Birthday Wishes...


Good evening my blogging buddies. This is a quickie before Britain's Got Talent starts and then Take me Out!! Oh I do watch some rubbish!!
For this card I have used this sweet little stamp from Lili of the Valley which I coloured with promarkers this time...for a wee change. The papers are First Edition - New Leaf...yummy. The flowers have been cut with my MFT flower trio die which I also inked up with some TH distress ink just to make them that shade darker than the card. I added some pearls and a message.

another wee cupcake....


Hi folks....well it's been a lovely day here today and I have managed to get lots of washing done and hung out...hopefully it will be dry soon!! I am hoping that I will be able to get most of folded and put away without having to iron it.

I am just loving this little stamp from LOTV...she is so adorable. My friend Donna asked me to make her a card to give to her auntie as it's a big birthday for her at the weekend....hope she likes it.

I coloured the image with copics, the papers are First Edition - New Leaf which I layered onto kraft, I distressed the edges and added some stitching. The flowers have been cut with matching card and kraft using my MFT flower trio die and I gave them some doodled petals and stuck a pearl in the center....a few of my favourite things on this card!!

A little candy....


Hey folks....this is just a little candy on offer to my followers. I bought this Memory box die at the SECC(amongst other things) and isn't quite the die I thought. I have what my hubby calls"sausage fingers" and this die ain't for sausage fingers so if anybody would like it then please leave me a wee comment on this post and I will happily give it away...

Oops nearly forgot...you need to be a follower.

I will draw a winner on...mmm say Friday.

Keep watching as I may have other little things to give away...

Card #2 today...I really need to go and do some housework but first this...the LOTV fairy stamps are up there with my other favourites and this little cutie is no exception. I have coloured her with copics, glittered her wings too. The papers are scraps of MME but can't remember what the name of them is. I layered them onto card then stitched and distressed the edges...I just love that look!! I added a piece of pink lace, a ribbon and a couple of tiny tags. The rolled roses have been made with my new MFT rolled rose die, I already have the sizzix one...but these are teeny!!

This one took me ages....

A flying visit from me today....I have to say although I like this stamp, it took me ages to colour and I wasn't really sure what to do with her hair. Originally I set out to make a card to fit the challenge on the sugar Nellie Facebook page with spring like papers and colours however it went completely up in the air...so the stamp is Entangled from Sugar Nellie which I stamped onto kraft and coloured with polychromos. The papers are MME - Lost and found which are really lovely and layered onto kraft and bazzill card which I distressed. I added some raffia, ribbon and button twine to which I attached a flower and button, the flowers have been cut with my favourite die...MFT flower trio die and I used felt and kraft to do that and then added pearls to the centres. The message is from Personal Impressions. It's a bit different but hope you likey...
