Othe LOs from the "Around the Houses" CJ

Heres a pic of the finished first part of the " Favourite Things" CJ. I added the little rosette as well as the title afterwards. I think the title really suits the subject!


I was also impressed with layout, as it looks simple and clean as well as quite smart








The products i used:





The background: Red Core'dinations card





The papers: White paper with a random design stamped on it.





The Inks: Stazon black ink and Clearsnap petal pad, brown





The Title: White chipboard letters (not sure of the make as i misplaced the packet)





The Corners: Xcut Silhouette corner punch





The Transfers: Hampstead by Docrafts/papermania





Templates: Rosette by papermania











Baking has been a newer thing with me, in the fact that I wasn't very good at it. My friend made the mistake of buying me a cake book for last christmas, after I tried some internet cake recipes. She was one of my "tasters", (I really mean guinea pigs! ;)) before christmas last year.





I took these butterfly cakes to my local crop a few months back and the group liked those along with my victoria sponge cake. However, there was enough left to take home to my family, who were happy with both the butterfly cakes and the victoria sponge cake. I mean that before I went home, there was only crumbs left!














'Bucket List'



This is the second LO for the member CJ "Bucket List". I had to scrap two things i thought the participant had to do, for example spend time pampering themselves.

The two things i decided the participant should do were, "pamper yourself" and have "some me time". I used two recipes for home made beauty products. I know that this member didn't have lots of time to herself with family and work commitments. So I thought this would be totally appropriate. Plus all the things needed for the recipes were all things she either had at home or able to buy from the supermarket.

The products I used:

The backgrounds:Henbury Lane A4 paper pack

The top layer: Vellum A4 pack

The Title: Papermania black glitteration stickers

The Images: Me Time Anya, The Greeting Farm digi stamps

Pens: Promarkers:

For Bath Anya: Hair yellow (Y657), hair band: Antique pink (R346), Skin: Blush (O729)Bubbles: Amethyst (V626), Bath:Mint green (G637).

For Me Time Anya: Bathrobe (including hair towel) Amethyst (V626) & Lilac (), Face pack: Caramel (O727), Hair: Spice (O346)

Brads: glittery and black papermania

I really like Promarkers for the fact that I'm able to colour over and over and the colour doesn't get wrecked :)

And I can add shades by just going over the area.

aww im just gushing about Promarkers sad eh? ;)

Will be adding more of my LOs later. I'm also going to be adding some of my cards and I'd like to know what you think of them ok?
