WOW!!!! amazing savings while stocks last, oh and a card ;-)

Hello,

WOW! have SU! got some great savings on their last chance list now, they have dropped the price of LOADS more stuff on the retirement list HERE. Grab them now while stocks last as they have already sold out of quite a few things. I will be placing orders over the next few days so if there is anything you need then better get in quick as I cannot guarantee how long they will last... especially at these crazy prices!!!

So, onto the card. It was a quick but dimensional card made using the great "To the Nines Speciality" papers (retiring) on a kraft base and a sentiment made with the Just Perfect alpha and a Bit of Birthday Cheer, gotta love those star brads (also retiring and now 50% off, yay!)

I love this wide striped ribbon too, as you can see I raised some of the squares and topped some with Crystal Effects, yum!

Well that's it from me today,

another busy weekend ahead, kids parties and painting ;-)

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to email me your order asap

Hugs Sarah-Jane xx

Morning!

WARNING, LONG POST!

I hope you are all having a lovely day, What a busy day yesterday was for us, voting, MIL and FIL came over and most important Neil went to a meeting about Zacks new school!! He went on his own and I stayed home with the little ones. Neil was very excited about the school and thinks Zack will love it there so that's good, I'm not sure tho as he is my youngest and I am going to miss him terribly! Anyone who knows Zack would tell you that he is one of those kids who is very entertaining and , well, there is never a dull (or quiet) moment when he is here!! It's so lovely having him around :0)

Josh is coming home today too, not 'till about 7pm though so I hope he isn't late as I'm going to work tonight and then I won't see him 'till the morning, geee it has been different with only 2 kids around, I hope he has had a lovely time..

Right, I have bored you enough with all this waffle! Onto the calender...

I have used Bashful Blue DSP (designer paper which is available in the share I have organised), Bashful blue striped Grosgrain Ribbon (again in a share) Beer Jug from "Cheers to You" and Fathers Day sentiment from the, very handy, "Occasional Greetings" set.

I cut out the Jugs and mounted them onto foam pads and some of the words from the sentiment too, as you can see from the pictures above, I also used some woodware fluffy stuff and coated it in Dazzling Diamonds glitter, then heated with my heat gun to make the head of the beer. I used a waterbrush and Summer Sun & So Saffron ink pads to colour the Jugs.

This months was actually quite easy to do in the end, I love this cheers to you set, so handy and a bargain price too!! If you would like to purchase any SU! goodies or are interested in either of my shares please contact me for further information, details in side bar :0) and

don't forget if you order anything from me until the end of June you will get a ticket for each item ordered put into the Candy Draw for a free stamp set, whoo hoo!!
