Bad Blogger

Yes, I have been a bad blogger and my card classes do take up a lot of my time now but I have been inspired by imagine that's new stamp sets and here is a card using one of my favourites, 'Fluttering By'. The papers are from Stampin Up.

Penny Black Guest Designer - Final Week

Hi folks,

Well it's my final week as Guest Designer for the Penny Black Challenge and I would just like to say a very big thank you to all of you who checked out my blog and left lovely comments.  It has been a pleasure designing for them and I considered myself very lucky as I had four great themes to work with.  Talking of themes, this week's is a recipe, three flowers, two buttons and a bow.  I did not want to over-embellish my card so I used a PB stamp with three flowers to get me started, hope you like the end result.

Have a great week and thanks for looking.

Easter Pansy

Thought I would share with you a quick card I recently made, another stamp that has never seen the light of day but I love it and think it will now get a little over-exposed for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Blowing in the wind

I am determined this year to use stamps that I have bought over the years and that have never seen the light of day. This is one in particular, I thought at the time that it would be good for backgrounds, not sure now, might be good for a beach scene. Anyway, it's by Great Impressions.

Thanks for looking.

New Home

I recently made a new home card using my cricut and thought I would show you what I made with the negative lettering. I was quite pleased with the result and I thought ideal for a young trendy couple moving of even a fella. I never throw anything away.

Have a great week and thanks for looking.

Something Sweet

"Sweet for my sweet, sugar for my honey"

Hi there, now who remembers that song? It just sprang to mind when I saw the Penny Black challenge and now I can get it out of my head. Anyway, here's my entry for that challenge. I have used my ever faithful cat and this time he is holding a bar of chocolate, made from fimo, my 'something sweet' touch.

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking

Sketch and Stash No. 26

Hi everyone, Happy New Year to you all.

Like many of you I have made various crafty new year's resolutions, one being that I buy no more patterned/designer papers, and I'm doing well, we are four days into 2010 and I haven't bought any.....lol, and there have been a couple of opportunities I might add. Anyway enough waffle, here's my entry into the Sketch and Stash challenge no. 26. The main image is one of my oldies and its by Penny Black, the sentiments are from Imagine That and Hobby Art.

Thanks for looking and have a great week.
