Celebrating Summer with Sunflowers

Good Morning!

I've taken a little break from the Christmas cards and made something a little bit more seasonal for this time of year. This main image is another design from one of the Art Pads released a few years ago from Lili of the Valley. 

I've kept the card sentiment free so that it can be used for any occasion when needed.

INGREDIENTS -

LOTV Art Pad Image

Maja Design Papers

Doodlebug Sprinkles

Flowers, Berries, Paper Doily, Cheesecloth & Organza Ribbons

 Thanks for stopping by,

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Merry & Bright with Lili of the Valley!

Good Morning!

I'm back with another sneak peek today from the upcoming LOTV release!

A little later than I'd hoped but unfortunately work got in the way. This cute snowman along with various other designs and Gnomes will be released tomorrow!

The photo is a little bit gloomy due to the fact we had torrential rain when I took it, typical British Summer!

August's Creative Inspirations Challenge!

Good Morning!

It's the first Wednesday of the month so it's time for a new challenge over at
CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS! 

This month's theme is 'Something Seasonal!' 

I'd like to see you make something celebrating the seasons! So whether you want to stick to a Summer theme, indulge in Autumnal colours and leaves or make a start on those Christmas cards it's completely up to you!
Please don't forget to write which season you have chosen!

This month's prize is from myself and is a bundle of craft goodies!
Unfortunately nobody came forward to claim this prize from April's challenge so it's back up for grabs!

For my card this month I have used an Art Sheet image by LOTV that I've had in my stash for a few years now, I think they're great for quick cards and I love the floral designs that were included. 
Oh and incase you wondered I chose the theme of 'Summer' for this month's challenge due to these all being summer blooms!

A Flowery Birthday Gnome!

Good Morning!

To start of the month of August I have a bright and cheery birthday card to share with you all today! It's also a little breather from the Christmas cards but don't worry there will be some more of them very soon! lol

Today's card is actually for my Mum as it's her Birthday this Sunday, although I didn't want to put the number on it even though it is a big one ... I didn't think she'd appreciate it too much lol

This lovely stamp is by Stamping Bella that I bought a few months ago and finally got the chance to ink up for the first time yesterday.
