Unfortunately my printer has been poorly for the 4 weeksish so i didnt get to play with one of thier digital images so ive used a dcwv matt stack rub on and distressed all the papers and card stock.

Isnt that a fab sentiment i just had to use it, Now you will see if stuck to the sketch quite rigidly but you can rotate or flip as long as we can still see the sketch.

 I do hope you like what i have made, its quite clean and simple but think for the style its rather appropriate,

Dont be Square

Cor blimey im late again!!!!!! bloomin rubbish i am lol,

Ive been to visit my MIL for lunch an its ages away so just clean forgot, ive only just got home with my boys and this is the first (actually second after making myself a cuppa) thing ive done lol

-

Anyway its time to announce the new challenge at Cardmadfairy's digi days and its a toughie, well maybe not lol

We are going for....Dont be square, so no creations that are square !!!!

i made a simple stepper, and used pampered pets papers, and of course one of jennis amazing digital images they are only 99p each and sooo versatile.

 That sentiment is a rubber stamp from papermakeup stamps who are selling off lots of stamps to go all digi, its amazing, if you cant actually read it too well it says

" Sometimes on the way to your dream,you get lost and find better ones"

isnt that beautiful and so true i think.

Good morning folks, its been a couple of days since i last posted as its been my birthday so havent had time to craft or share any craft with you im afraid, i got tons of cards from my fab trimmie friends,

-

Any way here is a card i have been working on for a commision...The lady who ordered it wanted unisex as the parents didnt know the sex of thier babies yet,

So here it is using a brand new lily of the valley stamp, i bought it as it was divine and soooo cute, but got home to think when shall i get to use it lol, so as soon as i knew i had a 'twins' card to make i was delighted lol,

 I kept the colours to pale yellows and greens with gold finishings as that seemed to work together,with ivory lace and ribbon, the papers are from the pampered pets range, i dont often do pets themed stuff but those papers were scrummy,

 A piccie of my finished card

What do you think? i think the names are too big but she wanted them on and my lappy not printing very well so had to use peel offs instead and that was the smallest i could make them,
