Hearts a plenty

Hi all,

We have a new showcase over at Milkcoffee today and our theme this week is - Hearts - perfect to show off some of the new valentine releases in store.

For my card I have used the gorgeous - Charlotte Valentine Date - such a little cutie clutching her heart purse.

I teamed the image with some gorgeous papers from the First Edition Rose Garden pad - I am so loving the 2 new FE pads at the mo. The card shape I think is called a Double Z Fold Card and I trimmed the top corners off to create the shape and made a little band to keep it closed.

This is the card closed

Here is the card open 

Thank you for popping by my blog today, please do pop back later to see the final release from Little Claire.

Hi all,

How much is that Kitty in the window?

Hi all,

Well I'm back again to show you the card I made for my first inspiration post over on the Inky Impressions Blog.

For my card I have used one of the digis from the new Love Spell release called - Kitty in Window -isnt she just adorable.

I have gone for a very pink, girly and pretty colour scheme and kept the layout quite simple to show off the image. I added a few pretty WOC flowers, some gorgeous dotty organza ribbon, lace and sprigs of little pearls to finish.

Here is the sketch if fancy having a play with it yourself.

The set consists of 8 individual stamps - cook book, rolling pin, oven gloves, cupcake, star cutter, heart cutter, scales & wooden spoon and is just £3.99

Here are my cards

I teamed the stamp with some fabby papers from the Papermania - Happy Days collection, a few WOC flowers and some fabby yellow gingham ribbon.I thought all the gingham gave the card as fab kitcheny feel.

Let it snow

Hi all,

Back today with a new challenge over at Milkcoffee - now we have a very appropriate theme this week

Snow/Snowflakes + Glitter/Sparkle

Well I tell you after putting all my xmas bits and pieces away at the back of the cupboard I wasn't too happy to see this challenge and had to dig it all back out again - I really didn't want to start my xmas cards yet lol!!!!

Anyway for my card I have used the adorable image - Girl playing with Snow - don't you just love her, she's so sweet

 I teamed the image with some fabby papers from Papermania, the flowers are WOC and the glittery snowflake is actually a tree decoration from Asda (not got many left now for my cards for next year - should have stocked up lol!!!)

Please do pop by the challenge blog and check out my team mates fabby creations.

Thank you for popping by my blog today - and I would like to appologise for my lack of commenting just lately. I have been very busy ploughing through a lot of DT work for some new releases coming out very soon. Hoping to catch up with everyone over the weekend.
