Joy, Hope & Wonder

 

Good evening, hoping your Saturday has gone well? We have had lots of rain here and it feels so much cooler now.  I have been really busy today, clearing and sorting out my craft room.  Things had got really messy again and as I couldn't see some of the floor, it was definitely time to have a good clear out!

 

Over the next week, Little Claire are launching their Christmas 2013 stamps.  Here is the first of many, it is just gorgeous! Joy, Hope & Wonder is a really lovely image to colour.  It comes with the sentiment that I have stamped on the side of the card.  You can purchase it HERE.

 

A quick and simple card today, using lovely Craft Creation's papers, some doodling and a couple of bright pink pearls to tie in with the papers.

 

Off to sort my boxes of stamps and papers next then may catch a film this evening with the family.

 

Have a lovely weekend!

Flower-Pot Card - Friday Blog Project

 

Good afternoon, hope you have had a good Friday? I have been feeling under the weather today, probably due to this heat.  Am still doing the rain dance, no rain here for over a week now, I do hope we get some soon.

 

 

 

Anyway, it is my turn to do the blog project today over at Little Claire.  I have used the fabby new 'Dinky' - 'Flowerhead' stamp that can be purchased for only £2.00 from the website HERE.

 

I have been asked by lots of ladies for a tutorial for this flower pot card.  The original card I made was using the larger image which works just as well, but I do love this 'dinky' version, the instructions of which can be found HERE.

 

Am going to have a lazy evening and weekend, if I am feeling better, I will hopefully get lots of crafting in, keeping cool indoors.  Whatever you do, have a lovely weekend!

Ali-Craft Monthly Challenge # 2 - 'Butterflies'

Good afternoon, here is my DT project for this month's Ali-Craft Monthly Challenge. The theme this month is 'Butterflies' and the DT have come up with some gorgeous cards.

 

Here is mine, a tag using some 'Kaisercraft' stamps, Bo Bunny Paper and distress inks.  I have used a cute bee charm and some lush cream ric-rac ribbon that has been calling to me for some time now.

 

The prize this month is a voucher for £15.00 to spend on the Ali-Craft website.

 

 

Am really trying to enjoy all of this good weather that we are having, but finding it hard to sleep I must say I will be glad when we get some rain.  I love the sunshine but it just doesn't like me, so I will be staying inside with a large drink watching the tennis today and tomorrow.

 

I had a lovely trip to the Craft Barn today, yes I did partake of a few goodies ;) where I met a lovely lady who I have blogged with from afar for ages, Helen Chilton.  Wow, what a super lady! Her work is just amazing and the colours are spectacular. She is so inspiring, am going to find my new distress inks and have a messy session and I must say, having met lots and lots of famous crafters, she is just possibly the nicest and generous of all.

 

Ok off to fix some tea and chill out lol!

 

Have a great Saturday,

 

Heidi

Daisy, Daisy

 

Good evening, I cannot believe that it is the 2nd July already, although the weather has been awful here today, all cold and miserable - it feels just like Autumn!

 

Am sharing a couple of projects made using the gorgeous new July Club Stamp set from Little Claire called, 'Daisy, Daisy'.

 

 

I have made a little card around the sentiment, having stamped the large daisy image around the card.  Also including the 'Daisy Dot' alphabet, I have altered this little bag adding ribbon and some lovely gingham paper.

 

 Ok off to catch up with my soaps on the box,
