Well it's Isla's Christening this Sunday so this is the card I've made for her special day.
I used both old and new Spellbinder dies and Martha Stewert around the page punches.
The dies used are Romantic rectangles and one of their first dies the 3 teddy bears all cut from pale pink card and inked up with spunsugar distressed ink.
The dase card is white with a smaller pale pink card topping it and vellum lining to back the punched border. Again vellum was used to mat behind the Romantic rectangle.
As teddy bear heads cut seperately to bodies, I attached them with a spiral of wire to give movement to the card. The sentiment was embossed and peel-off Cross and Grand-daughter used.

A while ago I did a workshop with ladies who attend our
church sisterhood. The age
range of the ladies is 50's to
the eldest of 102yr's young.
I decided to do the Spellbinders
cut-fold-and tuck, doing
embossed coloured background.
All the ladies enjoyed the
workshop and were proud
enough of their work to leave
them at the front of the church
for all other members to see.
I made up packs up for the
workshop and had some left,
but have only just got round
to making them up.
These are my completed cards.

Hi everyone, sorry not been around much lately, lots to do and not much inspiration. I started to look through some past magazines and decided
to use papers and toppers from one of them.
These are some of my efforts, started using silk flowers from my stash and could not 
leave them alone.

Some of you may know that Gordon has asked for crafters to make a piece of art for,or stamp something on, Roberts coffin to make a collage.
Had to give this some thought as Robert had his own style, but I remembered he enjoyed making masks when I first got to know him and was very much into steampunk, so I did my own version for him.

As you may know I work for Robert and Gordon at Once Upon A Stamp. You may also know that Robert has been seriously ill for the past few months. I am sorry to have to let you know that he passed away this morning at 2.15.
As you can understand we are all devastated, none more than Gordon.
I have known Robert and Gordon since they opened Once Upon A Stamp in Chesterfield back in 2004 and they have become dear friends as well as employers. Robert was always a funloving guy and a very talented artist/crafter, sharing his talents with so many. He will be sadly missed by many in the crafting industry and customers of the shop.

I was asked to make a Christening card for a lady at church, for her Great Granddaughter.
I so enjoyed doing this card and need to think of another idea for our Granddaughter, Isla's, Christening in August, will be making that when we return from holiday.
Sorry pic a little dark!!
