Fairy Frog Prince


It's the second week of Michele's theme fairies/faeries
over at
I went to get an entirely different stamp set but when I accidently
came across this little stamp I decided to use it.

I had the square already cut from a different project and thought it would make
an interesting shape for my tag.
I stamped and coloured the image with blends,
then stamped the happy birthday sentiment around the edges.
It just fitted perfectly!

I am doing a lot of memories albums at the minute.
My customers some how found out, by word of mouth,
and now I am getting orders for them.
It's not a road I wanted to go down but hard to say no.
I do enjoy making them, but they take a lot of time to fill with photos
and the price of ink now is a killer!! 

Anyway back to my tag lol.
The little stamp I used is from Papermania, called Frog Prince!

Easter Bunny


I have an Easter card to share today, I know very early lol
but needs must.

I wanted to finished off my second note card pack so
thought an Easter card would be a good one to add.

I followed the lovely sketch and inspiration over at
and was totally inspired by all, but especially one of the ladies cards,
hence the wee fancy border and added vellum circle.


I finished off the inside with some little Easter eggs.

I'm just back from a long walk around the Lakes here
and it is such a gorgeous bright sunny morning.
Did my heart good!
But boy the ducks and swans down there have left their poop
EVERYWHERE lol.
You really had to watch your step!

melon mambo card and white card.
The image is from a stamp set called New Wonders (R).

Day at the farm...





Happy Monday.
My card today is a tent fold swing card.
It is made for a child and I will add the age to the space in the centre.
Perfect for a little boy or girl who loves farm animals.
The animals have all been hand cut from the papers
and I used layering rectangles for the frames.
These papers are free with a £45 spend during Sale-a-bration!


I have left the back area blank so I can add a personalised
birthday verse.

This is the side view, showing the swing part in the centre.
I do have a tutorial over in my VIP Group.
