Hi all,

Pinch, Punch first of the month. Can you believe we are in March already - wow lets hope that summer will soon be on its way.

Well as its the first of the month it can only mean 1 thing - there is a new club stamp set being released at Little Claire.

This month we have an adorable stamp set - You're so Tweet - I love this set and was inspired to make bright and cheery creations with it.

Papers on both cards are from MME and do ya like my felt flowers (especially the big one) they were such a bargin from Dunelm a while ago - they were only 50p per pack the big one was just 4 in a pack, but the little ones had about 20 bargin!!!.

Please pop on over to the blog and check out my team mates fabulous creations using this image.

Butterfly Garden

Hi all,

Happy 2013 to you all, hope the new year brings you all love, luck and happiness.

I was very lucky last year to be asked to design for some fantastic companies using their wonderful products,  and they were all so patient with me during the time of my operation and recouperation period. Hopefully this year I can continue to do them proud and keep up with all the new releases.

So today I start my new blog year off with the fabulous January Club Stamp from Little Claire - Cherish, Hugs, Dream is a beautiful whimsical stamp of flowers & butterflies. For just £8.99 you get the stamp set, full colour instructions and all materials needed to make a card and 2 more colour project instructions.

Don't forget whilst your in the club you also get 10% off every purchase and free delivery on all items.
So onto my cards.

I made these cute little calendars as teachers gifts for christmas - hopefully they liked them

I kept the design on this card very simple as I wanted the image to be the focus, some lovely bright papers from MME and a few embellies were all that was needed.

For this card I stamped the image in a pale grey ink instead of the usual black and love how it gives it more of a sketchy feel to the image. Again I kept the layout and papers very simple.
