Apologies

 Hi

Thought I’d just pop by to let you know that I’m still here, but my crafting has taken a back seat for a while! Reason being.......we have a puppy 😍 We welcomed our little Cockapoo boy into our home a few weeks ago. I hope to be back to crafting soon, so please bear with me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Butterfly Wishes

Hi

Just a quick post today, as it seems there’s a problem with blogger and I’m having trouble uploading in the usual way! 

I realised I forgot to share this card I made for one of the challenges over on Cotswold Crafter’s blog a few weeks ago. I love this pretty Tim Holtz butterfly, and the Anna Marie Designs papers go perfectly with it.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

New Stamps by Tracey Hey.

Hi

As promised, I’m back today sharing another couple of cards using my new stamps from Tracey Hey. I really just wanted to play around with them, and see what I came up with. So here are the results - a bit different to my usual style, but it’s good to just go with the flow and see what happens! 

The stamp sets I’ve used are: Epic Stuff, Dotty Definitions, Doing Great and Mwah.

Thanks for stopping by.

’Mwah’.... Cute Elephants

Hi

Two posts in two days! I just couldn’t wait to share my creations, using these gorgeous new stamps I’ve purchased in the last week! I came across Tracey Hey - Alpaca Pals whilst browsing Instagram and upon visiting her site, I fell in love with her designs. So here are my first two cards using this cute little elephant from the ‘Mwah’ stamp set. I have also used a couple of stamps from the ‘Doing Great’ set aswell.

Will be back soon to share another couple of cards using these wonderful stamps - something a bit different to my usual style!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Embossing Folder Challenge

Hi

Since getting back into crafting over the last few months, I’ve been warmly welcomed back in to the Cotswold Crafter’s blog. This is a lovely friendly blog run by Sandra, with loads of beautiful inspiration and weekly challenges. I love being a part of Sandra’s blog, along with the friendly chatter, it inspires me with my crafting. A recent challenge was to use our embossing folders, something I hadn’t used for a while. So I’d like to share the cards I made. I was rather pleased with how they turned out - and the bonus of making a Christmas card to add to this year’s collection!

Thanks for stopping by.

21st Birthday Cards

Hi 

Apologies for not blogging for a while. Thought I’d share with you the Birthday cards I made for my Son. He was 21 at the beginning of July! Can’t believe where the years have gone. We celebrated in the best way we could with lockdown restrictions still in place. 

My first card uses a LOTV image which I purchased from their Etsy store. I used Anna Marie Designs papers and the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.

For my second card I used an AALL & Create stencil as my background. The sentiment is from Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Father’s Day

Hi

Just a quick post to share the card I made for my Dad for Father’s Day.

Can’t go wrong with Lili Of The Valley images, this is one from the now discontinued art pads.

The background is a recently purchased stencil from Clearly Besotted, as well as the sentiment.

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful Dads out there.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
