Happy Birthday Thomas!

Happy Fourth Birthday to Thomas.

I used a DigiStamp Boutique image on the card and if you look closely there are four buttons and four gems ;-)

With Sympathy

I have shied away from making 'with sympathy' cards for years.  There have been occasions (of course) when perhaps I should have sent one, but I just couldn't put that sentiment on the card- it usually ended up being a 'thinking of you' or 'best wishes'/'with love' card.
Recently someone suggested making these cards at random times and having a few in stock- that way you don't have to make them when you are mourning the loss of someone.  I thought I would give it a go. This is a simple card with brush stroke lettering (Digi Stamp Boutique) and handmade flowers.

First Day at School

Coming to the end of the school holidays and there will be a fair few five-year olds around the country getting ready to start school in the next few weeks.
These cards use DigiStamp Boutique images.

Bring on the snow

Best start making a few more Christmas cards... (slap wrist for not doing many so far!)

The image on this one is from DigiStamp Boutique.

Sketch Saturday #477

This weeks Sketch Saturday challenge is sponsored by Crafty Sentiment Designs.  They have some lovely images, so please check them out. One lucky winner will get to choose 3 images for free.

 I used a Vicky and Violet image on my card.

Hope you are inspired to join in this week :-)

Hugs

I know someone who likes to send cards to her friends with the sentiment 'hugs' on the front.  I guess it is quite a good 'cover all bases' greeting.  I made these two cards using stamped images I found in my drawer... 

Stewie Wedding

Cute mice getting married?  What else can be better for a one-of-a-kind wedding card?

 The images on both these cards are from a set by DigiStamp Boutique.

Tennis Ralph

Schools out and it's summer!  What's better than hitting a ball around and messing about playing tennis?

Image is a recent release from DigiStamp Boutique.

We Three Kings

I know everyone else did 'Christmas in July' to get them kick started with Christmas crafting... I'm a bit late but I printed off some images from a set I bought last year from DigiStamp Boutique but didn't get round to using.

 I love these sets as you can arrange the images how you like to make little 'scenes' :-)

Clever Sausage

It's approaching A-Level results time and so I made a congrats card using one of my favourite DigiStamp Boutique images - clever sausage (dog).

Art in the Park Leamington 2017

I have been busy making for Art in the Park this weekend over the last few weeks.  The theme of the event is the Three Graces (3 elephants which lived in Leamington to entertain visitors to the spa).  So anything elephant/circus/floral.

 Crochet wreath with dragonfly.

 Crochet mandala with flowers.

 Zentangled Elephant.

 Cupcake and flower crochet brooches.

 Elephant brooches and bunting.

Sketch Saturday #475

This weeks Sketch Saturday challenge is sponsored by MMedelIllustrations on Etsy.  I love their designs- so cute.  One lucky winner will get 2 free digital images and a discount coupon.

I have used the fox from the 'Bear, Fox and Bunny' set along with some new papers that I bought in May for my birthday (present to self!).  How do you like these flowers?  Trying out a different variation of my normal handmade ones....
Hope you are inspired to join in this week :-)

Summer Louie

I spotted that Sally Ann of DigiStamp Boutique had been drawing again recently and I jumped for joy!  I love her digis :-)
These two cards were made from the recently released Louie summer set.

Cutie Pie

A while since I have made a baby card and I thought it is always good to have one in stock (Mum asks for them at random occasions, when I didn't even know someone had been pregnant).  This one uses a DigiStamp Boutique image.
