Jan: Just sign on the dotted line

By the time this post appears I'll be on my way to New Zealand via Hong Kong. you didn't know ...where have you been? I'm off to watch the Rugby World Cup for 8 weeks. I'm a BIG rugby fan (not that big now I've joined Slimming World!) so I need a big autograph book to collect all those signatures. I've made mine from a couple of strips of chipboard that I covered with Basic Grey Out of Print paper. These are lovely papers, all different texts and finishes,some are clear, some look as though they have been gessoed. I'm hoping to get at least all the England squad so wish me luck.

Jan, Tri- shutter cards

Hi folks I thought I'd share a couple of Tri-shutter cards I've made using some lovely stamps from the shop. The first card was made using the fab Basic Grey basics manilla paper ( I really like using this range for mens cards) and my new favourite ...Harlequins stamp from Purple Onion I've used my skull and crossbones border stamp to create the panels on this card. This stamp is so versitile. I've even cut out individual skulls to decorate the edges of the middle panel. To add a bit of bling I've used icicle stickles on the eye sockets! I've also trimmed the edge of the panels with my other favourite Happy Birthday border stamp.

If you haven't made this crads before have a go they're really easy.
