Well to be fair I was cruising  around the Mediterranean but my Daughter was under strict instructions to buy it immediately, bless her, thanks Elly x  It is titled 'Pea Pod Nap' and sold out quickly in many stores, it is soooo adorable, most favourite stamp ever!!!!

I have coloured with Promarkers, buttons, ribbon, gold mirri & hand stitched to finish.

The papers were of course from NITWIT COLLECTIONS from these two kits

I think these bunnies work really well & of course some chocolate eggs too!

I have used flowers, ribbon, doily, charm & rafia.

Coloured with Promarkers, hand stitched as always.

The acetate spiral & matting & layering were completed on my Silhouette.

The sentiment was stamped onto Safmat for the invisible look.

The gorgeous papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

I do hope you can come and play along with us for the chance to win some goodies?

I have used the gorgeous new kit from Nitwit Collections and this one is called 

'Daffodil Joy' and it is so pretty.

This may look like an ordinary card on the front but I have put an acetate spiral inside

for the bees to buzz from flower to hive, loving this technique, never tried it before.

I have also used Kraft, stamp, Promarkers, glossy accents for the honey, flowers, buttons & pearls.

Hand stitched and the sentiment is CG.  All shapes, matting & layering including the acetate spiral & bee 

were completed on my Silhouette.

Happy Christmas ...

Another Guest spot for Cute Card Thursday and this time I want to share this little cutie.

The challenge this week is Christmas so nice & easy.

I have used the gorgeous House Mouse Christmas project book & cd rom for this one.

The image, papers & sentiment are all included just added some red card for layering with some 

snowflakes too.  Completely hand stitched and another large card blank.

It doesn't show too well on the photographs but all the trees sparkle along with the falling snow.

A picture of the inside and another image from the cd rom.

Why not come and play along with us this week.

aren't those little rabbits the sweetest?

The bells for the sound of the ice cream van too!

Small amount of hand stitching and coloured with my lovely Pro/Flexmarkers.

The ice cream has a little bit of sparkle also.

Come Rain or Shine ...

Time for another challenge over on the Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog

titled 'Come Rain or Shine' so in a nut shell we are looking for weather

related cards.  Here in the UK we love to moan about the weather, too cold, too wet and

occasionally too hot (not often).

I have used stamp, papers, film, postcard & button from my stash.

The sentiment & wave were cut using my Silhouette

I have used the colour picking tool on the Silhouette software to 

match the sun with the papers.

Have I mentioned I love this machine :) x

The shells are from the shores of Tunisa and if you look very carefully

even some Tunisian sand too.  It was really hot in Tunisa, so hot in fact

you couldn't stand on the beach without flip flops and even then

it was for a limited time before your feet would burn!

Great holiday, highly recommended though, the memories.

Along way away from the rain, rain and more rain here in the

South of England at the moment.

Why not come and play along with us for a chance to win a

£15 Joanna Sheen gift voucher for one lucky winner.

Maybe you could one of our daily talent features too!

Take care, love x

Cheers ...

Today is the start of a fresh new challenge over on the award winning 

Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog

and the title is 'Layer It Up'

so as the title suggests we want plenty of layers whether it is

decoupage or just loads of matting and layering, it is up to you.

I have used the gorgeous House Mouse Project Book Volume One

for this card and as I am only a drinker of tea or coffee this image

was just perfect for me.  I have decoupaged the main image

and there are three layers of card/papers on each page minimum.

I have also used my new super Silhouette Portrait to cut the teapot and the 

sentiment.  I just love this machine!  A couple of doilies, tea bag, ribbon & gems

and of course all hand stitched to finish.

Why not play along with us HERE  for the chance to win

the £ 15 Joanna Sheen gift voucher or you could be one of our daily talents too!

Bye for now, love x

With love at Christmas ...

Well today is a month long challenge over on the 

Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog

titled 'With Love at Christmas'

and I could not resist the new House Mouse Christmas Project Book!

This is my first 8x8 card, perfect for these pesky little mice.

The inside to match.

Finally a close up of the decoupage.

I printed my decoupage onto Elegance Satin cardstock because I wanted to

make my little cuties pop by colouring them with my Promarkers.

I have used the main image, inside image and papers from three different

projects in the book so you can see they really mix and match well.

I have also used ribbon, charms, snow, mirri, star, sentiment and red cardstock.

Card blank and plenty of hand stitching!

As the challenge will last for a month the winner will receive

a £ 30 Joanna Sheen gift voucher.

I hope you can come and play along with us?

Thanks for popping by, love x

Congratulations ...

Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog

In the Garden ...

I have used this gorgeous stamp from House Mouse

which is called 'From the Gang'.  Isn't it the most adorable image?

I have decoupaged it for extra pop.  I have used

Kraft card, Co-ordinations, embossing folder, string, brads and

feathers.  The sentiment is CG and a play on words.
