Well well well
I`ve had a busy week – I was producing some wedding invitaion samples
for Joanna Sheen`s forthcoming show
and it got me wanting to start up my wedding stationery idea again
( only 7 years again did I first try !!!! )
( only 7 years again did I first try !!!! )
Talk about this being totally different from what I planned
I printed off the pages with the view to make a cracker & a matching box to be given as an
anniversary gift – the brief being CELEBRATIONS
Well I had just finished a workshop the day before on how to make this star card.
The idea first seen by `Playwithpaper` on Joanna`s craft forum
I wrote & asked Sue if it was ok for me to use the idea and I just loved the new fold so I changed my mind
& went for this anniversary card instead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In our family with just adore plants and often give them as gifts as the evoke so many memories of different people.
One of mine & my husbands favourite plants is the `Love in a mist ` – so I was thrilled to see it as a backing paper on the New
by Joanna Sheen
The idea behind the card is to have room to add a little gift
in the middle space – it was ideal for some seeds , so I made a little packet for hubby to grow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although it`s a bit girly with the trim it also fits the bill as it`s for an anniversary card
& blue is his favourite colour
This style card means there are lots of space to add the backing papers too
& shows the packet of seeds with the message behind the seeds
The centre panel is using the `love in a mist` image – some peeled paint distress ink has been used to
cover the white edge left on the topper
The card folds up so nicely to create a lovely different card shape with the gift inside
Little embellishments have been used from the cd to add detail and make the
project very personal too
Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my challenge piece
& a big thanks to Paula for making the challenge blog a great sucess

It was 6 years ago since I started using Joanna`s cd`s to make a cracker for the family table
I sent Joanna a photo of the big cracker and after a few e-mails I was asked if I would make some samples for a pending show, I was overjoyed as I knew nothing of the design team or about sample making and I am happy to say I have produced samples every month there after
I adore getting new products and seeing what everyone comes up with and I was delighted to be asked to join the new Joanna Sheen Blog Challenge – Thank you
It was inspired by a sample I made for the Enchanted Dreams show
click here for the piece and there is a worksheet on how to make the gatefold easel card – I will post how the base is made in due course
Often you don`t see friends very much throughout the year and the idea was to bring a
bit of cheer to their family & they can make the mulled wine up for themselves

So all the images come from the
Which I have to say is my all time ever favourite cd

Well hello there !!!!
To say life has been hectic is an understatement
I have had to be very focused what with my sample work for Joanna Sheen , my workshops for Creative Expressions & my 2 nights working back at Tescos – all of which I enjoy and wouldn`t change for the world
Anyhow I thought i`d post this workshop I did to support the sample I made for the new
Nostalgia Collection Cd - by Joanna Sheen
It`s a stunning cd and so useful for Men`s card
but also great for all ages as the images just have that lovely feel of days gone by
So here is a workshop of this sample
Thanks for stopping by – I hope you have enjoyed the cd – Suzanne x
