I have had a little play with the MFT Falling from the Clouds die & the Stacey Yacula Piggy Pebbles stamps.  Absolutley loved colouring this little fellow.  Not bad for a first attempt, next time not so many seed beads though!

Happy crafting 

Happy Fathers Day ...

A must have stamp the 'Wild Roar' from Mama Elephant, I simply could not resist.  A long colouring session I admit but so much fun.  TH distress oxide background and I have created a scene and used some acetate to create the front of the card too.  The little panda was holding a heart so I thought I would make a mini shaker.  Hand stitched as always, thank you for popping by to my blog.

Time for another Guest spot over on the challenge, as always it is 'Anything Goes' and this weeks sponsor is the fabulous 

and I have had the pleasure of colouring the wonderful 'Morag the Moo' just adorable.

Pop on over to see digi stamps for all loved ones in your life and some great sentiments too.

So I have printed the lovely Morag onto Neenah Desert Storm card and coloured with Promarkers and Nuitop pencils.  Papers are from Nitwit Collections, rosette, hand stitched and a few pearls to finish.  CAS but I just love Morag so didn't feel it needed anything else.

Happy Easter ...

After my Mama Elephant Snowman Agenda creation HERE  I couldn't wait to make a Little Chickie Agenda card with the same concept. So I have made a few of these, blue & pink for family & friends.  Just spin where the little arrow is shown and those adorable yellow chickies go round, endless fun for me and I hope the recipients.

I have used papers from Nitwit Collections, cut on my Silhouette, coloured with Promarkers, little arrow stamp, some pearls and Floral Frenzy 6x6 Embossing Folder from Die Sire for the white vellum and of course hand stitched to finish.
