Hi everyone!

I'm here to share my card that I made John for our wedding anniversary last Wednesday

and funnily enough it is good for the 

LIM Challenge ~ add a Tag

The stamp set is from Avery Elle ~ Storybook,

 I've used a L'il Inker Designs tag and added to a card blank made with Anna Marie polka dot card.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

Choose a challenge or three.....

Just dropping by today with my card for the

Simply Embossing

Hello all .....

Christmas has now been tidied away for another year ~ and how huge does my lounge look?!

So onto my card....and today I have played with an embossing folder and a Lil Inkers bow die.....
simple but effective.

Wishing you all well.

The BIG 4-0!

Happy weekend everyone!!

Today's card was for a friend - I printed a sheet of Pink Petticoat digital paper

WOW at LCI Midway reminder

Happy Tuesday !!

Today is my wedding anniversary but John is away on business and I'll probably spend the morning in yoga and take Lewis to a drum lesson after school....ho hum what happened to the days of wining and dining.

The Ladybug Crafts Ink challenge for this fortnight is 

'W.O.W. - White on White'

and my fantabulous image is Apple Tree

I have used Glossy Accents on the apples and Wink of Stella on the leaves but unfortunately you can't see this in the photo.

Thank you for stopping by

Spring too !

Hi all - a quick card from me again today.

I made this card for the CBS Challenge #10 - Spring

- the papers are from Pink Petticoat - very spring-like.

The image is called Design a tree and has so many uses I know 

it's going to be one of my favourites.

Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments

Spring

Hi all - a quick card from me today.

I made this card for the All Dressed Up - Spring

- the papers are from Nitwits - I just love the colours.

The fimo flowers have been in my stash for so long but thought I would dust them 

down and use them on this card.

Hope you have enjoyed your Good Friday - and that you have a lovely long weekend.

From All of Us

Something completely different from my usual today.

I recently bought a cover plate die from Lil Inkers and once I got it didn't have a clue what I'd do with it.....any how this is what I came up with after hours of surfing Pinterest !!

This is only half the cover die - I have used the other half on another card.

like it ??

Rugby Dad

Happy Friday !!

I was asked  to make a Rugby card for one of my friends but the difficulty was for the past three years she has asked for the same thing so I'm running out of images.

This time I came up with something totally different........

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.

a closer view

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
