Merry & Bright

Hello. I hope everyone is well. Life is getting in the way of my crafting and blogging at the moment (long story - but briefly - my Mum has decided to move to a retirement flat so I'm up to my ears with lawyers, estate agents, tidying etc). Hopefully I will get back to normal service soon!

Anyway, the DigiStamp Boutique has some super cute little Pixes just in. I coloured with copics and the papers are 'winter wonderland' by MME. 

That's it from me today - off to clear out another cupboard!

Monday's news

This weeks news is all about magazines! 

I have a super cute set of cards in the 'pull out and keep' section of Papercraft Essentials using the adorable 

Tiddly Inks stamps.

One of my cards made it onto the front cover....

I also have a pretty set of cards in Creative Cardmaking using the free cover gift - a Polka Doodle cardmaking kit.

So, you know the drill. When you see these magazines in your local newsagent, supermarket or craft shop - move them to the front!!

 

Garden Treats

Hello. My local craft shop is selling off all their wood mounted stamps half price. They have quite a few Penny Blacks so some of them came home with me, including this one! I do love the original PB's  - cats, hedgies, bears and the rest. Probably because they lend themselves best to watercolouring - my very favourite way of colouring.

I think I have made a card using a layout similar to this one before - I am loving white space at the mo'.

I am entering the 'anything goes' challenge over at Cute Card Thursday.

We have a winner....

I asked hubby to shout out a number between 1 and 28 and guess what - he shouted number 1 ('cos he said I would always be his number one - aww!)

So, let's see. That's you...

Aunty Sue
