Happy 3rd Birthday Opal

 During half term we went to visit John's family in Kent and in the 
week my niece turned 3 - I can hardly believe she's 3 !!

I used the utterly gorgeous Robyn image from Ladybug Crafts Ink and added the
 number 3 to one of the balloons - with digi stamps this is soooo easy to do.

and here is little Opal blowing her candles out on her Peppa Pig
 cake that my friend made for her.....it was fantabulous !!
(my biggest fear was that it wouldn't make the 260 mile journey in one piece but as you can see - it did !)


Thank you for stopping by

Simply Stars

A clean and simple card made in two different colours....

I needed a couple of quick cards for two men and my new stamps had just arrived from Clearly Besotted so I decided to ink them up. Cards do look much better irl.
The sentiment stamp is also a new one from Paper Smooches.

A touch of blue.....

A card I was asked to make for a Hedgehog lover !!

I had purchased this image from Digistamp Boutique a long time ago

Vintage look

Happy Saturday - weather has been awful but compared to a 
lot of the UK we have been very lucky...

I have used a paper pad that I was introduced to my fellow bug Julie - and it is 
totally gorgeous....do you ever like paper that much you don't
 want to use but keep for yourself !!!

The die cut leaf was part of a gift from Julie for my birthday - I love them - the button is a SU and the beautiful crochet lace trim from Kerry at LCI.




Hope you liked my card - Celia was very happy with it.

Stay safe during this awful weather....

Pretty in Pink

Did I tell you about my new printer ?? Well it's a Canon MX925 and it prints 
on 300gsm card - I'm sooooo chuffed !! It means I can now print DP on card stock and 
use it as  my base card :0)

I found this Digi paper on Etsy and fell head over heels straight away.





I love the image and thing she is perfect for a girlie card.

I'd like to enter the following challenge

Simply 14

I have quite a few 14 year old cards to make for Lewis' friends and I didn't want to be spending hours on them so I came up with a very simple card.
Using a couple of old Accucut dies that I found hidden - I die cut the numbers 
and then with a brand spanking new die MFT Blueprints 1 I die cut the tag
 - added a black brad and put it all together......simples !!





Thank you for stopping by - don't forget tomorrow the ladybugs are back with a brand new challenge.
See you then
Hugs
