Lili of the Valley Design Team - Penguin Photo Strip

  Good Afternoon!

Christmas has arrived at Lili of the Valley with some brand new designs based around the fun of a photo booth! I managed to get this card made whilst the baby was having a nap yesterday, I'd been itching to make something for a few days. The Christmas photo booth designs feature snowmen, penguins, robins and reindeer and today's card is using the penguin set.

We have all been lucky enough to use a digi provided by our sponsor The Paper Shelter for our creations this month.

 Good Morning!
I'm sharing another Father's Day card today as we're celebrating it today here in the UK. This card is the one that I have made for my Dad, the vintage boy designs by LOTV are perfect for male cards and this time I have used a Simply Print which you can find HERE. I've used a small rectangular base for a change for my card as I wanted to keep most of the focus on the image.INGREDIENTS -

Good Morning!
As you can imagine finding time to sit down and make card with a baby is slightly tricky however I did find time to make this C&S Father's Day using a LOTV Digi.

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  'Monochrome'.
To play along with this theme I decided to create a C&S thank you card using one of the smaller wooden PB stamps and kept it simple by only adding a sentiment and some clear dew drops. I rather like the simplicity of the card and will more than likely re-create it in different ink colours so that I've got a go to stash of these in my collection :)INGREDIENTS -

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Something New'.

I haven't played along with the theme as the only new thing I've purchased recently are Christmas design papers and today's card certainly isn't Christmassy lol I've coloured this PB stamp in fresh spring yellows & greens and layered it onto a white on white background. The papers I've used are actually embossed with different designs but unfortunately this is really hard to tell in the photograph :(INGREDIENTS -
