Hap-pea Fathers Day ...

Well I have been after this stamp for absolutely years & years, then I found out that tampendous were releasing it, in the new collection and wow, I was right there ready to place my order. 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

Special Day ...

Delighted to share this card with you today & as you can probably see my Husband & I have just celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary.  Very difficult to make male anniversary cards but I am really pleased with this one, phew!

It is an 8x8 matted & layered with white linen & silver mirri card.  Sentiment is computer generated in silver and the cutting file; Heart Inverted Rhinestones from the fabulous Samantha Walker from the Silhouette Design Store.

The rhinestones and as you can see there are many are from an Ebay Seller, 

I can recommend, good price, delivery & quality.  

Beautiful sparkle, stunning.

Wishing You ...

Another of my new Stamping Bella stamps and this one is titled 'I''ll always have your back' which is also the sentiment included but I have used a sentiment from another new stamp set from MFT called 'Adorable Elephants'.  Nice clean and simple layout for a change, really enjoyed colouring these 

little ones in!

Only one digital paper from of course NITWIT COLLECTIONS

matted and layered onto dark purple and some green & yellow strips.  

Hand stitched and some gems to finish.
