Back from sunny Ibiza!

Hello. Just got back yesterday from a wonderful holiday in sunny Ibiza. No, I didn't go clubbing! We stayed here in Santa Eularia. Really good to have the sun on your face. Lazing by the pool most days, listening to music and reading. And we couldn't have asked for a better room - a beautiful sea view and waking every morning to a gorgeous sunrise.

 And lazy chilled out nights spent here -

So anyway, here we are back home and it's hailstones. Could someone please tell the weather boss it's nearly June! Rightyho, some cases to unpack and washing to do but I'll be round for a catch up as soon as I can.

Tweet me sometime...

Hello. I'm back home in Scotland safe and sound. My final Trimcraft demo just over the English border in Carlisle was a success. The demo was busy with lots of folk coming and going but two lovely ladies spent the whole day with me and I will share the cards we made later this week.

Hello. Well that's my Trimcraft demo in Edinburgh done and dusted. Last one of the season is next week, just over the Scottish border by 10 miles, in Carlisle. 

So I'm here now with my weekly DigiStamp Boutique card. There's some super cute new releases - the cute unicorn (that I used on my card), some gnomes and some super cute kittys. All on special offer and available here.

I used Copic marker pens to colour and the paper is from Lili of the Valley. I added a few sequence for a bit of sparkle.
