PP Birthday!

I am a big fan of Pink Petticoat and just adore the papers in the Sweet Sundae's range. I just love the colours here, they remind me that spring is just around the corner, I hope!! The stamped image is little Lilli with a basket of flowers. The colours are so gentle and very girlie, just what I love !!

Penny Black Birthday

I really love the weekends as with everyone being off work there are so many more new creations appearing across all the blogs I'm following, its wonderful! I have so many little scraps of paper and cut-off's of card that I have decided to add what I can to some cards. This cute little guy is from Penny Black, I just think these little hedgehogs are so adoreable! I've really been trying to improve my colouring, I don't think I've done too badly here!

Something different.

Was clicking on my computer and came across this backing paper from one of my Pink Petticoat downloads. I like the pattern and colour, but boy I struggled to come up with something to go with it. I created a topper using some brown corrugated cards from my stash. I came across a scrap of spotty paper also from Pink Petticoat, "Just an old fashioned girl", so I cut a circle from it, punched a couple of holes and threaded some ribbon through and made a bow. I mounted this onto black card which I distressed around the edges with a nail file. I attached a stripe of gold card from my stash and attached the whole topper to it. I then used a sentiment from Crate Paper on some brown card and finished off with a little sparkly heart from my stash. Simple but a struggle too!

Sugar Nellie

This little girl is called Lola and she loves to gather flowers, what a lovely way to spend a day, I'd be up for that! I have really enjoyed stamping this week and using my Whispers markers to colour. Great!

on a roll today!

Have really enjoyed myself today, I had an unexpected day off work and was motivated enough to get the dreaded housie stuff out of the way early so I would have some playtime! I have been busy since early afternoon playing with my bits of paper and stamps, it was wonderful and guilt free! This little image is Maggie, would you like to meet her? She is from Sugar Nellie designs and i think she is so sweet!
