A happy April

Hi Bloggers!

I just wanted to share with you a few more cards made this month. It has been exciting for me as I have had a guest design moment with Little Claire's stamps. For those that follow my blog, you will know how much I have loved there stamps and for how long I have loved them.

This is the card I designed for Little Claire's. It was made using their Wavy Dog Stamp, their butterfly background papers and their daisy papers for the flowers.

These two cards were made using the Little Claire's Wavy Wedding stamp - I love the papers too, but can't remember where I purchased them from.

These two cards were made for a friend to give to the birthday girls from her dog Dexter who is a Basset Hound. They turned out so cute.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my April makes.

More for March 2016

Hello Bloggers!

I have had a few days of Banksy inspired cards that I would like to share with you. Some are sold and there are more to come.

Hope you like them all?

And now it is March 2016.......

Hi Bloggers!

Not sure where time goes? I spent most of February unwell with an infection. The infection caused pain and took three lots of antibiotics to cure it! I think it was the scare of IV antibiotics that meant my body managed to fight it. Hence, no crafting done.

Anyway, I am recovered now and made about 11 cards over two days. I will share some with you here.

These four cards are using spring images from Little Claire's. I love them.

These two cards are made using the wavy sheep stamp. Quiet quirky! One of these has now reached its destination.

This is a Banksy inspired stamp - Love it!

Hope you like them and feel free to leave a comment to say you have stopped by.

Happy Crafting!

February Cards

Hi Bloggers!

Well, I have been busy with Wedding Invites so not made to many cards. I hope that I will be able to share them with you very soon :)

Here is a couple of cards I made this week for two special ladies.

These two cards were made with some toppers from Kraftyhands from the 'Tea Cup Zoo'. I think they are very quirky! The background papers are from Little Claire.

Hope you like them :)

January 2016

Hello Bloggers!

Well, been very busy so I am sorry I haven't posted. I will try and do more postings.

I am making 70 Wedding Invites, which I will share with you as soon as I am able. I am very excited about it :)

Thought I would post this card that I made for my son James - colours are not brilliant, not sure why.

The bird was green...so not sure why the photo is showing it as brown, but you get the idea. Its using Tim Holtz Crazy Birds and Crazy things. James loved it. I am going to experiment with the stamps when I get some time.

Enjoy your day.

A couple more cards.

Hi Bloggers!

I had a lovely day at the NEC yesterday spending money on more stamps etc. It wasn't as busy as normal which was much better if you wanted to get around and look at the stalls.

First card to share is for my friends Barbara and Keith Lea who celebrated their anniversary this week. I popped over to see them before taking Doris back to the vet.

This card was made with background papers and a stamp from Little Claire's. The die cut butterfly has a bit of sparkle on it.

This card was made for a friend of Lettie's who was having a baby shower. The stamps are from Stamping Up - and as you can guess, she is having a baby girl :)

I will share more of my cards with you later this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

A few more cards......

Hi Bloggers!

I just wanted to share a few more with cards with you:

These were made with Little Claire's stamps at the crafting day. The blue card has an acetate front and the green one is a box design - all designed by Helen Nile. Still a few more of these to share from the day.

Today I have made an anniversary card and a birthday card that I will share when they have reached their destination.

Enjoy your day :)

And some more cards........ Oh and a Basset or two :)

Hi Bloggers!

I wanted to introduce you to my Bassets first. Hugo at the back who is now 8yrs old and Doris at the front who is 15months and is from Basset rescue. She is a dappy bird with a few hangups! She has been part of our family since May 2015 and we are her 5th home!

Onto my cards:

This one was made for Jackie who is my son James's partner. This was for her birthday in October 2015. This was made with a stamp from Little Claire's - coloured in Promarkers.

This is a reindeer box that I made for my Grandson Charlie for Christmas. I filled it with sweeties for him. A fun think that I made with my Silhouette Portrait.

I also made this Tic Tac boxes for Christmas with my Silhouette Portrait and will be making more for this year. 

This is the Anniversary card I made for Greg and Lucy - This was inspired by Pinterest :)

Lastly, a couple of cards made at The Little Claire's Cardmaking day. These were designed by Helen Nile and using the lovely stamps by Little Claire.
