How fun was this weeks sketch here at {2s4y}...our Sponsor is an online furniture store and we were asked to choose an image from the catalogue of {living rooms direct} and use this as the colour scheme for our card. I had so much fun trying to find an image that I actually ended up saving about 6 of them to my hard drive and I will probably use them as colour inspo again at a later stage.
I chose the {butterfly rug} as my colour scheme and teamed it with Kazan's gorgeous sketch #34
And this is how my card turned out - actually it was my second attempt. I didn't like the first one and tore it up. So glad I started a new card because I am REALLY pleased how it turned out.

TITLE: The Golden iPod
DATE: 08/30/2009 01:53:00 PM

I promised you that I would let you know more about the special edition iPod shuffle you may be able to win. Of course, as you may have already guessed this has something to do with AVON ;)
AVON is introducing a brand new Designer Fragrance from {christian lacroix}, named Absynthe which boasts a captivating, mysterious blend of sexy florals and rich woods inspired by the magic of absynthe. The bottle looks gorgeous too and what's even better, there is one scent for HER and one for HIM.
Now, what has all that to do with the golden iPod? Easy - any order for a bottle of Absynthe for HER between now and 12 November 2009 will get their name in the hat for the possibility to win a special edition iPod shuffle in gold.
This perfume is fabulous. A designer Fragrance for half the price you would pay on the high street. Don't forget with Christmas coming ever so close, you would grab yourself a fantastic bargain at only £20.00 per bottle! This price is set and will not go up - however there may be a possibility for me to offer you all a 15% discount for all orders placed in October. So you still have some time to think about it.
I am also happy to provide you with a sample piece of fabric, spritzed with Absynthe - so you can make up your mind if you like it or not. This feature will be available from 7 October 2009.
In the meantime - if you are looking for some fabulous value scents...did you know you can get AVON's top sellers {little black dress}, {far away} and {perceive} are right now on half price sale for only £2.99 per bottle?? Yup, that's right 30ml of Eau de Perfume for under £3.00. Did anyone say stocking fillers *wink wink*? I already have quite a number of orders for those babies - contact me if you are interested. My next order will be placed on 8 September 2009, so you better get in quick. Those perfumes will be back up to £6.00 after.
My favourite is Little Black Dress: a very fresh and inoffensive scent - the perfect fragrance for those Summer and Autumn nights :)
But it gets even better - a selection of all 50ml fragrances are on superb offer as well. Buy one at normal price and get a second one of your choice for only £1.00. I grabnbed myself two bottles of {jet femme} for a total price of £13.00! Yep, that is 100ml for peanuts. And the best bit is that Jet Femme is the same scent as my beloved {light blue} from Dolce & Gabbana. The cheapest I could get 100ml of Light Blue would be £49.99 - a saving of £36.99 for me. And not forgetting that the AVON fragrance is Eau de Parfum, which last much longer than an Eau de Toilet...can you tell I am obsessed?

Stay tuned, because I have a fantastic offer for you, which can win you a special edition golden iPod (not available for general sale). More details will follow over the weekend.
In the meantime, what do you think of the card we sent to Lyndon's mum the other day? She was diagnosed with swine flu, but is fine now. She gave us a present the other day and was due a Thank You card, so I thought this one would be funny. Don;t worry - she will not be offended, her humour is a dark as ours :)
The image was downloaded from the net and I printed it onto cardstock. I hand cut the shape and just added bits and pieces. Kinda cute, hu?

TITLE: 2S4Y - Laura's sketch #33
DATE: 08/24/2009 01:39:00 PM

I am so excited about this weeks sketch, because I truly adore the Sponsor {ead designs}. Not that I do not love all other sponsors we had the honour to work with but EAD produce the BEST scrapbooking rub ons in the world. I am very critical when it comes to Rubs and when I first saw the {baroque frames} I had chosen, I wasn't sure if they would work. Mainly because they appear to be HUGE but also because I wasn't able to figure out how to rub them...
Let me tell you, these babies are the dogs' b*****s, the cats' whiskers...you catch my drift. There is not much rubbing involved either. You place the rub were you want it, just press it gently and peel of the backing - that's it...nothing more, nothing less. Personally I would rename them to "Gentle Press Downs"...
I really REALLY love them and as they are of a vinyl finish, they looks particular stunning on all projects. EAD mainly provide home decor and you can customise what you would like as well in a plethora of different colours. I am going to order a few more of their rubs....
Long story cut short - here is Laura's sketch and for my first card, I flipped it to the right. The word "Remember" takes place of the rectangle

Papers: Upsy Daisy Designs #UDD0137. Scrumptious
Embellishments: Rub Ons - EAD Designs; Ribbon, Button, Pearltrim, Twine - unknown; Flowers - Prima Marketing, Hero Arts; Pearls - Papermania, KatyCards
Then I flicked the sketch back to its original layout
The card I created for this design was off to a good start, but ended in me becoming hysterical...you see all the blue dots? I made them by using my beloved {jones tones} dimensional colours. They are fabulous and easy to use and when I got to the last three dots a HUGE blob of colour (the size of Luxembourg) splashed all over the card. I mean...WTH???? I did not put any more pressure on the bottle as before and now I was faced with a big fat piece of blue colour all over my card...

There wasn't much I could do but try to wipe it off as best as possible, but that also means there is some blue/silver film across a third of the black and white background. It probably doesn't notice much if you don't know it's there - but it sticks out to me a mile and I am still upset...
Anyway - I hope you all play along with us again. I would also like to say that I try to comment on as many participating blogs as possible but with a full time job, I don't always manage to leave a comment. That doesn't mean that I do not look at all your creations - I do and I love what everyone does.
{here} is out newest challenge and I hope to see you all there

TITLE: Weekend full of fun
DATE: 08/23/2009 01:37:10 PM

Man, what a weekend - I can honestly say that this was the best one so far this year. Lyndon and I rarely spend time hiking together on weekends as I am usually so beat after my working week that I cannot be bothered to do anything. But this Saturday I thought 'what-the-heck' and out we went.
We left home at 09:30hrs and returned shortly after 23:00hrs and in that time we walked, yes W-A-L-K-E-D across the Island from East Cowes to Ventnor. I think Lyndon said it was about 20 miles, and we faced quite a few steep hills. But we rested once in a while and refreshed our bodies by stopping for a pint of beer along the way in a few pubs.
I was actually surprised at how little out of breath I was and today only my calves hurt a bit because we had a set really steep steps to climb at the end of our hike. The picture doesn't do the height of the hill any justice. It looks almost flat, but trust me it was the steepest hill I ever got up on the Island...but again, once I was up there I was good and not even out of breath. It does pay working out ever Sunday, as my cardio must be totally up to scratch. I have never been able before to do such a long walk without feeling poorly. So, I am pleased and we are certainly ready for our hiking holiday in Germany shortly.
Apart from the Super-Saturday, I also had a Fantastic-Friday...first of all I love the new office premises in which we moved at the beginning of the week. We have a canteen there as well and the prices are amazing - Tall Cinnamon Cafe Latte £1.30 (you won't even get en empty cup in Starbucks for that), Large Bacon and Sausage Bap (you help yourself and can bung as much bacon and sausage on there as you like) £1.75. Needless to say that I tried various bits and bobs from the Cafe this week - when you count that, I am pleased that I only put on 1lb in weight...
But I ramble, I wasn't going to talk about the food I wanted to talk about my new phone...I LOVESITSOMUCH. My contract was up for renewal and I really hated my old mobile, as the buttons were so small and I had real problems reading/using them (the joys of getting older...). So, I went to the {carphone warehouse} and asked them to show me phones that would be available free on my contract. So I got this beauty
The {LG KP500} is stunning, sleek and what I love most is that you have many different options on how you would like to create your messages. Keyboard style or handwritten are my fave - I have never been able to write messages as quick as with this baby :)
Additionally the friendly sales guy (who was a piece of delicious eye-candy too), managed to save me £240 per year on my broadband contract - AND I get a wireless router too. What a productive and money saving weekend. Now I can't wait for next Sunday when we are going to see Madness...woooohoooo
Oh and last but by no means least, here's a quick card I made a few days ago. I just had some scraps lying on my desk and it just feel into place.
Embellishments: Ribbon, Pin - unknown; Stickers - Making Memories
Tools: EK Success - Wavy Border Punch; Woodware - Circle Punk; Quickutz - Bird Die; Stamps - Stampin' Up (dots), Upsy Daisy Designs (Chandelier); Uniball Signo Pen (white)
And I must not forget to say a big thank you to {this} fantastic lady. When I saw {this} card on her blog, I left a comment saying how much I liked it - guess what I arrived in the post yesterday? Yup, the sweet girl sent it to me. Who said that you cannot meet lovely people on the net?

I know I say this ALL the time but it is amazing how quickly two weeks whizz by these days. I only ever realise when all of a sudden it is my turn to create a project for Twisted Sketches :)
In addition to Anam's wonderful sketch, this weeks twist was to create a monochromatic project. Now I *heart* those challenges as I adore dabbing around with just the one colour. It is very challenging indeed but also very rewarding when you finally got your card or layout together, thinking "I never thought I would be able to create without anything <insert your colour of choice> on it..."
So here is my card - the colour scheme was chosen by Lyndon as I was fed up with reaching for my trusted earth tones. And of course the bugger had to choose the one colour I would most struggle with. You know what? The card was done within 30 minutes...that's how much I did NOT struggle :)

Yay me - it took some time but I finally managed to find a slice of mojo. She stuck around long enough to make me create one layout within just an hour. I didn't struggle, it just all fell into place and I am mighty pleased :)
The picture was taken by my super talented friend {christiane} during my last visit to my equally talented other friend {nat}. I didn't know Christiane took the picture when I was talking on the phone to my Sweetie-Pie, telling him that I would be home a few hours later that day.
I played with some awesome {perfect little labels} from my friend {jenn}, who - suprise, surprise - is also extremely talented. Yup, she has one of the coolest and hippest Etsy stores around, so check out {creative chaos} for your fix of fabulous jotters. Jenn designs all of them herself and ships internationally if you email her for a shipping price.

Oh oh oh and I have got another story to tell - the Lyndomeister and I are going to see {madness} - double YAY! Every time they played either on the Island or close to us we found out a week after the event and usually sighed a lot, saying "wish we'd known so we could've gone". Well, guess what - Madness play the Island on 30 August 2009 and I got us two tickets...woooohoooo. What a blast from the past and with {kid creole and the coconuts} as one of the support acts, you just know it's gonna be a fun filled afternoon

TITLE: Sophisticated Seven - AVON Make up Club
DATE: 08/15/2009 08:29:45 PM

As a brand new AVON Representative I am able to make you a wonderful offer. Well, at least I think it is wonderful :) and you will get some freebies out of it.
I am looking for seven peeps who would commit to spend a certain amount on AVON products every six weeks. There are three options you can sign up to: £10.00, £15.00 or £20.00 minimum order value (plus postage - but the more you spent on product the less you pay on postage). The Sophisticated Seven Club starts 1 October 2009 and you commit to place four orders (one every six weeks).
You are of course welcome to order more than your chosen minimum amount - I will keep a track of your total order value which will determine the amount you can spend on a FREE gift of your choice from the most recent AVON brochure once your term is completed.
AVON actually releases new brochures and offers every three weeks, so if you do not wish to become part of the club you can still place orders with me whenever you like (the next order will be placed on 20 August 2009 - if you want something from the recent brochure, place your order with me no later than 19 August 2009). And the best thing is: You do NOT need to send payment with your order. Payment will be collected when I have received the products from AVON.
You know what is even better? AVON has a 90 day no questions asked money back guarantee. That's right - you can return ANYTHING you have bought from AVON (including jewelery and underwear) and will receive a full refund of the product price in cash - no vouchers or anything like that. I doubt that you will find any other make-up company who would allow that.
Interested? Then please E-mail me and let me know for which amount you would like to sign up - I will then send you an outline of all the benefits that may be applicable for your group. All club members will also receive a piece of handmade jewelery from me as a Thank You gift.
I can promise you that you will not regret signing up - the offers are mind-blowing. Want an example on how far £10.00, £15.00 or £20.00 could get you?
One of my customers just took advantage of the Buy One Get On Free promotion. She bought one 50ml pot of Solutions Ageless Results Day Creme for £10.00 and got the 50ml pot of Solutions Ageless Results Night Creme FREE! So, two pots for a tenner - considering that the recommended retail price for 20ml is £20.00 and she grabbed herself 100ml for £10.00... a saving of £90.00!!!! Well, do I need to say more?? Every three weeks there will be different offers: What a fantastic way to slowly build up your beauty products.
Here is another example to show just how much you can get for £15.00 (ish)
- Mineral Foundation (I swear by it and would never use anything else again) - £7.00
Eyeshadow Duo - £3.00
Fruity Eyeliner - £2.80
Volume Mascara - £3.00
Total order value: £15.80
Ex-promo price value: £25.50 - a saving of £9.70
And what about if you sign up for £20.00 club membership? To tell you the truth, that is my favourite and I already put my order in for this month, wanna see what I am getting for my buck?
- Mineral Eyeshadow - £5.00
Mineral Foundation - £7.00
Volume Mascara - £3.00
Satin Glow Spray - £2.50
Perfume - £3.00
Total order value: £20.50
Ex-promo price value: £37.00 - a saving of £16.50
Maybe you are not really all that bothered about beauty products - well Avon also sells jewellery, fitness gear, bags, underwear, home essentials. etc. There is something for everyone. Or you may know someone who would be interested in this club, then please send them my way. If they sign up and tell me you sent them, you will receive a Thank You gift from me.
Oh and if you live in the Southampton/Isle of Wight area you can also become a member of the Sophistcated Seven. We can arrange for personal FREE delivery, which means no postage costs apply.

TITLE: Hero Arts Challenge
DATE: 08/13/2009 08:40:27 PM

I love {hero arts} stamps but somehow I must have been living on a different planet as I only found out by accident the other week, that they actually have a {blog} going. It has probably been going for donkeys but I was never the quickest on the uptake....Anyhoo - I loved the most recent {challenge} to use any of Shari's sketches as the base for your card. I have chosen Sketch #3, because for some reason it appealed to me the most.
With the F5042 - Leaf Flourish I stamped all over the background of the scalloped circle card stock and accented the leaves by dipping a little Diamond Glaze onto them. The A4942 - Tiny Owl is one of my favourites and I love colouring and hand cutting the little blighter. Here I raised it on a pop dot to make it appear that the owl is resting on the twine. A few pearls dropped strategically break up the background design.

Stamps, Flower, Button: Hero Arts
Cardstock: Bazzill; Stampin' Up
Embellishments: Pearls - KatyCard; Embroidery Floss - Scrapitude
The rectangle piece of sand coloured Swiss Dots Bazzill card stock was adhered with a card stock hinge to the background to enable lifting the whole front to reveal a blank piece of card to write a personal message. I really like how this card turned out - something really different but definitely something I will try again.

This week we were totally spoiled to play with the newest creations from the {cutting cafe}. Regina creates such gorgeous printable stamps and card templates that I am always spoiled for choice as to which ones to take.
I had the same problem this week - so many stamps and templates that I just had to combine a total of three :)
So, I used the {apple shaped card} and the pencil and school days circle from the {school days} set.
This is Laura's sketch for this week
And here is my card, done with the aid of Regina's files

So, you know how AVON works? You have your Representative who delivers the make up to your door. Well, this may be a tad difficult for me living on an Island if you do not live in my close proximity but I was hoping that if some of my online buddies fancy some AVON make up (and believe me, I basically grew up with it and can vouch that this stuff is fab value for money), we can certainly make a deal. You may not have a Rep in your area, so you are very welcome to contact me. No minimum order value either.
You can either get a hardcopy of the brochure from me for a 99p charge (which I will deduct from your first order), or you can check it out yourself online {here}. The next catalogue comes out on August 27, 2009 so you better be quick checking the above link out or email me for a hard copy. There are some amazing deals out there, and my own order list is already HUGE. Orders have to be placed before August 25, 2009 for the recent brochure.
Anyway - if you are interested to buy through me, shoot me an email (direct link is on the left hand side of my blog) and we can work something out. If I have to send by Royal Mail you will only be charged actual postage. I do not wish to make money on delivery.
The offers that are on right now are amazing and I am not just saying that, I was seriously amazed when I flicked through the cataolgue and saw just HOW MANY top value make up products are on offer for £3.00....considering I usually spent £8.00 for {this} fab mascara - it is right now available for only £3.00 - guess how many I am getting of this baby? Right -> three in one go, you never know when and offer like that pops up again.
But I ramble - if you are interested, contact me - you can order from me at any time and I will even give UK destinations FREE P&P for all orders over £19.99 throughout the months of August and September 2009.
Hope you will all have a grand start to the week and don't forget to come back tomorrow for the recent {2s4y} sketch :)

Two weeks ago I finally did what I wanted to do for a number of years now and get my tattoos all spruced up. I got my very first tattoo something like 26 years ago and I am pretty sure that my last one was done about 15 years ago. Needless to say that the colours faded over the years and I always thought of getting them one again.
Also, some of the colours on my arm...well, let's put it this way I have NO idea why I ever thought that orange and blue together are cool. Thinking about it, there is WAY too much blue on my arm anyway.
Thanks to {dream cream} I healed within a week. No scab, no blood but quite a bit of itching...
Please note that the bits and bobs in between, where there is no colour are not quite done yet.
But anyrod, I scrapped and that's that - a start. It can only get better

I had a fantastic mail day yesterday - got my delivery for some fantastic {purple onion stamps}. Michele had a 25% sale on until the end of July and of course I had to take advantage of it. Wanna see which ones I got? No?? Well, I am gonna show you anyway...
Ha, I just saw on the site that the Sale is actually going on until August 3, 2009 - so be quick and squeeze an order in. ALL stamps are 25% off.
Oh and speaking of the jewellery, don't forget {this post} to get your name in for a draw for some custom freebie from me :)
