However the ladies and gent did express a desire to have a play with the water drop Designed by Ryn and the very popular Butterfly Set by Hobby Art and here are just a few of the samples from our blending workshop hope you like them.

The bottom card I added a few butterflies to and a few crystals just to add a bit of sparkle.

Cards from Remembrance Set.

Just to show that Cards CAN be made using the Remembrance set and it doesn't have to be JUST for remembrance Poppies come in a variety of colours from red and blue to yellow and orange.....Here I have used blue to turn the poppy into a Himalayan poppy .....I hope this give you a little inspiration.

Now onto Butterflies and Grasses.....The grass is a stand alone silhouette  stamp one of those useful stamps that is a must have in every stampers stash not just for foreground but using second or third generation ink as a background stamp too.

St George's day Hobby Art Samples World War One Layout.

 

The layout came to be when I saw the beautiful set of Remembrance Stamps From Hobby Art, and this being 100 year Centenary of the Great War I decided to do a Scrapbook page....easier said then done oh the stamps were fab and the inspiration was there the problem was the photos!

Having asked around my family and drew a blank yes we had Uncles and my Granddad was there  in Flanders Fields...but alas no photos. Back to the drawing board. Then we saw a friend of ours  Ted who kindly offered to let me use copies of his family Photo's Took a week to get them to me Then I hurriedly went into town to have them scanned so I could keep the originals to give back to him ....That done I bought a sheet of gift wrap with postcards on changed the dates on the post marks and away I went.  TED BILL AND VICTOR are names of My Uncles who where born before War war broke out indeed Uncle Vic was Named for Victor Kitchener of  "Your country needs you"  fame . The remembrance set is another easy set to use not just for cards as I hope I have shown here....

Commemorative Set. Hobby Art

Hi there everyone I know it's unusual for me to blog but I had to share the Brand New Hobby Art Commemorative Set with you . This fantastic set is really made with Scrapbookers in mind althought to show it's versatility I have made a couple of cards to show you here.  And as it's the Centenary of the Great War what better time to bring this out. A few people have asked me what would I use it for well think of the cards you could make for Military charities ....or a retirement card from the military or even a glad you are home safe for someone who has been on a long tour....or to someone who is just your hero cut out their name and randomly stamp the medals on the letters... so many possibilities, dare you use your imagination.
Have a very crafty day. xxx

Hobby Art March DT Sample's

I LOVE the Brand New Wonderful Day set  I could play with this set and come up with a different type of card each time from the top card which I think id quiet zingy  and fresh the middle one with the border that I thought was going to be so hard but which stamped perfect first time I am so impressed with the quality and the ease with which I can do things with these sets I could and no doubt will play for hour's The last card in the set is a wreath which to me has a Victorian feel .....I hope you like these and they inspire you to try these lovely stamps. xx
