Bathtime Bobbi - cute as a button!

 Hello. It's Sunday and so I have my regular card featuring an image from The DigiStamp Boutique. This week I have used Bathtime Bobbi. He is totally adorable all snuggled up in his blanket. I coloured the image with copic pens.

The polka dot paper can be found here in the Buttons for Brains shop as part of a cardmaking kit.

Mum's Palace

Hello. It's Sunday and my regular visitors will know this is the day I share my DigiStamp Boutique card, so here I am! How many of you would love to have a little crafty palace like this one? I know I would. 

It actually reminds me of Calamity Jane when Doris day was giving her little shack the 'woman's touch' - am I showing my age now?

I coloured the image with copics. The gingham paper and accordion flower stickers are available to buy in the Buttons for Brains shop.

Hello. I've not done a Monday's News post for ages. Been so busy with the shop opening and magazine commissions, not complaining though - I love it! 

Anyhoo, I have a cute set of cards in Papercraft Essentials. I got to play with some of the new Penny Black stamps and did some watercolouring. But you'll need to hurry if you want a copy, the new issue is out this Thursday (but that'll be next Monday's news).

See you tomorrow with my Papertake Weekly Challenge design team card.
