Seeing double!

Sorry about this but I just had to change the sentiment tag for one that didn't detract from the image. Thank goodness for photoglue that's all I can say! I'm much happier with this card now and must remember to take a step back before posting in future.

New Elzybells stamp

One of my new Elzybells stamps and it's really cute. Stamps beautifully as do they all and takes a couple of minutes to colour. Took me so much longer to do the sentiment and now it looks scarily bright - never mind.

Thanks for looking.

Elzybells Free P&P this weekend

Just a heads up for any fans of Elzybells stamps - Elizabeth is offering free p&p this coming weekend: Saturday 28th - Monday 30th. I love her stamps as you may have noticed and will be making out my wishlist tonight. You can find the shop here.

Elzybells Challenge - Polka Dots

Well this is a first for me - posting a card before I go off to work! Started it last night and have just finished it off. Using my new mini messages again and my new Sizzix flourish die which I've chopped into bits because it's rather on the large side. It looks a bit bare at the bottom but I think less is more in this case - in other words I can't think of anything to put there that wouldn't spoil it!! Thanks for looking.

New Home Card with New Stamps

Well I've been on holiday this week and the weather has been superb. Haven't done a lot of crafting but I was itching to use my new Elzybells stamps which I've treated myself to. So today I got my bum in gear and made this. It was a bit of an experiment for me as I've never made an aperture card before but I'm right pleased with how it's turned out.

Card stock is SU - paper is Zoe Pearns Cottage Garden which I love - stamp is one of the lovely new mini messages - 'a little hello' as is the sentiment. There are oodles of great little stamps and sentiments on the one sheet and something for every occasion. I shall be using these a lot.

Thanks for looking.

Elzybells Sketch Challenge

I can't remember the last time I managed to make a challenge card but when I saw this great sketch by Michelle on the Elzybells blog I thought I'd give it a go. This is the first time I've used the little dog and he stamped beautifully. Papers are a Kay Miller download and sentiment is Elzybells of course.

Oh no.......another one!

Actually did make this today - just one of the cards from my fairy kit which was embossed so I chalked it - added a few buttons here and there and one of the little diecut fairies decoupaged. Teeny bit of glamour dust and now trying to decide where I can put a sentiment but that can wait.
