Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

What do you all have planned for this weekend?? The weather is meant to be 'Fair ' as in temperature in late teens/low twenties. Paul wanted to mow lawns but I have persuaded him that it's a bit soon for that,  maybe we could leave that a week or two, it is only just 4 weeks post-op, I am going to be strict with his rehabilitation,  there is no hurry right now for things to change, I think that its more important to be fit for eye sight tests etc. That won't be until October though, so I think just re-introducing one little job from the restricted list every few days is enough.  (Soapbox is back in cupboard) 

Now first up today I am sharing one of Our  Danielle's Albums,  she is actually selling this one, It will be sold before you it, Danielle's attention to detail is incredible and she designs some incredible ideas for page details,  fancy folds, flaps and tuck spots,  so incredibly inspirational, anyway enough waffle just look..... (I will share a few pages but to see it properly follow the link below, it will take you to a video where Danielle does a walk through of the whole album, highlighting some of her fantastic page layouts.....

Danielle Alice Album Walk through

I have only shared  few page layouts, the Walk through shows the album perfectly,  Danielle has also got Album Tutorials on her YouTube channel. 

She has been helping me create my first Album, if any of you are looking to start an Album or wsnt some brilliant page ideas go check out her channel. 

Thank you so much Danielle for sharing your Album with us XXX

Creative Stamping Magazine Review 

I thought I’d share this month's Creative Stamper magazine with you, it's Autumn themed free gifts are quite fun and good quality. 

Some great Nature/Woodland themed stamps, Sue and I were saying how you don't often see Badger, Fox and Hedgehog stamps that aren't cartoon, some great leaves and foliage stamps too.

There was a bonus set of Sentiment stamps included too,  some are quite funny! 

The first feature in the magazine uses the free 'Free Downloadable Papers' they are Autumn shades and style too.

This page features different Heat Embossing techniques, the designer uses the techniques to make some great Masculine cards.

This page shares tips and Techniques for colouring Texture Paste to give a different look to backgrounds, we don't always think about using paint to colour texture paste, you can also add glitter and Mica for sparkle too.  I have added the method for creating the coloured paste above.  

This feature uses the free stamps to create some beautiful Autumnal cards for Ladies,  there is a 'How To.....' Create  ink blended Autumn Leaves' 

(If you need me to zoom in more on that technique  let me know). 

This feature is all about making Home Decor, there are some lovely projects, I might have a go at the Box Frame. 

Some lovely Autumnal Backgrounds in this feature,  using 'Faux Bleaching '  Emboss Resist'  'distressed Emboss Resist' , 'Shaker card' and Clear Heat Embossing,  are all used to make do lovely backgrounds. 

These cards all feature an 'interactive ' element that hides the sentiment, a lovely idea.

Now this feature shares projects from the Indigo Blu Magazine kit that I made my challenge card with the other day, its an amazing kit and I love these projects, this feature us actually taken from the Indigo Blu magazine.  

The last feature that I am sharing with you today shows a project that features all of the animal stamps in the set, it even had a perfect sentiment!!

As always with Creative Stamper Magazine  this issue was packed with inspirational projects, great techniques and ideas too.  There are a lot more features than I have shared (just so that you get some surprises if you buy it. I really like this magazine, if you enjoy stamping you will too.

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend Ladies  

Love and Hugs to all of you,
