For the Inspire Create Challenge, we have a sketch challenge this time! I've been itching to play with the Free As A Bird stamps and the gorgeous Bird Ballad Designer Series papers that go with them. I used a little artistic license and changed the layout from portrait to landscape but other than that kept to the sketch. This birthday card is going to a friend who shares the month of August as our birthday month. I hope she loves it, there's nothing quite like a hand made card in ... VIEW POST

Glad We’re Friends! – Inspire Create Challenge #49
How cute is this little fella?! It was International Friendship Day last week, did you know? nor me! I was very lucky to receive a beautiful hand made card from a friend who is also one of my team.

Everything’s Coming Up Daisies!
We have a new daisy punch that cuts out these lovely smaller daisies. It's called the Medium Daisy Punch and is the sidekick to the large Daisy punch, it has a great stamp set to go with it with a new large daisy stamp included in it. Brilliant as I can use it with both punches and both the Daisy Delight stamps and the new Daisy Lane stamps work together. The new medium Daisy was right near the top of my long must-have list! We have a circle sketch for the Inspire Create Challenge this ... VIEW POST

Over at the Inspire Create Challenge this time, we have a sketch and it's a pretty simple one too, leaving lots of room for creativity!

It's a whole collection of products that all match, in Rose Gold, Night Of Navy and Melon Mambo. I decided to stay with this colour theme too. I just needed the ... VIEW POST
Hello Beautiful Butterfly! Inspire Create Stamping Challenge #043
Do you like this colour palette? We have such a happy colour combination for this week's Inspire Create Challenge #043. I really love all three colours and an idea popped into mind as soon as I saw them. The ink splattering was the best part! I dipped my aqua painter into the ink, and splattered it randomly! I love it. such a pretty effect. How it's made I stamped one of the large butterfly's in the stamp set in clear Versamark onto watercolour paper and heat ... VIEW POST
Little Elephant – New baby Card
Little Elephant - New Baby Card Inspire Create Challenges #042 This week for the Inspire Create Challenges #042 we have a baby theme! I wanted to use the Little Elephant Punch for this card and the gorgeous Twinkle Twinkle papers too. I was hoping that they'd compliment each other and they do! You could easily make this a unisex New Baby card but I needed one for a new baby girl (perfect timing for this challenge!) so I went traditional and picked ... VIEW POST
Dandelion Wishes – A Note For You
Dandelion Wishes - A Note For You Inspire Create Challenge #040 This week for the Inspire Create Challenge we have a colour theme of Black and White. I wanted a clean and simple card and I thought the Dandelion Wishes stamp set would be perfect for it. I stamped it in Black to begin with but I felt there was something missing. I decided to stamp and emboss in Silver to compliment the monochrome without adding extra colour. I added the "a note ... VIEW POST
