Bella Bleu and Penny Black...

Awwww I was kindly asked to make a birthday card for a wee baby 4 months old to give his mommy and this Penny Black stamp is ideal...I love this stamp it is one of my all times favourite.

Used su Bella Bleu paper to compliment.

Satmped image and coloured using Pro-Markers and cut the matt to make a tag shape. Stamped using Inkadinkado corner n flourish stamp? onto another piece of complimentary paper and mattted for the tag to sit slightly off . Added satin ribon bow to tag and placed strip under both matts. will add possibly more flowers later..ran out lol and gems to finish.

Will add sentiment later once I have decided on the style.

Birthday cards using SU paper ....

Bella Bleu which is absolutley stunning. For elegance and luxury looking cards this has to be a paper pack in your stash. So far this is my fav paper pack from SU other than Ski Slope.

For my special Moms birthday, which was on halloween, I decided to use Stampin up stamp set Botanical Blooms, embellished with satin ribbon n fibre to match in soft grey, added a butterfly charm to the sentiment to finish.

Long weekend

for the last few days I have been forfulling a large order for xmas cards and finally I have parcelled these up and had them delivered. I must thank however two very important people in helping me for without their help I'm pretty sure I would not of got this accomplished. So my first Thankyou goes to Stacey.....she kindly popped over for a few hours and sat with me making n cutting the bases while I did the colouring in ...we ate cake of course and plenty of chat...hugs Stacey for all you did ))) (((. Secondly to my bestest friend , my hubby, who has had to not only put a 12-13 hour work shift in but come home to do the chores .....including dinner...I do love you so very much xxxxx Thankyou babe mwahh. ( repay you later wink wink nudge nudge lol )

For info....

Those who are unwilling to give to charity are the lowest form of life..... and Hanna Stamps is in that category...a selfish uncaring woman who is nowt but self self self orinentated...




For those who are wondering what thisis about it simply is principle not the money ..I dont want HS monies but if she really does want to be true to her word then simply all she had to do was issue a cheque to a charity of my choosing..
Have a fab day and for those fighting for those who are worse off than most enjoy what you do and dont let big companies put your down....... I salute those who unselfishly donate their projects/cards to chairty without personal gain.
Have great day

HANNAH STAMPS LIES....EITHER THAT OR SHE CANNOT READ

WOW with a sarcastic email I have been told I was paid....well I can assure everyone I have not and even though this woman is smiling I hate to be the one to burst the bubble on such a big head!!! She wont pay and has no intention of paying ..wants the publicity yes esp when its freebut wont honour the promises made ...tuts
Just cards issues its magazines every 3 months now I sure went to school and learnt that July is 3 months ago!!! Just cards issued no15 the fall issue which again I was publised and notified HS....now who is stupid with egg on her face dohhhhhhh..
I fight for principles and if people dont wish to honour their obligatins then say so dont send sarcastic emails bragging about how many hits I have on my shop or blog...that is so darn childish and I just laff at you more...pathetic really .
Im sorry but people are mailing me too saying this is not the first time this certain company has had a bad reputation and now I can see why.
Oh and if you have a prob be ware she gets sarcastic and arrogant in her mails...customer relations courses are not that expensive by the way !!!!

Snowball fight....

I love n adore Penny Black stamps and this is just so cute. Used Su punch , papers and Basic grey. Image was coloured using pro markers with added cosmic shimmer glitter. Organza ribbon to finish with a small die cut snowflake in the rh corner.

Publications/rewards

For some time now I have been donating 99% of my cards made to charity by either selling or donating. Recently however I have been priviledged to have some cards published and knew that any contributions either payment or stamps will be sold off n given to charity too. I have however come across a certain company "Hannah Stamps " that although state if you get published I find that actually trying to get the payment can be a nightmare, just a reply to emails would be nice!! 48 hours for a reply is stated hmmmm it as been 2 weeks maybe more now !! well I know if any more hassle I will contact the publishers and make sure no more of any of my cards using Hannah stamps will get published, I simply will ask these do not make the magazine.
It has never been for the money that I enter cards for publication but the joy of seeing my hard work appreciated and knowing the funds will donate to my charities of choice.

~~~ after issuing another email with againno reply it appears they have blatently decided to change the homepage after it was pointed out that the changes were not implemented, however anyone who had their work using Hannah Stamps must realise that prior to these changes the payments still should be honoured as these were implemented after publication in just cards issue 15 ...tut tut Hannah stamps disgraceful !! to not honour your published customers is bad business!!
