Lili of the Valley New Release!

    Hello there!

Why is it every time I plan to do more crafting life ends up getting in the way? Apologies for always being so quiet, the intention is there to craft but time rarely seems to allow it however I have got something to share with you all today :)

There is brand new release from LOTV coming very soon and you can place your advanced orders for the new designs NOW! We are launching some lovely new Floral sets which includes a 'Vases of Flowers' and the set that I've used for today's card 'A Year in Flowers'. These are only available as Polymer Stamps which means they're always to hand unlike digi's if your computer throws a wobbler! The set that I have used is set out as Tags but I've placed one onto a small 3x3 card blank to create a cute, mini card.

Penny Black Saturday - May Challenge!

               Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  Patterned Papers!'
Normally my cards are covered in patterned papers but for today's card I wanted to make something different. I've had this stamp for years but year after year I always tend to forget to use it as it's actually a Christmas stamp that's supposed to have lot's of red berries hanging down from the foliage.
HOWEVER I thought I'd try and disguise it as something else! If you're a plant geek like me then you'll hopefully recognise what I've aimed for .... Wisteria! 

INGREDIENTS -
'Full Bloom' Penny Black stamp
Purple Doodlebug Sprinkles

Creative Inspirations - May Challenge!

   Good Morning!
Today we have a brand new challenge starting over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS!

This month we're celebrating the King's Coronation and we've given you TWO themes to paly along with, so take you're pick!
The first one is a colour scheme of 'Red, White & Blue!' of course you can still use Hair/Skin tones and the colour black.
The second option to play along with is 'Royal!' So think of Kings/Queens, Crowns etc ... the decision is yours!
I decided to play along with the colour scheme option and used an old stamp that has only seen ink once or twice, however with the hat and umbrella I thought this chap looked distinctly British and was a good pairing for the colour scheme!

INGREDIENTS -
Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp
Matte Doodlebug Sprinkles
