Stampin up 'Rooted in love' stamp set

Morning all,
              what a busy few days I've had! I've made some changes on my blog, can you see? For those of you who don't know me, I'm Nikki 'the non computer geek', I literally suck when it comes to anything technical (my other half and friends can vouch for that one) But with a lot of determination I've managed to add a few small things :D very proud of myself.

So I produced my 3rd ever youtube video the other day eeeek!! super proud of myself I'll tell ya.

This is the card I made!

What do you think? 

I just love the DSP used in these pictures.

As stated in my youtube video the candy dots used on the sentiment retired a while ago, I suddenly came across them in my drawer ad just had to use them. I'm sorry :(

If you want to watch the video please click on the link provided. This will take you straight to my youtube channel

1x ink pad ( I have used old olive in this card)

small piece of twine (I have used the matching twine, the pack comes with 4 different colours with 4.6m on each spool)
                                                          
x2 tiny pearls (metallic pearls are available, 242 pearls all together, 121 in a silvery colour and the other half in a goldy colour. Unfortunately the cream ones I have used have been discontinued.

Easter weekend

Good evening everyone,

                          Sorry this weeks blog post is later than usual but Easter weekend got in the way. Did you get up to much on the bank holiday weekend?  We spent it in London visiting the natural history museum, Hamleys, m&m, lego, Dr Martens and many more shops all whilst getting drenched!!
We didn't mind as it was a nice break away and change of scenery. Mini me would of been happy sitting on the tube all day! cheap day out hey.

I've only just caught up on all the washing and housework, whoops!!

I have been rather busy over the past few weeks getting ready for our Stampin up onstage convention in Telford this weekend!!  I've packed the suitcase and bags, made 9 display cards to showcase in my new clippy bag, made 36 swaps and made 20 little gifts for my team who will be enjoying a casual meal at Zizzi's on Saturday night. I'm so excited as I cant wait to to see all my fellow crafters AND get my hands on the new annual catalogue.

Whilst we were away in London I fell in love with these beautiful Dr Martens..... my better half purchased them for me so that I could wear them to my convention (nawwww hes so good to me) so whilst I will be sharing most of my pictures from this weekend on Monday, I thought i'd share a picture of my new sparkly boots :D

Have a fab weekend everyone!

Much love
