Up Up and away in my beautiful balloon.

When new Tonic Studios dies arrive, sometimes I sit for a while staring at them and turning them around and looking at them in different ways. That's just what I did when I received my Rococo Round Bauble die...

...and that was when I saw a Hot Air Balloon. Perfect for a Bon Voyage card - so that's what I have made here! 

It's a perfect blue sky up in the Highlands today - perfect for a ride in a Hot Air balloon.

No news on the house situation to report as yet...still waiting...and waiting...

Hope you have sunshine where you are.

A little crafting

I've used one of the fabulous header dies from Tonic Studio's  celebration set to cut the top of this 5x7 card. The Rococo Christmas present die also works wonderfully as a birthday present. The background is embossed with one of Tonic's embossing folders. I just love embossing folders , don't you?

It's been good to get in the craft room and make some cards today. I also finished off a cushion I was making, cleaned out the fridge, and baked a loaf of bread, so all in all, not too bad an achievement day.

Time to make the evening meal now.

Bye for now

Boxes and boxes.....

Here is the canvas I was working on. The stars are cut with Tonic Studio's  new star ornament dies. I am itching to work on another canvas now!

Our house sale is progressing, but there are still another couple of weeks wait until it's all signed and sealed, so we have to be patient. Waiting is hard though!
In the meantime we've started packing things like books, and our once tidy house now looks like something exploded in it! Now, you may know that I like boxes...
but teeny ones that I have made myself.

It's-a-driving me crazy! But at least I don't need to worry so much about the mess when I am crafting as we are no longer having to show viewers around !

Time to go glue something!
Bye for now

Just flitting by....

This card uses the new Fanciful Flutter keepsake die from Tonic Studios. Perfect for any occasion. Here I have used some shiny pink cardstock to show off the lovely detail on this diecut. To see more of Tonic's lovely products pop over to Blog Tonic.

We're still waiting on news about our homesale...waiting is hard. We can't start packing our stuff until we get a firm offer, so we carry on as before until such times as we do.

I'm busy working on a canvas at the moment...something different for a wee change. Time to go get painty!

Have a lovely day

Semi circle dies from Tonic Studios.

These Indulgence semi dies from Tonic are lovely! I took a regular 6 by 6 inch card blank and scored each side in half to create this card with a centre pop out area that will still fold flat for posting. The centre pop out was a separate 6x6 piece, scored and diecut. There is an inner pop up as well, so it is quite a dimentional card.
If you'd like to see what the card looks like when it is folded for posting, pop over to Blog Tonic for a little more detail.

Bye for now
