New Digi Stamps ...

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday I bought some new digital stamps from Mo's Digital Pencil  and this image is called Joanie.

Spectrum Noir Colors used ...
Skin             FS2 FS3 TN2
Hair             GB5 GB8 EB8
Dungarees   TB1 TB3 TB4
T Shirt          PP1 PP3

I shall have fun coloring up the rest of my purchases and adding them to Blog posts  as I make them into cards.

The card itself is created in the hinged card style   and I have used the 5x7 Matting basics sets A & B

The only decoration on the card is ribbon from Mei Flower  with a little dazzler in the centre from Wild Orchid Crafts  .... not a flower in sight.

The prize for the June "Give Away" has not been claimed yet so if you don't get a move on
Gill Mc  .....    it will be going to someone else 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

This card is created in cream and gold and  I have used the frame from Spellbinders and backed it with some acetate to make the church window.

White roses from Wild Orchid Crafts sit along the window ledge and the sparkler in the centre of the bow is also from WOC

The wide satin ribbon is soft and easy to tie and from Mei Flower 

The fine glitter to add that special touch to the flowers is from Glitter Magic

The beautiful pearl flourish is added as a finishing touch and it is from Want2Scrap

A pretty card that could be for any occasion.

Number thirteen ...

Hi Everybody,

Number thirteen may be a number that some people are superstitious about but it is a number that has never bothered me ... I  lived at a number thirteen and it was the prettiest bungalow we bought when we lived in Cornwall.

And so the winner of Card 013 is you .....

So add your name while you can.

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie Card 013

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is the 13th card I have offered as a freebie and it is Friday 13th too

But there is no need to be superstitious about winning this card as it is really a very pretty one to have.

It has all my favorite items added to it in the shape of flowers, ribbons and pearls ... and it's pink

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and I have used some punched leaves to frame them.

They are sparkled up with fine glitter from Glitter Magic

The verse is from Crafters Companion and is from their Sentimentals Range

The embossing is from the Tied Together folder and I have used tiny pearls on all the cross sections and they are from Want2Scrap.

So if you would like to win this card then all you have to do is leave me a comment.

At the end of the day my "Film Crew" will draw a name from the hat and the winner will be announced in the mornings Blog post

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Aren't they clever ??

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday was week 8 of the card class that I run in my home and this is what my two ladies have produced this week.

They are taken step by step  through each stage  but they decide ... with a little guidance ... where they want to place each piece

Along the way they can choose the color scheme for card, ribbons and flowers.

I provide the items that they need for each card and they are so pleased with what they are doing.  It is a lovely way to spend an afternoon

But not once have we finished on time ... we manage to over run each week as we all seem to get lost in the project ... and chatting too.

I think that these cards are beautiful and the ladies are fun to be with. They are enthusiastic and they seem to love the cards that they are making.  So there will be another class next week.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
