50th Anniversary

Morning peeps, hope you're all having a good week so far especially those of you with children on half-term.

The weather has been pretty lousy here, just typical for the school hols...bet we'll have a heatwave next week when they're back in school!

I'm sharing a 50th Anniversary card today and I absolutely love these adorable little bears, I thought they were perfect for the occasion. The design papers are probably my all time fav papers and I've teamed them with some kraft coloured card stock!

DigiStamp Boutique...New Releases (Bobbi Set)

Good morning you lovely lot,

I'm here to share details of some gorgeous new digis that have been released by the DigiStamp Boutique this week. Sally-Ann has created a brand new Bobbi image in a sitting pose, that you can add to the wall, tree trunk, swing or present, before printing. I merged the images on my card, in Publisher but they are quite easy to merge in Word too! You can find the Bobbi set here

This set of images are currently available as offer of the month at £1.99 for all 5 images...absolute bargain me thinks!

If you're popping over to the shop now you can also checkout the new Florence and Festive Pixie images here...they're totally fab and I want them all!

Morning everyone, just a quickie post from me today as I'm running late and really shouldn't be on here.

I just wanted to share my Dad's Father's Day card...I'm safe coz he doesn't look at my blog! It's a fairly clean and simple design and I've mounted the lettering on dimension pads to give it a raised effect.

Cupcake Craft Challenge 168...Two's Company

Good morning everyone, hope you have all had a lovely crafty weekend! We have a fab new challenge for you today over at Cupcake Craft Challenge...my gorgeous teamie Delphine has chosen the theme which is called TWO's COMPANY! The idea is to have two or more characters on your work (coming from the same stamp or different stamps)...animals don't count...but fairies and angels are OK!

I made this card for a 10 year old and 11 year old that were being Christened and I took my image and flipped it so they were facing each other and I made one slightly taller than the other. This is one of the things I love about digital images, they are so versatile!

We are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the winner gets to choose 4 digital images of their choice!

Novembers Cupcake on the Icing sponsor is Crafts U Love and the lucky winner will win a £15 Gift Voucher.

Get Well Card

Afternoon all...brrrr...it feels really chilly here today even though the sun has been shining brightly! I'm feeling a lil' bit sad today as I've sold my Cricut Expression and I was having big regrets whilst packing it up ready for despatch! Too late now though it's already winging it's way in a Parcelforce van to its new owner! I have treated myself to a new daylight craft lamp though...hope it arrives soon to cheer me up!

Here's a pretty quick and easy get well card I made...I found this brilliant image over at Karen's Doodles and it's just perfick for those difficult male cards...especially when they are poorly!

21st Birthday Card

G'morning all...it's gone a bit chilly here...very windy last night and very difficult to get a piccy of this card without it being blown all around the garden lol! I've straightened out the slight crease on the bottom right hand corner of the card...glad I spotted that before it went in the envie!

I made this card for a neighbour of ours...I didn't want anything cutesie on it so thought I'd blow the dust of my Cricut Expression and cut some numbers...quite pleased with the way it turned and hopefully suitable for a 21 year old lad!

I'm gonna enter my card into the following challenges...
