I've made these cards using Hero Arts Cupcake clear stamp set. Some pretty ribbons and doodlebug papers, Pebbles rub- ons and Craftwork cards birthday circles. On the second card I stamped the image onto vellum to make it look like the actual cake case. I added glitter glue for a bit of sparkle.
I've used some pretty papers from the Stampin' Up range. I cut out Cuttlekid Pig using pink velvet paper and black cardstock.. I added a Craftwork Card birthday circle to the centre of a Heidi Swapp plasma flower. I've attached 3 Poinsietta Dew Drops from Robin's Nest using glossing accents.
I love this stamp from Wild Rose Studio called Cat in Tree. I've stamped the image several times and 3D it. I added punched out flowers and liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers. I then mounted it onto orange co'rdinations cardstock then onto white and used Pebbles Basics orange flower/dot cardstock attached to white base card.
These are some fun and unusual pages I did using acetate. Just treat it the same as any scrap layout. The golf page is just the flip side of Jamie - the pages look like they're floating. Cut layering mats the same size for both sides - that way you won't see any edges from the other. Attach to acetate using your usual means of adhesion.
Here's just a few of the scrap pages I did on my Crop Weekend. Yep another trip to Bognor Regis with friends, we had a great weekend - did'nt manage to do quite as many pages this year, but still had fun!! Stay tuned for more pages coming soon!

Bigshot Pro
I love the new Bigshot Pro from Sizzix. A must have if your a serious crafter and scrapbooker as this is a big die cut machine, but just as easy to use as the original bigshot machine. The dies are 12 x 12 and are great for shaped cardstock, bags, boxes and more. You can still use your other sizzix dies on this machine, which means you can cut more than one thing at a time. Great for home, schools or the office and it has great storage underneath. www.theglitterpot.co.uk

I'm married to Steve, I've got 3 children - Claire, Lisa & Scott and 2 lovely grandchildren - Jamie & Bethanie. I also have a stupid but very cute dog called Rolo. We love him to bits!

Cricut die cutting machine
The Cricut machine is fantastic. Its quick and so simple. Each cartridge comes with an easy step by step book. Cuts and prints images upto 5.75 inches big. Great for scrapbooking and cardmaking. Its a stand alone machine so for those computer challenged people its great, just switch on and go. Change the blade for cricut pens and it will draw the images instead of cutting - gives a stamped look. I'd give it a 10 out of 10. If you want something bigger and like to cut or print images upto 12 inches then go for the Cricut Expression. Does exactly the same just bigger.
