Spring Lamb.....

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Today I have another card to share.
This time I have made a card for a new baby.

I wasn't really sure about this card but it has grown on me now. I made the lamb using a Sizzix die that I've had for years and I think this poor little chap has been sat on my desk, made up for about a year at least. The die is called 'Stuffed Lamb'.

The papers are from Craft Creations Ltd......my favourites. I just love their spotty papers, well all spotty papers to be honest. The pearls and roses are from The Hobby House and the leaf punch is from McGill. The little 'New Addition' stamp is from a Fizzy Moon set.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Easter Bunny

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Today I have another card to share.
I think I have a bit of a green thing going on at the moment as everything on my work desk is in shades of green.....It must be Spring.....well in my head at least......

This image is a Penny Black stamp called Garden Slumber.....I have coloured this time using my Distress Marker pens, I just love these pens. The papers were a freebie with a magazine left over from quite awhile ago. I have used a Martha Stewart border punch and various other dies and punches to create the flower and the leaves. The pearls as always are from The Hobby House and the sentiment is computer generated.

Going Green.....

Good afternoon everyone.
It's so miserable and cold again today but I have some nice, bright Spring~like journal pages to share.
I'm still keeping my New Year's resolution to keep up with Kate Crane's 365 Calendar Journal.....I know I'm a bit late but here it is..... finished......

I used white and green paints and a baby wipe to create the base layer then spritzed with green, gold and silver inks and Mica sprays. I stamped the birds onto paper and cut them out and also stamped leaves and flowers directly onto my background. The papers, stamps and sentiment stamp are all from Art From The Heart......although I've had the papers for years now. I finished off by adding random circles and lines and a Tim Holtz die~cut 'MARCH' heading.
I love the colours and how they turned out and I'm quite liking how my journal is beginning to look....now I just have to remember to fill in each day and think about what to do for April's pages.
I am adding my March journal pages to Kate Crane's 365 Journal Challenge.
Hey look Polly.......I've done it again.
Thank you for stopping by.
Enjoy the rest of your day. 

It's A Floral Frenzy......

Good morning everyone.
Well it's a wet and miserable day here so what better way to cheer it up than with lots of flowers.
We have a new challenge over at
A Gem Of A Challenge
and our theme this week is 
FLORAL FRENZY
And here is my DT card

For my card I used this cute digi image from Pink Gem Designs called Horace With Flowers. I coloured him using Promarkers and he was a real dream to colour. The papers were a freebie from a magazine...I can't remember which one as it was ages ago but I think they are from Nitwit Collections. The flowers are from my stash and the pearls, brads and spacers are from The Hobby House. I added some die~cut leaves and a sentiment from LOTV to finish off.
Please pop over to the main challenge blog and take a peek at all the lovely flowery creations the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration.

Dressing Up!

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Today I have a tag to share.
And 'No' it's not the Tim Holtz one I'm supposed to have finished....that's a work in progress......the February tag and the March tag are ongoing projects at the moment.
This tag is one using the fabulous Julie Nutting stamps.....well one of them anyway.

I spritzed, inked and stencilled the background then stamped the image on to spotty pink paper.....(I'm afraid this photo isn't very good) and cut her out mounting her onto the tag. I then cut out some of the flowers and leaves from the same papers. To finish off I added some ribbon roses, pearls and lace from The Hobby House.
I'm quite pleased with how she turned out although I was a little tempted to keep adding things but managed to stop myself.
Thanks Polly, you never fail to inspire me.

Thank you for stopping by.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Waiting For Summer

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
The weather is so dark, cold and miserable here I thought I'd make a card with a summery feel to it.

I was digging around in my stamps drawer the other day and came across this little ray of sunshine so I coloured her with Promarkers, gave her a home and followed this sketch from Sketch Saturday.

The papers are from my stash......not sure what they are called....Sorry! and the image is of course a Magnolia stamp....I have so many of these stamps........I should really use them more often. The pearls are from The Hobby House and the sentiment is computer generated.
