bonjour beautiful


So a couple of weeks ago I got some second hand goodies from Michelle of The Craft Grotto, I bought this clearly besotted stamps and die set solely for making this... there is also a card, which I shall share in a few days but the card was only made to test how the sequins were going to look.


This fits the 'Anything Goes' at Simon Says Stamp!

once upon a time, a very long time ago...


A bit of sewing with the very first dies I ever bought - one of these was the die included with my Sizzix sidekick, the other from a set of 'Doodlebug' sizzix dies I bought with my sidekick!


A bit of felt today and another lavender bag.This fits the 'Anything Goes' at Simon Says Stamp!

simon says flowers


The Simon Says Stamp work it wednesday challenge for April is 'flowers', now flowers isn't something I normally do, and I certainly find them hard to colour...  but I gave it a go and find the results not too bad

I thought I'd try a new colour way for me and went all gold to match this cute fox.

can we go loop the loop


When something ends up on my desk I usually make more than one card with the same stamp set, this time trying for a different look with some patterned paper.

new home, old toy


I've had my silhouette for years, but for the last couple it has been mostly unused, but with a new home card required, and my stamps failing me, I thought I'd drag it out.

hang in there


I completely fell for the cuties in the Mama Elephant Up & Away stamp set, and have had the set for over a year and really haven't used it as much as I should. However, part of Sandy Allnock's 'Copic Jump Start' class is to colour sphere's so I dug out this set with the intention of using and thought I'd go for a 'before'.

I've signed up for Sandy Allnock's Copic Jump Start class, which has been slightly delayed, but this is allowing me some time to document my copic skills before...

This cutie is from useless trinkets is showing my fur skills (as they stand) as well as some shading...
