Double post!


A day late with my post but we are just
back from a lovely holiday in Fuerteventura.
So nice to get a bit of sunshine!!!

Anyway our theme over at
is Spring or anything goes (Stamping).

We do of course have some prizes up for grabs
so be sure and join us.

For my card I stamped directly onto my card
using a stamp set called Daffodil Daydream (SU).
The flowers have been coloured with markers
and I have added some glitter but it
does not show up in my very yellowy photo!
I added a line of embossing around the
edges to finish the card.

Our new challenge over at
has a theme of Wildlife/plants/animals
so lots of choice there.

We also have some great prizes up for grabs
here too some get your entries in now.

For my card I embossed my background using
a very old embossing folder but can't see a name.
I added a wrap of lace then stitched
around it on my sewing machine.
I stamped, coloured with markers, and
cut out the birds from a stamp set called
Free as a Bird (SU),
and added across the lace.
I finished with a stamped sentiment onto
a shape die cut from Stitched Nested Labels (SU)
and adhered two blue hearts.

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

Fingers crossed she is on the road to recovery!!
Both parents are totally wrecked as well as her Granny😂
