Blog makeover no 2

I recently madeover my blog for a new start, but over the past few weeks I have decided that it was just not me.  So I asked my son to help me come up with a new blog header and side bars for my blog.   I told himeI wanted to keep it simple and clean cut and keep to blue and brown.  This is the new look he came up  with for me, he even designed a new watermark for me.   I am really happy with the new look, much more my style, nice and simple.  Thanks so much James.

Penny Black Hedgehogs

Hi.  Another weekend over and two more weeks until school holidays.  Yay and two weeks off work.  I can't wait.  The kids and I are looking forward to sleeping in and chilling out,  we have a list of movies we want to see, and  friends to catch up with so should be good.  Also  a good time to spend in the craft room and catch up on some scrapbooking.  I was looking at my stamp collection and pulled out a couple of old favourites from penny black.  I just love the penny black hedgehogs and thought it was time to use them again.  I made two cards using the same design and papers, I am into square cards at the moment, and also flowers.

I have stamped this image using memento tuxedo black, and coloured with tombow markers, I have used coluzzle circle cutters, and have layered onto patterned papers, have added flowers from and stampin up and used diamantes and pearls.  The next card is very similar, I have used different penny black stamp and brads and prima flowers mixed with stampin up.

Supplies:  Stamps: Penny black, Card: stampin'up, bazzill basics, pattern paper, ink:memento tuxedo black, accessories: tombow markers, coluzzle circle cutters, brads, pearls, prima flowers, stampinup flowers, pearls,diamantes.
