Hi all,

I am here this evening with my last post as a guest designer over on the Stamp Basket Blog.

I promised Janet that one of my creations would be a christmas card and today I have an adorable card using the lovely Bella with Sledge from Wild Rose Studio. 

I decided to make a pretty girly christmas card (which will be put by for madam I think) and teamed the image with some fabby Nitwit papers, added a lovely Memory Box die, some gorgeous lace & vintage ribbon and a few pearls which I coloured with my promarkers to match to finish.

The items that are available from The Stamp Basket are -

Wild Rose Studio Stamp - Bella with Sledge

Nitwit Collection Papers - Joyful Hearts, Pink Dot & Blue Swirls

Memory Box Die - Snowflake Corner

Dovecraft - 11/2" flat lace

Vintage Ribbon - 15mm Limgoes

The Hobby House Pearls - 5mm Snow White

I hope you have enjoyed my creations over the last 6 weeks using the fabulous Stamp Basket goodies.

A present for you

Hi all

I'm here today as its my turn to show a bit of inspiration over on The Stamp Basket Blog. I have just one more week left as a Guest DT with Janet & the girls and next week my last card may well be a little bit festive!!

Oh boy has it taken me ages to get this card posted up today, my laptop is still not fixed so have had to pinch my sons tablet and figure that out- its not much fun typing with one finger either lol!!!!.

I have to say I have enjoyed having time off this last week or so and not feeling stressed about crafting - the down side is that I have been finding lots of things to do round the house while the kids are at school - such a cleaning windows, sorting out bedrooms & wardrobes etc - but it feels nice to know that I can sit and craft only if I want to and not cause I have too to meet deadlines. Its taken me most of the week to get this card done as I just couldn't get it right so kept leaving it - I think my mojo is gonna take a while to come back - but hopefully I won't be too long with another creation, as I dont want to give up compeletely just take things a bit easy on myself.

Anyway today I have made this cute little card using the adorable Wild Rose Studio image Teddy with Gerbera - isn't he just so sweet hanging on to that massive flower for dear life lol!!!

I teamed this little Ted with some very funky papers from Bo Bunny -Surprise added some pretty flowers,  Doiley and a Memory Box Party Lantern die cut. I made a cute double bow using Red Ribbon and added some Pearls to finish.

The items that can be found at The Stamp Basket are :

Wild Rose Studio stamp- Teddy with Gerbera
Bo Bunny 6x6 paper pad - Surprise
Bo Bunny - Small Doiley

Memory Box - Party Lantern Die

Berisfords - 15mm Red Ribbon

Hobby House - 4mm Pearls, Snow White
Bazzil 12 x12 card - Yukon Gold

Craftwork Cards - Straight Edge Card Blanks size 6

Thanks for popping by my blog today, hope you liked my little creation

Birthday Bear

Hi all,

Hope you are all having a fabulous Easter break, we are having a busy time here. It was Abbie's birthday yesterday and she had a little tea party for her friends at home which had a little One Direction theme going on. Today we are going toy shopping as she didn't really know what she wanted so had a lot of money given her and tomorrow its my birthday so we are going to the cinema to see Oz and off out for lunch.

Anyway its my turn today to show a little bit of card inspiration over on The Stamp Basket Blog.

Today I am using an adorable Bildmalarna image from the Little Winged Friends collection called Your Birthday. Such a sweet image and just perfect for a young girls birthday - in fact I used it for Abbie's card off her brother for yesterday. To make it even sweeter Janet has this gorgeous stamp in the sale for just £4.88.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and die cut her out with SB Labels One die. I teamed the image with some pretty papers from Bo-Bunny, added lots of gorgeous flowers, a die cut La La Land Fence, Memory Box Party Lanterns die & some lovely vintage style ribbon.

Little Lady Bug & exciting news!!

Hi all,

Well I have a bit of exciting news for you today, I have been asked by the lovely Janet at The Stamp Basket to guest design for them for a few weeks. If you haven't popped by Janet's shop, please have a look as there are some gorgeous items to purchase and at the moment there is a fabulous Spring Sale with lots of reductions on many items.

So although I haven't actually started my time yet, I couldn't help but make a card using this adorable Saturated Canary Stamp - Little Lady Bug - how cute is she!!!! and to top it off she is in the sale with 15% off.

I used a 6x6 scalloped card blank & stamped my image using Memento Ink in black, coloured her with my promarkers and teamed my little lady up with some MME papers mated onto Black Bazzil Card, added  few flowers and some lovely organza ribbon. The big red flower I made myself out of lots of layers of red tulle & die cut scalloped circle.
