Paperchase haul!

My Paperchase haul - Project Life / scrapbooking journalling cards post from www.madewithlovebykat.co.uk

I had a couple of hours to kill after work yesterday and was feeling in the mood to buy thanks to this gorgeous Hobbycraft haul post over at These Glittery Hands, so I went mooching about Manchester City Centre. I wanted some more 4x6 cards for my Project Life album, and I thought I'd head down to Paperchase to see if they had anything I could adapt. And check out my goodies!


I love these Scrabble-style initials postcards I found - one for me and one for the boy! Plus they'll look great in some of those tricksy tall 4x6 slots you get in the type D Project Life packs.




This postcard will work brilliantly as a journalling card and I thought it was particularly apt, as when I met Luke I had absolutely no intention of falling for him as hard as I have done - in fact he was pretty annoying and rude!


This flyer is for an event today - I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I thought I could maybe trim out some of those cute animals and use them in a December layout. 


Speaking of December... I'm going to the Olympia horse show to drink champagne and watch dressage with my mum and a friend next month. These cute stickers will be perfect for when I scrapbook the resulting pictures!


Enjoy - post below and let me know what you guys have been buying for your projects.

Look! My craft stall!

Well the craft market at the Midsummer Festival this weekend didn't go brilliantly for me thanks to the rain, but lots of people did take business cards so hopefully they will go home and order online from the cosiness of their houses. But look how pretty my stall looked! And all made on a budget of about 50p, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune on display things: Of course, the highlight for me was lovely Thomas, the Clydesdale horse who had his shoes remade (they were huge! ) and gave small children rides up and down Churchgate. He was adorable.

Review: Hand Lettering A to Z by Abbey Sy

I've been wanting to try my hand at "proper" hand lettering for a while - I often get complimented on my handwriting but when it comes to lettering for journalling or cards I'm never quite as happy with the outcome as I hope to be. So when the lovely folks at Quarto Publishing got in touch with their Autumn catalogue I was thrilled to see how many titles they had on the subject. Hand Lettering A to Z by Abbey Sy is a gorgeous place to start. Abbey's instagram is absolutely lush (follow here here ) and I particularly love her Bangkok photos as we've just returned from there, so I was super excited to be able to have a look at her book. The book takes you through a range of hand drawn fonts, plus has additional chapters on embellishments and a gorgeous gallery of inspiration. See how beautiful? So exciting. I was so excited, in fact, that I totally ignored her advice to get a sharp pencil and a proper table to work at. 'I can do this in

A bright Malta layout with stitching

We had such a lovely time on our recent trip to Malta - and I got lots of photos that I'm enjoying making into layouts and mini albums. This one was taken at the gate to Mdina, where the first season of Game of Thrones was filmed. I didn't realise at the time that Luke was being silly behind me!   I used the Mr Huey double yellow mist from the latest Like For Ever kit to make a sunny background, and stitched sunbeams using the yellow ombre thread from the mixed media add-on. The ephemera was from last month's "In Bloom" kit, but I thought it was so lovely and bright it matched perfectly - I've been dying to use those feathers on something lovely!
