LOTV Simply Prints!
Good Morning!
Along with Digi stamps LILI OF THE VALLEY also have Simply Prints which are perfect if you're in a rush and don't have time to colour, which tends to be me more often than not these days lol
Today I am sharing a card that I've made using one from the recent 'James Bear' release called 'James Looking Up' which will probably be used as a Thank You card after Christmas. If you'd rather stick to the usual Digi though don't worry, he is still available as that too.
INGREDIENTS -
LOTV Simply Print - James Looking Up
LOTV Sentiment
Maja Design & Magnolia Papers
Paper Doily, Ribbon & Flowers
Clear Dew Drops & Doodlebug Sprinkles

PBSC December Challenge!
Good Morning!
This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is
'Anything Goes or Winter Wonderland!'
Well with Christmas just around the corner of course I played along with the Winter Wonderland theme! The stamp I've used is one of my all time favourites and the Tree Die cuts are also by Penny Black. I treated myself to some new design papers a couple of weeks ago and decided to go with a contemporary colour scheme for a change.

Creative Inspirations December Challenge!
Good Morning!
This month at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS the challenge is 'Ho! Ho! Ho!' and simply put we want to see all of your Christmassy creations!
This month we are sponsored by ALL DRESSED UP and each of us have used one of their digi's on our designs. I decided to keep mine un-coloured and turn it into a gift tag that could also be hung on a Christmas Tree afterwards.

Penguin Friends
Good Afternoon!
I'm carrying on with the festivities today and sharing another Christmas card, I can't believe we're almost at December! It's taken me almost 3 days to get this card finished from when I started colouring the image, I really do wish there were more hours in the day sometimes lol
This sweet design is by LOTV and is called 'Penguin Friends' which you can find HERE.

Penny Black Saturday November Challenge!
Good Morning!
This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is
'Anything Goes or Bingo!'
To play along with the optional theme all you have to do is select a row, column or diagonal line from the following table. I've decided to play along and selected the line of
'Lot's of Layers - Penny Black Stamped Image - Embossing'.
The stamp that I have used on today's card is one that I've had for years and I'm not even entirely sure if I've even used it before! So of course I had to change that ...

LOTV Halloween Release!
Good Morning!
This week LOTV are launching a Halloween Release and as soon as I saw the designs last week I couldn't wait to make a card with one of them! Today's card is using 'Pumpkins' and I can see her being very popular. Along with a range of Digi's there's also some new Sentiments and Printable Papers!
The papers I've used today are some that I must've had for going on 10 years and I'd completely forgotten that I had them until I had a proper look around my Craft Room a few weeks ago.

It's my 30th Birthday tomorrow so I'm hoping to spend it pottering around the garden and hopefully crafting with another of these cute designs!

Merry Christmas from a Snowy Couple!
Good Morning!
Well unfortunately I didn't get any cards made during my fortnight off work, re-organising and dusting my Craft Room was the closest I got! I found out halfway through my time off that I had been given an Allotment so as you can understand my time was taken up with that lol I made this card before work yesterday however as I had been itching to make a Christmas Card ... It's a little simpler than my usual style and shockingly, I haven't added any flowers!

July's Creative Inspirations Challenge!
Yet another month has flown by and I shamefully haven't had anything to share since my last Creative Inspirations card ... I am determined to make that change this month, even if it means starting to make the old Christmas Cards (eeek!) I know it's early but I'm starting to get the urge!
I didn't really have the time to colour up an image for my card so I dug out one of the pre-coloured designs that I have in a drawer by LOTV. As I've said before they're perfect for quick cards! This image is now available as a Simply Print and you can find it by clicking HERE.

We've got a new challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS and this month's theme is 'April Showers & Flowers!' Something nice and easy for you to play along with, as I'm sure a few people will be doing a lot of crafting due to what's going on right now!
This month's prize is from THE PAPER SHELTER and the prize is
3 IMAGES OF THE WINNER'S CHOICE!
For this month's challenge myself and my Design Team have all used the same Digi provided by the sponsor. It's a great way to show how one image can be used in various styles.
