I made this card with another of the new Sweet Ebony stamps from Funkykits. I can't tell you who it's for because they read my blog. I just hope she likes it.
This is my first creation using my Bind-It-All Machine. Have been meaning to use it for a while but thought it was going to be tricky, turned out to be quite simple, so here it is.
I have posted both pics as I didn't know which one was best as the first seems too light and the second too dark.
I made this card last week but didn't get time before now to show it. My mum came round for a crafting day last Wednesday. We had great fun and the day slipped by in a flash. I'm really pleased with how these turned out.
And the winner is ..........
Have a great day everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings and for all the lovely comments you leave me on my blog. I also hope you get your item at the top of your crafting wish list soon!!

Well here are my new goodies. Believe it or not this is not all of them!! ( Please note i'm not a greedy person, I just know how to shop!! lol especially when it's for new crafting goodies) I couldn't get it all in the pics. The cuttlebug die above was reduced to $1 (about 50p) that is how cheap it was over there.
Now you can all see why I had trouble stopping myself from buying things!
I really can't wait to have time to sit and play. 
Hi Everyone, I got back just under a week ago from a fantastic holiday to Florida. As you can see by the photos we went to do all the theme parks. These pics were taken in Disney's Magic Kingdom. The top pic is Cinderella's castle and the bottom is one from the parade. This is by far the best holiday I have been on. The temp was hot about 115 each day. The theme parks were amazing but I would say the magic was definatley in Disney.
I didn't get much of a chance to tell everyone I would not be in blog land as we only booked 2 days before we went!! ( not good when your packing for four). Not a relaxing holiday as we were on the go all the time.
Now to tell you about the fun part...... The craft shops or should I say Stores... as they are HUGE! I thought I was in Crafting heaven. Had to buy to extra suitcases out there, one for hubby and kids clothes ect that they bought and yes... one for all the craft stuff. I really don't know how I managed to stop myself from buying anymore. With the good exchange rate at the moment everything was sooo cheap. I managed to get my much wanted Cricut machine for £90.
I bought it in Walmart. Even the supermarkets have about 6 isles of cardmaking products.
I will posts the pics of my new goodies tomorrow as I am still suffering from Jet lag and a lot has been going on here just of late.
Will blog again tomorrow and should I not post I have moved to America and found a job in Walmart he he!!!
