Busy Busy!

Hi! It's been a busy time over the last week but I'm pleased to say the ratio of craft time to work time has been in favour of craftiness!!  Had the most amazing girly road trip down to Cheshire to spend Friday to Sunday in the company of the very lovely and brilliantly talented Rosemary Merry!  What a treat of a weekend! Pampered in a hotel for two nights with every spare minute (and I mean EVERY!) spent crafting on a variety of different projects including mini albums and home décor.

So all in all, a fabby way to spend time with crafty friends and be inspired by one of the best crafters in the business!

Now back that I'm back home I'm having to resist shopping for new crafty products that we used over the weekend and try to focus on what I've got.  I had a distant memory of a Christmas stamp that is probably one of my all time favs.  Yes, it's Snowy from Penny Black.  This is a Margaret Sherry image from 2002 but I think it's probably one of the best (and certainly very easy to colour!)
I've used my new Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens on this one.  The greeting is a Lil'inker Designs die.  Snowy is given a bit of sparkle using Stickles "Icicle".

Hi! This was my design team card for Saturday 14th June at Make the Day Special!

It's my day!

Hi! It was my day over at Make the Day Special yesterday.  I've been playing with my new Lil Inkers stamps and dies. I love them!

Don & Daisy

Hi!  Still on the colouring theme! New stamps from Marianne Design - Don & Daisy - they don't have cute names though - this one is DDS3329! 

She's so cute though - lots of lovely detail to colour. She looks like she's not got a care in the world! 

The flowers and leaves are Lil'inker dies. Love them!  The flowers are cut from Stampin' Up! cardstock. 

It's my day!

Hello!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend! 1st of June already - where does the time go!  It does mean the countdown to the holidays is well and truly on!
It's been a busy weekend here with our local highland games also hosting the British Pipeband Championships. Tartan as far as the eye can see!

It was my day over at Make the Day Special yesterday and I made a new home card for family friends who have just moved house.  If you've not checked out MTDS before you really need to - Tara has the most amazing selection of stamps and dies from across the pond!  You have to be quick though as they are so in demand they do tend to fly out the door as quickly as they arrive!

Here's my card;
