You bring sunshine


Hello. I know, I know - there are raindrops on a card about the sun! But I smudged a little bit of glue, so now you know why the raindrops are there. 

The sentiment stamp and papers are from Simon Says Stamp.The dies are by Lawn Fawn, they are just new but already I can tell I will use them a lot.

See you on Sunday with my DigiStamp Boutique card.

Mother's Day


 Hello. Here I am with Sunday's DigiStamp Boutique card.
I used a gorgeous image from the 'Blooming Lovely' set
You also get four useful sentiments.
I coloured with my pencils and the papers are from 
Lili of the Valley.

So, yes. I did make it to the SECC for Hobbycrafts. I got a few bits and bobs but was really disappointed with the show. I think a lot of the companies have stopped making the trip north. Might think about going south for the next one. Can anyone tell me which is the best one?

love blooms


Hello. I was looking for something a little bit different and found these - Dilly Beans Digi Stamps. These images are great for colouring practice - I used my pencils. 

The Hobbycraft Show in Glasgow starts tomorrow. I missed the last one due to my Mum's house move so I was looking forward to this one. The only thing is we are taking delivery of some new furniture on Friday and the charity van is coming tomorrow to pick up the old stuff. Not keen on going at the weekend it's far too busy (and I don't have sharp elbows). Please keep your fingers crossed for me that the van comes early!
