2013_03_17_kks_isadora




I’m happy to be joining in with the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps blog hop this month as a guest.  Told you I wouldn’t be abandoning KKS completely. When I saw the stamps being released this time, I fell in love, hard!  I have a thing for more traditional fairy/sprite images, and the Annie Rodrigue stamps being [...]

2013_03_15_scacd_hearttag




Well, another week has whizzed on by.  As usual I’m in a complete daze, wondering where the time went and why I haven’t quite achieved everything I intended.  C’est la vie! Today I am thrilled to be helping showcase the latest release from SCACD’s Susana Loves Stamps range.  This month Susana has a brilliant new [...]

Bellariffic Friday – It’s a Wonderful Life!

2013_02_22_sb_uptownfelicityandblair




It’s Bellariffic Friday!  And once again, I find myself breathing a sigh of relief as the weekend arrives.  Another stressful week here, so consider this card a bit of “wishful thinking”. Oh to be an Uptownie! We had a sketch to follow this week, which I have been a bit er…carefree…with.  The elements are there, [...]

An Uptown Teaser!

WP_20130130_022




Alas, I don’t have a finished card or project to share today.  It has simply been one of those weeks, or more accurately, one of those months!  I would however like to show you something I’m working on.  A little teaser, if you will. I think many of you are now familiar with my obsession [...]

Tilda with Big Tulips & A Giveaway!

2013_01_26_magnolia_tildawithbigtulips




I’m definitely pleased with today’s card.  I’m quite taken with Tilda’s hair in this image, and it turned out beautifully when coloured using the “No Lines” colouring technique.  I love the clean lines in the image, and how striking it looks against the background. Plus, Tilda is really just looking pretty adorable. GIVEAWAY: I have an extra, brand [...]

Hey Tiger!

2013_01_23_magnolia_wildtilda




One of my goals this year is to use more of my stamp collection.  I am guilty of having a huge stash of stamps which either haven’t seen ink or have hardly seen ink (and I know I’m not alone in this).  I started stamping and cardmaking because I enjoyed it, something that has been [...]

Saturated Canary Cerridwen

2013_01_22_sc_cerridwen




One of my favourite things to do is colour hair.  This is why I love the Saturated Canary images, so many of them have gorgeous flowing hair that is extremely therapeutic to get lost in colouring (with the digis I like to print them fairly large so I can do just that). I actually coloured [...]

A New Love: Lollyrot

2013_01_21_lollyrot




Before Christmas I found myself hopping around various blogs.  I am a closet Stampotique fan so I was looking at their blog and the work of their designers.  One in particular caught my eye – the lovely and extremely talented Maria aka Lollyrot.  Not only does she create fantastic cards and other crafty projects, but [...]

Today brings a new Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Challenge.  This week our hostess is the lovely Jessie and she has asked us to EMBELLISH IT!  She wants to see THREE embellishments on everyone’s cards/projects this week.

Bellariffic Friday – Come Fly Away With Me…

2013_01_18_sb_ramonateddyballoon




We woke up this morning to a blanket of snow.  It has been snowing all day, and people have been out making snowmen and having fun.  In this house we’re all tucked up inside toasty and warm (after a couple of little essential trips).  There has been some work, and a little play.  The rest [...]

Angie actually framed them to hang in the Little Darlings [...]
