New die range at Craft Stash....

Hello. I'm just popping on to share some exciting news! Craft Stash have just launched their first collection of premium own-brand dies. Called Apple Blossom Craft Collection, the first three luxury craft dies are available on the website now right here.

There's three beautiful designs; a floral border, a lacy frame and flower set and a big and beautiful circular bird die. And all at a great price.

 

Righty ho, be back later with my DigiStamp Boutique card.

 

Happy Birthday

Hello. One of my favourite online crafty shops is Make The Day Special and hardly a month goes past without a little order being placed. Last month I treated myself to the 'Woodland Gifts' stamp set by Mama Elephant. And here is my first card using the stamps - so cute! I coloured using my Gansai Tambi watercolours. The paper is 'home sweet home' by Craft Assylum.

I am entering the Make The Day Special colour challenge 

(I have used three colours from option 3).

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.

Hello. I love this chicken image from the cluck cluck set  over at the DigiStamp Boutique. It makes me smile. And a great sentiment to go with it too. A quick touch of colouring, some co-ordinating papers and job done!
