 Hello. It's giveaway time again! 

I have four brand new 6x6 paper pads to send to two lucky followers.

On Sunday 12th June at 6pm I will randomly pick two names from the comments on this post. 

You will each get two paper pads!

Spread the word. I would like as many folk as possible to be in with a chance to win 

some very pretty paper.

You quack me up!

Hello. My card today features a new stamp set by SugarPea Designs called Quackers. I do love a 'punny' sentiment. Once again I used my Inktense pencils to colour.

So, the Christmas crafty box has been dug out the cupboard - a magazine assignment popped into my in-box! After all, it's only 31 weeks till the big day!!

I'm glad we're friends

Hello. I know, posting two days in a row! What have they done with the real Liz? So this one features stamps from the Snuggle Bunnies set by My Favourite Things. The papers are 'meadow sweet' from Craft Asylum.

I used Inktense watercolour  pencils to colour - still my favourites after all this time!

Let the beauty we love...

Hello. I've missed the last few Unity Facebook challenges but when I saw this week was 'butterflies' I had to join in. Butterflies are one of me favourite things on a card. This butterfly is from the May 2014 kit of the month. It's a real modern take on a butterfly!

I'm a bit peeved tho'. In real life the butterflies are a lovely lilac and soft green colour. But try as I might - daylight on the window ledge, lightbox, adjusting the angle - they look blue! You'll just need to take my word for it!!

Yesterday I was at the beauty salon for a haircut - I also got my mousy brown/white/grey hair coloured. I am now lovely shades of blonde (and looking to have more fun!) It's taking a bit of getting used to but hubby says I'm very cute - bless him. I've never had my hair coloured before, quite the experience, and who knew there was another use for tin foil!!

Magical

Hello. So summer seems to have arrived. Although maybe I shouldn't speak too soon as it is decidedly chillier today! Anyway, I have a bright, happy card to share. I treated myself to some of the new MFT goodies from this month's release. These stamps are from the 'Magical Unicorns' set. I also got the 'Snuggle Bunnies' set - but more of that another day!

Magazine News

Hello. Thought I would let you know about the cards I have in this month's Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. They are in the cardmakers challenge section and I got to use some cool Hot Off The Press templates.

This month's free gift is a gorgeous stamp and die set by Altenew called 'build-a-rose. 

A real must have!

news - you turn me on

Hello. I have a very quick and easy card to share! The stamps are from the 'Boob Tubes' (what a fab name!) set by Paper Smooches. Really easy to colour with your pens and a quick trim around. The paper is by Simple Stories. It's a 6x6 paper pad called 'I heart summer'. Every sheet is bold and bright - love it!

So here we are it's nearly May and it was snowing again yesterday. When, oh when is summer going to arrive?

because it has a song

Hello. Long time no see! I'm afraid this little blog and indeed making cards is taking a bit of a back seat the moment. Life, and the stuff it throws at you, is well and truly getting in the way. Hopefully it'll not be too long before I'm in full swing again!

This little quirky card has been made using Jofy stamps by Paperartsy and I coloured using Prismacolour pencils.

I'll be back at some point over the weekend with another giveaway and I've just looked out the window - it's snowing!!

sunshine and happy days

Hello. Sunshine? Not so much! Happy Days? Yes! I won last week's Unity Challenge with this card. A prize bundle of Unity stamps is on it's way to me as I write. In the meantime I have had another play with my March Unity stamp kit. I love these stylised flowers. I coloured with Copics and the background has been cut using My Favourite Things Blueprints 27 dies.

And, as if I don't have enough hobbies, I have started Geocaching. I found my first cache this morning and can't wait to do more. It will get us out and about exploring different places with the pooch! Does anyone cache?

hello little birdies

Hello. The rain has not stopped here all day so I have made a bright summery card to cheer things up a bit! The stamps are 'Tweet on You' by My Favourite things and the die cut frame is by Mama Elephant. I coloured the stamp using Copic marker pens.

It seems my Snoopy card brought back a lot of memories. For me too - the family dog when I was little was called Snoopy!
