still use these little pieces of pp for "something" so i came up with this>>>>>






Tags for future present's & cards, they will come in handy!!!




Even kaci played with my scraps too, here is her work>>>>>>


So now i can play with my "new" MY MINDS EYE pp, i have a pizza box full of LIME TWIST & MISS CAROLINE!!!

Thanks for stopping by

A card tutorial

Because i have'nt made a card for a while {& i need to get into more of that habbit!!} & i have'nt done a tutorial in a while either!!

So im brushing of the rust & here goes, hehe

This is my card i made today & even though its a very simple card its a very pretty card, i love how it turned out!!


You will need:
~A piece of white card stock or a ready made card & envelope.
~Mist of your choice, i used tattered angels, silver suger
~some scraps of paper {i used echo park}
~Martha stewart punch's
~A sewing machine {or you can sew by hand?}
~Double sided sticky tape
~glue & smal sissor's

Starting of with a plain white card, you can either buy your card's ready made or just fold over a piece of plain white cardstock, which is what i have done here & using some mist in an old pizza box base!!


Unscrew the whole of the top of the tattered angel's bottle, & pull out the steam, this is how i do my splatt's, because i dont get any surrounding mist that i dont want & because i can control where the splatt's are going more


Select your chosen pp's


& punch out your chosen amount of image's


On the back of the butterfly pp i used a small piece of double sided sticky tape just to anchor it to the other piece of pp so it make's it easier to keep a hole of the pp's when stitching later in the tutorial


Then using my printer, i printed out my sentiment "happy birthday" & cut to size, next i folded the card in at either end like this


& then back out again, like this


& then using small sissor's, cut out a "V" at either end like this


So next i used a small anchor of double sided sticky tape again on the back of my butterfly, stuck it to my card & sewed in straight on to my card like this


& placeing everything else on my card along with a large rhinestone in the centre of the butterfly my card was made!!


I hope you like my card tutorial today & if you have any question's, please ask!!

Whilst we are waiting.................

.....for the newest design team member's to be annouced over at "my scrapbook nook" forum i decided to party it up a bit & get ppl's minds of "the waiting!" & thrown this at them...ok not literally!!! Ok so i just asked if they would take it & use it for inspiration, & WOW what a responce, these ladies are TAL_EN_TED!!!!!!! Ok here is my page, even though im LOVING all the colour at the moment, & when i saw this i knew what i wanted to do, I knew i didnt want to use any colour at all!!!! hehe I LOVED the composition of the ipods all next to each other & all of the circle's in them too So i wanted to create a mono of white's, buuuuut as i was creating the colour was seeping in anyway & this is what i came up with I have some scrap's on my desk that i keep moving around for some card creation's but we'l see what happens to those later Thanks for stopping by!! {{{hugs}}} Sarah xx
