Lovely Lavinia!

Hello!

Yesterday I told you that I am now a Design Team member for a NEW Lavinia Stamps challenge blog, and today I can give you the link to the challenge blog HERE!  Please note that the 'link' for you to post your entries won't be 'live' until Friday 1st March, so you've got a few days to start stamping... There's a fab prize up for grabs, so go for it!

Last night I made a tag using Lavinia's little Giselle in silhouette, and the leafy branch from Designs by Ryn.

The little 'believe' die is by Elizabeth Craft designs.

Happy crafting everyone! Thanks for visiting :) xxx

Proud Design Team Member!!!

Hello everyone!
Soooo exciting... I've been asked to be a Design Team member for the BRAND NEW Lavinia stamps challenge blog!!!!!   I've had to keep quiet about it whilst we've all been busy designing cards and the blog has been set up, so hard not to tell everyone!  Here's the fantastic badge that Tracey Dutton has designed for us:

The fab new challenge blog goes LIVE on Friday 1st March, so get your Lavinia stamps out and get crafting! :) xxx

Pink fairy

Hello Bloggers!
I've had a lovely few days with my parents visiting, we've been doing lots of craft and have been playing with all my wonderful Lavinia stamps!  (hence I haven't been posting on here as I've been too busy playing! :) )  Here's a card I made with Fall Fairy (large).

I also used the tree root, lavender, vine leaf and fern stamps. Oh, and some little stars too.  The inks I used are Adirondack Wild Plum and Purple Twilight.  I also edged the card with Adirondack Eggplant.
Can't believe the half-term holiday is nearly over... back to school tomorrow!
Thanks for visiting, xxxxxxxx

Oooo, love these birdies!

Good morning bloggers!
Look what arrived yesterday.... Dylusions 'Further around the edge' stamps and Elizabeth's craft designs 'bird' and 'hello' dies!!  I had to search high and low to find the dylusions stamp, everywhere seems to be out of stock, (I'm not surprised, that leaf stamp is just gorgeous...) apart from The artist trading post.  I ordered my dies from The Whitstable Stamp Craft shop by telephone and the lovely ladies got them in for me the next day!, or you can order them online from their partner shop Oyster stamps and their second class postage is freeeeee!
Anyway, enough of my rambling... I had a very quick play with them last night, those birds are so cute! xx

Tuesday 19th February

Yippeeeee!!  I've just seen that I've had over a thousand page views now!!   So thank you so much to everyone who has visited my blog, it's great fun for me and I hope you are enjoying it too. :)  Hugs, Wendy xxxxxxxxx

Sunrise

Hello!
I hope you are sharing in this gorgeous weather today... My brother-in-law, Dave, took a picture of the sunrise this morning and it was so lovely that I wanted to try and make a card with a similar sky.  Nothing so beautiful as mother nature obviously, but I enjoyed using my PanPastels and Lavinia stamps to create the scene.

I'm going out to walk my dogs in the sunshine now, top up my vitamin D intake! :)

Thanks for visiting, I'd love it if you would leave a comment so I know you have popped by! :) xxx

Celtic star

Hello bloggers!
What a beautiful day it's been today, naughty to spend time in the craft room really, but hey ho, the ink was calling!!!  This card was made using delicious dylusions ink spray, and Ryn's lovely Celtic star 2.  I got really engrossed in 'bleaching' out the ink with water on the stars, time flies when you're crafting doesn't it?!

Thanks for visiting! xxx

Friday 15th February

Hello everyone!
I'm trying something new today, I'm entering the Twinchies challenge!  Basically you enter a picture of a tiny 2 inch piece of art and there's a prize for the winner this month of a pretty Crafter's Companion stamp.
What do you think?

Well, it's half term now, yippee!!  So plenty of craft time.....
Thanks for visiting! xxxxx
