Gem of a girl!

First addition in a while as I have been busy nursing my youngest back to health again, she's doing well now! This stamp was purchased a few weeks ago but only getting around to using it now. It's Fairy Sprinkles from http://www.pinkgemdesigns.co.uk I think she is toooo cute. I was using up some scraps as I do seem to have quite a few bits and pieces lying around so I thought the blue, brown, pink and lime green were a good combination. The images was coloured using Faber Castell pencils, the die cut flowers I got from E-Bay, the brad is from Papermania as is the little sentiment. I finished with come Stickles glue. The little frame cam free with a magazine. Enjoyed this one and really like the colours.

Looking after my wee one

Have'nt had a change to create anything new of late as I have been looking after my daughter who had a nasty fall from her horse and shattered her elbow and humerous, resulting in extensive surgery and a long rehabilitation period. So i'm rather tied up trying to make life a little easier for her at the moment. May take her out for a drive tomorrow and that may include a trip to the new craft shop in town, so I may be tempted to conjure up something new later in the week.

Friendship Flowers

These papers are my most recent digital purchase. The are from www.primahybrid.com, from their Beautiful Day selection. They are just lovely, very feminine, just what I like! The stamped sentiment is from See Dee's, stamped with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Tea Dye. A little ribbon from salvaged from a wedding invitation with pearls added. Understated, I like this one.

Birthday Sparkle

That last addition for the Dare you to Digi Stamp challenge has put me in the mood!! Loved the Pink Petticoat's "Lola's Rose" paper so I thought I'd use it here too, just in a different colour. The striped paper is from the same collection "Lola's Boudoir" as is the little stamp, the crown has been glittered using my ever faithful Stickles glue, love it!! Added some flowers from Prima and Green Tara and a little heart shaped brad from Papermania. The border was cut using my Carla Craft punch. Think this has turned out well!

Challenge Card

Just created this for the Dare you to Digi Stamp Challenge. This week the theme was lemon and lilac, a first for me haven't used this combination before but they look pretty together. The card is printed with Lola's Rose, from Pink Petticoat, Lola's Boudoir Collection. The yellow card was also printed from Pink Petticoat's colour palette, in Sunshine. The image is from Lola's Boudoir. I used my Cuttlebug to cut some little blooms and embellished these with little gems from Doodlebug Designs. The brad is from the Laura Ashley Collection. Finished with a little heart border cut using a order punch from Carla Crafts. Really like this colour combo!

Quick Cutie

Just a little quickie to pass the time! Lilac card blank from stash, patterned Paper from Pink Petticoat, Little Swirls and a little floral embellishment from Artoz. I added a little sentiment stamp by See Dees and used my corner punch from Carla Crafts for a little detail. Nice.
