Finished a swap!

Hello bloggers!
Today I finally finished my cards for the Great & Easy Recipe Swap over at Little Scrapbook Shop.
Here they are, finished and ready to post. This was fun, but I am really glad to be finished. All that embossing took a lot longer than I expected lol!! We had to make 10 of each recipe card and the finished cards had to measure 12.5 x 12.5cms . Yum! I am looking forward to receiving everyone else's swaps too!!


Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great day!!

Hello again!!
Here are the cards I designed for the June Cybercrop Inspiration Challenge over at Little Scrapbook Shop. To see the image that inspired these cards, click HERE to go the the June CC forums. Its a little freaky looking, but I really love it (thanks Cath!).
I am totally loving BLING at the moment! (Can you tell??)

This is a group shot of all the cards together (pretty nice huh! lol)

To find out the techniques I used to make these cards, click on the forum link above. There is a link with each photo to the technique and also to the products used for each one.

Mothers Day Mini Pocket Book

Good afternoon!
Today I have a little treat for you to make for your mum (or special mother-figure) in your life.
I have created this cute little mini pocket book/album for my mum for Mother's Day this Sunday.

Post edited to add: Thank you to Lana Harvey who showed me the original idea for a little folded album!


You will find the instructions to make this over at Little Scrapbook Shop. Click HERE to go to my step-by-step.

Now I just need to find some nice photos of the kidlets, and I can finish it completely for mum.

Have a great day,

Rak for Vanilla

Good morning Bloggers!!

Today I am typing this to the sound of hammers and banging noises - our garage roof is being replaced at last after the hail storm in December. The weather has fined up enough and for long enough that the workman can get it done. Just wish they had chosen to fix our skylights first cos I am soooo sick of the dark house. Oh well, I a guess I should be grateful they are doing something lol.

So, to the main reason for this entry today. . . .

Here is a photo of a little rak I am sending off to Vanilla today. Vanilla has professed to being a bit of a fan of my ATCs *blush* and I thought she would really like these ones. They are one of a kind (most ATCs I make are one of many in sets) so they are particularly unique. I totally love these and would not part with them except they are going to a totally lovely lady who I know will love them like I do.

The stamps are by Hero Arts. I totally love this style of stamps (I have, er, one or two *blush again*) as they are perfect for ATCs. I have stamped them with Brilliant Blue ink (Stampin' Up!) and created layers my stamping again, cutting out and adhering with dimensionals. I have also added rub-ons from American Crafts, Kaiser bling and ultra-fine glitter.

This is the card they are being sent in to Vanilla. She also liked this card, so I thought it would be a nice touch to send the ATCs in it.
Hope you like them Vanilla!

Hope you have a happy day!!
