Sunshine

Well the sun has decided to appear at last, and lets hope it stays for a while.  I don't know about you, but when the weather is nice, it just makes you feel happier.  For my second post I thought I had better put a card on for you to see.  You will soon see that I am a stamper.  It is  very unusual for me to make a card that does not include a stamp.  I just love the fact that you can do so much with them, and also they are such good value for money in the long term.

This card is made using a LOTV stamp called "Me and My Pony".  I love these stamps, they stamp beautifully and such a joy to colour in. The base is 8" x 8" cardstock which is the size I seem to be using at the moment.  I used Promarkers to colour the image, and distressed the edge with walnut stain.  The papers are G.C.D - Ella Blue which are one of my favourites at the moment, and again the edges were distressed in walnut stain, and then mat and layered. The sentiment is also LOTV, and the flowers are some from my stash.  I hope you like it.
Bye for now xxxxx

My first ever blog.

Hello and welcome to my first ever blog !!!!!.  I have been thinking of putting a blog together for a few months, but have never plucked up the courage, but today I took the bull by the horns and here I am.  I hope you will like some of my cards, and keep coming by to say hello and hopefully, through my blog I can meet some new crafty friends.
I thought I would put a few pictures on today of my craft room, which John has created for me.




Thank you for stopping by.  xxxx
