Hi all, just a quickie today I really wanted share with you again while surfing around the craft world on the internet I found this video on how to create spiral roses and fell in love with as always. These roses seem to be the new thing with digi scrap kits and that is basically how how found this video. I really wanted to make obne of these so I could photograph it to add into a kit I am making. I am kind of thinking this will be another freebie kit not sure when it will be ready though at the moment as I have been really tied up with trying to retrieve all my craft files aft a very stupid mistake on my own part really. It has taken me two whole weeks to get them all back onto my PC so a little advice make sure you have all your digi stash backed up in more than one place, I know that is what I will be doing now, really dont want to go through that again. Now I have a load of lessons to catch up on, anyway here is the video they look so easy to make and I will be having a go today hopefully, if I can get some good photos for you I will post them up maybe this weekend, one never knows what life will throw at you as a distraction from what we would really prefer to be doing I guess you know what I mean lol.

Colouring With A Digi Tablet
Today I want to share this video with you from Fred She Said, I just love all her products and I came across this tutorial yesterday. She makes it look soooooo easy but I have spent most of today practicing this technique and I it is wel just a tad fiddly, but I guess with more practice it will get easier.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, it certainly inspired me to have a go.

New Blinkie - More Freebie News
Today I have been playing around in PSE and made myself a blinkie for my blog, it was actually one of the lessons that I am enrolled on. I have been having so much fun there and learnt tons of techniques from simple editing to actually designing my papers and embellishments for digital scrapbooking. But the great thing about the papers I have created is that they are in high res and are also suitable for printing and using for my vurtual craft work. I like so much that I can create something to my own taste and colour to suit exactly what I need. No more trawling the shops and internet for that must have stash.
My next project on the digital side of things will be a new header for my blog, my only problem is that I can be very indecisive and I spend more time choosing a theme colours etc lol. Well I hope you like the new blinkie, when I get really good at this designing lark maybe I could offer my services to others, now that will be a fabulous event to look forward to. At the moment I am just finishing of my first whole kit, so keep a look out as there will be some fab paper freebies in the kit for you all to print off or even use in your own digi scrapbooks.
Hopefully it will be ready for download by the end of this week, but for now here is a preview for you.
Have a great week.....

No Crafting Work
What a couple of weeks, done no crafting at all due to suffering with toothache and visiting the dreaded dentists chair. Well with teeth now sorted - I hope my Dyson decided to die on me and that was painful, I can I possibly live without my beloved Dyson so having spent all day searching for the best deal it would semm that Argos have it going at the moment. Although I am not to thrilled about having to part with the best of £200 its a great saving on prices else where. So my thanks to Argos
Onto something a little more crafty well storage more than crafty, I have been spending some time on sorting out my ribbon storage. After finding some fabulous draw files in Tescos for only £2.99 thats another bargain up my sleeve I guess. I mus say I am really pleased with the find and i now have some great lokking and tidy too ribbon storage.
This is how my ribbons looked before and after
What a difference I absolutely love them and I can thing of many other ways to utelize thes draws so I will be collecting a couple more on my next visit to Tescos. There storage capacity is great I must have at least 50 strips of card which I made myself to wind the ribbons onto.
So if you fancy a ribbon makeover pop into to your local Tescos and treat yourself to some.

Freebie Papers
Well I havent been able to blog these last few months as we have been having some not so nice family issues to deal with and I have not been up to blogging, but I am back now and hope to try and put the last months behind me now. I am sorry if anyone has missed me being around I sure have missed keeping up with all your blogs and my new year resolution certainly went a bit pear shaped.
So for my first post on my return is to offer you a freebie paper pack, these are some papers I have created in photoshop and have been made at 300dpi so the quality for printing should be good. They are part of a digital kit I am creating and I hope to have the whole kit available as a freebie in the next few weeks. You can download using the link below, I hope you like them.

Cupcake Wrappers
But now I think they are calling it Cupcake Couture.
Today has been a fun day creating cupcake wrappers, after a visit to Hobbycraft yesterday and browsing in the baking section I happened to notice the price of those fancy cupcake wrappers woa how expensive are those then. So today I set to making my own template to print and cut out. I know thse are not the fancy lacey look ones but equally as pretty around those cupcakes at special occasions. Requests for different colours are welcome just let me know in comments.
To download just click on the picture and save as, or you can download here
