Happy Monday!

I made this card for a video tutorial over in my

VIP Customer group on facebook.

It's one of those stamp sets you just get out and have a play with.

There is no right or wrong way and I think

each card comes out differently, depending on your colour

choices and set up.

I have stamped, ink blended and water coloured.

I thought this would be a great card for someone

going through a tough time and I have a person in mind

and know that it will be appreciated.

It's so cold and damp here today after such a lovely day yesterday.

We went bowling with my son Milo and daughter in law Baiba.

Such great fun but felt like the golden oldies!!

Shake things up!

I have a shaker card to share today using the brand new

Framed Florets bundle and Fitting Florets dsp.

This was the 3rd card in my October customers kit

and I can tell you it was fun trying to get some sequins into

little bags 😂

I cut the frame and added some vellum for my shaker

and popped in some sequins.

The colours are balmy blue and evening evergreen.

The sentiment was stamped onto the vellum.

and this fortnight Sandie has gone with

So no excuses, come and join in.

For my tag I have used Framed Florets

at the bottom of my tag, watercoloured using my pencils and

blender pen. I stamped the flowers twice so I could 3d them.

The background has been coloured with pencils and wink of stella.

I add a piece of the dsp from Fitting Florets and then stamped

the sentiment in black.

I finished with some pool party ribbon.

Happy Halloween!

This is another card I made up for my October customers.

I have used the beautiful Framed Florets bundle and Fitting Florets dsp

available in my shop from tomorrow!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

These are the treats I made for the Grandsons.

Bit of a blurry photo but I simply filled some

Halloween cups with treats. I then made rosette,

inked up with black for a spooky feel.

I added some chocolate coins to the front and a spider to the back.

They were attached to a straw and stuck in their cups.

The boys did love them thankfully.

My 9 year old Grandson said: 'you put so much work into these Granny

and now we are just going to dismantle them'!

He does make me smile that boy!!

happy to see tomorrow morning!!

Enjoy your day, whatever you are up to!
