Swirls and Flourishes

The theme this week for Sweet Pea Stampers is Swirls and Flourishes. So i decided to use one of my new SP stamps for this week.

The flourish stamp I used is by Autumn Leaves ( and then I used stickles over the top) The figure 8 border is by Martha Stewart. A little card candy, some prima flowers and nestabilities and the card is complete.

Anything Goes!

This week the theme at Sweet Pea Stampers is Anything Goes. So I decided to use my favourite colour. I also added a little flower to her forehead which I think looks sweet. Thanks for stopping by.

Black White and Blue

Hello, boy it's been a while eh? I've been busy working on a non-craft related project. Anyhow, the theme this week at Sweet Pea Stampers is Black, White and one other colour. I had not planned on entering this week but I needed a break so made this card. Luckily I already had the image coloured with copics.

I put the white card through the cuttlebug embossing folder, then blended weathered wood and stormy sky distress inks over the top. I added some blue gem brads, black grosgrain ribbon, a butterfly and a button and hey presto!

I love this image - it is so peaceful.

Imagine

I feel honoured and privaleged to be the guest designer this week for Sweet Pea Stampers .

The theme is Earth Wind and Fire. I've had these jigsaw pieces for ages and never opened the packet - well now I have. So here are the key ingredients for my entry for Sweet Pea Stampers this week - apart from my copics (inlcuding one of my new stamps from Crafts and Me).

NB - update to this post. I have been contacted to find out where I got the Jigsaws from - they were from Lakeland and they no longer sell craft items, but google pointed me in the direction of Handy Hippo - so you can buy them from there.

And this is what I made!

Strawberry Watch

I've created a monster! A monster obsessed with Alpine Strawberries! I have a little pot containing some strawberry plants and they began to get ripe last weekend. They are little alpine ones and look like this... teeny small - just like my dog!

So I picked the first one and a little face appeared - so stupid me - I shared it with her... Now she is on strawberry watch!

Every time I let her in the garden she heads straight for the strawberries and just sits there - waiting to see if there is a ripe one for her. My bad!

Happy Father's Day

I am a bit behind at the moment as I am doing some pre-study for a 3-day intensive course I am starting on Monday but I am having lunch with my Dad tomorrow so made this card. Wish I had more time to make something better.

He has been so great this past year. After I was burgled he paid for all new locks on all the doors and windows of my house, external security lights and a house alarm... all so I could feel safe again.

So this Father's Day I have a lot to thank him for.

Happy Father's Day!
