Sweet Wishes!


This little number has been made using the Sweet Sundaes range of papers from Pink Petticoat, I am such a fan of these convenient little downloads, I'm not on commission or anything I just love them! The backing paper is the flourishes from the pack and the little ice cream has been chosen from the sundae selection. I used some sticky ribbon from Anita's crafts and a little fabric flower from Prima, finished off with a little flowers shaped brad from Papermania, I couldn't help myself and thought this was a prime candidate for some Stickles glitter! Mmmmmmmmmm!

One of those successful failures!


This little mistake I thought I would post anyway. Its not exactly what I wanted to do, but it just sort of took on a life of its own! Patterned paper is from my usual stop, Pink Petticoat, its from the Old fashioned girl range, the ribbon is from Papermania as is the buttons the felt flower is from American Crafts I think. My daughters liked it, though it should be said they do have a bit of a love for the colour black!! Ah well, it's not too bad, is it?

Penny Black Happy Birthday


Created this happy little card using a Penny Black stamp. I think this stamp is lovely and always goes down well with my daughters' friends. Coloured using my Faber Castell watercolour pencils and mounted up on some gingham paper and blue card. The ribbon was donated by my daughter and the felt flower is from American Crafts. I finished off with a little Stickles glitter. Lovely!

Card for my love!


This card I created for my other half Gary. We have been married for almost 18years now and he is my one true friend. Even after all these years thoughts of him still touch my heart and make me smile. I love him dearly! I didn't want anything too feminine, though I have very little inspiration with it comes to male card making. This paper has been in my stash for quite a while as I loved the pattern and colours, but never really knew what to do with it. It is from Dream Street Papers, I distressed using Tim Holtz distressing inks, the scripted paper is from Pink Petticoat's Just an Old Fashioned Girl, the chipboard letter is from Prima, and has also been in my stash forever. The stamped lettering was made using SeeDee's alphabet though I'm not sure which, and Tim Holtz yet again. I couldn't help myself and added a little Laura Ashley fabric brad as well. I love this and when I presented it to Gary he was delighted. He's such an old romantic!

Sweet Valentine.


Just been creating some little Valentines and this is my first. I downloaded the "Old Fashioned Girl" pack from Pink Petticoat and I just adore. It is so simple yet extremely effective. The contrast of the red, white and black is so eye catching I think. The ribbon is fro Papermania and the little gems are from Doodlebug Designs. The flowers are from Papermania and Got flowers Deux. I just love the scripted writing showing through the polka dots and of course the little stamp, love birds, adorable!
