Stencil It!

 Good morning fellow crafters I hope you are all good & staying safe! 

I'm not going to be around much this weekend as.......Katie & Harvey are moving out!!!!! So sad, I'm going to miss them both so much, but I feel privileged to have seen our little man grow in the last 9 months & thankfully they aren't going to far!

I would like to ask, if any of you would like to send her a 'New Home' card. She hasn't go many friends as she lost them when she split up with Harvey's dad!

If you would like to, please email me on

shell-swinscoe@virginmedia.com

or message me on Facebook my name on there is

Shell 'Shearer' Swinscoe

& I will send you our address

Thank you so much xx

Its time for me to share my latest 'My Time To Craft' creation with you, the theme for the next fortnight is......

STENCIL IT!

so yeah, use a stencil somewhere on your make.

I decided to use a stencil I've had for an absolute age, but never used & you know what? I love it & will be using it more lol!!

I love the sentiment being cut out of the background & then layered up...one of the reasons I love my Scan n Cut!!
