Good Morning my lovely blogging friends and a really warm welcome to all of my new followers, thank you for being there

As you may have already seen on the Joanna Sheen blog today, I have some very exciting news to tell you. Paula has asked me join the fabulous Joanna Sheen Challenge design team!! I could hardly believe it when she asked me,  it really was a shock. I feel truly honoured to be part of such a wonderful and talented team. I have been so lucky lately.

So, onto today's card. I had intended to make another Christmas card yesterday but as you can see I had a change of plan. There are so many birthdays coming up next month so I decided I'd better get one of them made instead.

I noticed a fab sketch on Shelly's Images Blog so I used that for my inspiration. Of course I had to use another of my favourite Lili of the Valley images, you know how much I love them by now, and luckily lots of my friends do too!! So, it developed into a very pink and girly card.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Lilis Little Fairies - Monochrome
Shelly's Terrifically Thrilling Thursday Challenge - sketch
Incy Wincy Designs - make a girly creation
Allsorts - Going around in circles
In the Pink - 50 shades of....pink!
Ribbon Girl - Bingo ( ribbon/pearls/image)
Addicted to Stamps - Pearls and lace

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday
Bye for now
Hugs

Good morning my lovely blogging buddies

I hope you are all well and hopefully enjoying some good weather

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments about my peach roses on my last card. Some of you asked how they were made, well . if you look on Craftyloops blog here you will see a fabulous tutorial. Lee really is the Queen of making flowers and she explains how they were made so clearly.

I have some more good news to share today. I have been such a lucky girl lately. I have been selected to join the Stampin' for the Weekend Design Team. I feel thrilled to be part of such a great team and a fabulous challenge.

So onto my DT card. The theme for this fortnight is one of my favourites:

Good Morning my lovely blogging buddies and a big warm welcome to all my new followers.

Frist I'd like to say a massive thank you for all of your kind comments on my last card, it really does mean a lot to me.

Well, it Wednesday so that means the start of another Fab n Funky Challenge and this week our host is the lovely Jackie and she has chosen the brilliant theme of

So, for my card I decided to have another go at making my own roses using my wonderful Spellbinders Rose Creations die. I used distress inks to colour the petals and the same ink to colour the circle before stamping on the sentiment

Good Morning my lovely blogging friends

I hope you are all well.  Like many of you, I have really enjoyed watching the Olympics this weekend. The GB team have done us proud.

Yesterday I made my first Christmas card of this year - at last! I had all good intentions to start much earlier in the year but just didn't get round to it. I have to admit that I do love making Christmas cards though, I love the colours and the sparkle.

So to start me off I choose one of my favourite Christmas stamps and you may have guessed .. it's by Lili of the Valley. No surprise I'm sure as you know I love all of their images. Also, I couldn't wait to use my new Memory Box die too!
I added loads of glamour dust to the snowflakes, it's a shame you can't see how sparkly it looks on the photo.

Good Morning all my blogging buddies.

I do hope you are all well, are your enjoying the Olympics? Wasn't it fabulous to see team GB do so well yesterday.

Today, sadly, is my last card as guest designer for Beccy's Place. I have really enjoyed making cards with her gorgeous images.
This last one is called Raspberry House and I'd say it is probably my favourite.

Good Morning my blogging buddies and a big hello and thank you to all my new followers.

Today is the start of a new Fab 'n' Funky Challenge and this time our host it the lovely Rachel who has chosen the great theme of

We have a fabulous new sponsor  Flonzcraft who are stamp manufacturers based in New Zealand.

The design team were lucky enough to have some of their stamps to use for the challenge and let me tell you they have some gorgeous images to choose from.

I picked a beautiful stamp called Drop Tree and I decided to make an easel calendar, I don't think I've ever made one so far in advance before.
