Little Miss Muffet #69...Pink & Grey

Good afternoon everyone,

Hope you've all had a fab week so far and managed to fit some crafting in. If you have it's more than I've managed as my new printer didn't arrive until Tuesday and I've not had a chance to install it yet or print anything digital! I hope to rectify that tomorrow though!

It's time for another new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet and it's a rather cool colour challenge of PINK & GREY! I absolutely love these colours together and don't use them often enough...something else I need to rectify...I'll end up with a list as long as my arm at this rate!

You can find some fab inspiration from the Little Misses over on the challenge blog. Have fun!

Cupcake anyone?

Good morning everyone, thank you so much to Shirley, Nikki, Sharon and Sari who all left comments on my post for help choosing a new printer. Thank you so much for taking the time to offer advice, it is very much appreciated.

I recently found a lovely little digi stamp company, The Paper Nest Dolls, via my blogging buddy Karen and they sell the most adorable little images that are all inspired by the owners (Christine) children. I have purchased a few digi's but they were also offering this cute little cupcake image as a freebie so I thought I would use this one first, she's too cute!

Card recipe and links are below and I hope you all have a wonderful crafty weekend!

Just a Little Note...

Good morning to you all

Hope you've all had a good week and that any poorlies amongst you are feeling a bit better now.

I'm sharing some little note cards that I was asked to make for a lady at work. They're 3" square and I made them up out of scraps found in my scrap drawer. They didn't take too long to make either so I might make some more to keep for those little emergencies when we need to send a quick note to someone.

There's a new challenge today over at A Gem of a Challenge...we want to see flowers on your cards (and lots of them) plus there is also a DT call. Pop on over for all the details.
