Magnificant Madison!


This girl has attitude and I love it! I like personalities with a little touch of rebellion in them, reminds me of my younger self. Ahhh the good old days! Teamed this image up with yet another paper from http://pinkpetticoat.co.uk/ it's from the pretty doodles range and is pistachio green, also used cranberry solid colour from the same range, used my cuttlebug for some flowers and embellished them with some gems and sequins from Papermania. finished with my all time favourite Stickles glue. Added a little sentiment using my computer, "Just being me", I think that's what we all should do!

Colourful Cupcake


I was reading my list of blogs that I follow over the weekend and I came across this cute little cupcake which was offered as a freebie on some very generous bloggers' page, it came courtesy from Vanessa, over at http://ellepiggo.blogspot.com thanks Vanessa! I have teamed the image up with some papers from the Sweet Sundaes range from http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/ I coloured the image with my Faber Castell pencils and added a little Stickles glitter just because I can't help myself! The little flowers and gems are from papermania. Simple colours and design, cute.

Second of the day.


Was reading one of my older copies of card magazines yesterday, and forgot I had this little download. I came across an article in Simply Cards and Papercraft, written by Jenni Shawyer. She had a few examples of her favourite cards and I fell for the one made using this download from
www.daisiecompany.com , Gina Jane's Chocolate Craving Kit. I love the colours and just adore the little chocolate, speaking as a confirmed chocoholic!! Good enough to eat I think!

Welcome Madison!



Doesn't this young lady look so swish! OK, she's in her underwear but I just love this little image, downloaded from http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ and she is part of the "Holly and Madison" collection. This is a great selection of trendy young females, my daughters just adore these pair. My colour choice seems to be a favourite of mine at the moment, I really love brown and teamed it up with some different shades of pink, can't help myself, I know!! Hope you like it as much as I do!

Pamper time Holly!


I really like the way this card has turned out, I generally don't plan cards, I just pick a stamp and a selection of colours and hope for the best. All the sketches look great, but I never seem to follow any, sometimes this works other times not so much! This image was downloaded from
http://www.blogger.com/www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk and is part of the Holly and Madison collection. I think these images are great and create beautiful teenage cards.

Just a few ATC's made from some scraps that have taken up residence on my desk for a few weeks now. I'd forgotten how much of a pleasure they are to make, quick, cheap and cheerful!!
