Mood board inspiration!


Today I am sharing my midway post for our challenge over at
where we have an optional mood board to inspire you.



We also have a lovely prize  from Crafty Individuals to the sum of £25
so be sure and get your entries in!!

For my card I was inspired by the pinks, bird and flowers.

I pulled out a retired stamp set called Free as a Bird.
The papers are new ones called Country Lace
and I used my blends to colour up the flowers and birds,
with added stencilled clouds.
The flowers and leaves were all hand cut and finished with a gem.

Baby Aimee's jaundice levels did not improve yesterday so she
was kept in for another night.
Just had text off her Mummy and she is getting home this morning
but has to go back at 8pm to get more bloods done.
Fingers crossed she is on the road to recovery!!
Both parents are totally wrecked as well as her Granny😂

New catalogues have been posted out.
I hope they will arrived safely. If you would like one
just drop me a message.

Thanks everyone for the lovely wishes for Baby Aimee.
Unfortunately they let Mum and Baby home on Sunday even
though Aimee had spent a lot of time in light therapy as
she was a bit jaundiced.
Yesterday they got a phone call from hospital to rush her
back over immediately for more treatment!
She was kept in overnight and I am waiting to see if
she has improved.
So scary for brand new parents and us!!

Anything goes


Our new theme over at
has been chosen by Sandie and she has made it very easy
with her 'anything goes' theme.

As our Grandson Tom's birthday is tomorrow I
thought I would make a little tag for his presents.

The background paper is from Bright and Beautiful dsp.
The cupcakes have been paper pieced at the bottom
and coloured with my markers for the tops.
I added the sentiment and some stars to finish it off.

I hope you get time to join us!!

card toppers/embellishments with this sweet pinwheel designs.
This is a great way to use up some pieces of dsp and card!!

You can combine with with different colours, use them as toppers
for a quick card, pop onto a box or add them to scrapbook layouts for added interest.

These ones have been layered with a smaller one on top.
You could add interest with embossing or stamping as well.
