First Gorjuss Girl Card

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell - I have been playing with my new Gorjuss stamps today. I picked this image out of the four I bought the other day when they were released as single stamps. I have only JUST been able to have a play...

Soooo here she is!

Stamp bought from FunkyKits

Coloured using Copics

Papers are from my stash - I think I bought them in a craft shop. Very glitzy. The black glitzy paper behind the stamp is fabric glitz from my stash.

Flowers from my punch
Pearl halves from my stash

Poppy Swing

Well - I have just got back from the Grandparents house after having a lovely roast dinner and chat. Poppy loves it round there, her Grandparents (my in-laws) are bonkers!

Anyways - when we arrived at half six this evening, grandma (Ama) wanted to know if Poppy would like to go in the garden and have a look at her new present. I thought it might have been a paddling pool or something for when the weather picks up, but no.. Hanging from the aged Apple tree was a lush bright pink bucket swing.

Poppy LOVED it... smiling, laughing, squealing with delight.

I only managed to get one picture, and it was taken on the phone, so sorry for the bad quality.

She is soooooooooo CUTE!!!

Anyways, enough of the baby chat - back to crafting... Now....................... Where'd I put my DST???

Trump making his first apperance...

I've been meaning to use my Lumas Thorn elf set since they arrived on my doorstep over a week ago! So here is the first card (of many) using these cheeky chappies..



Trump - Elf stamp available from Bearly Mine Designs - Pop on over, I'm sure Donna won't mind!


Stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink

Coloured using Copic Ciao Pens
Papers from Bearly Mine Designs - freebie with purchase of Elf stamps



I had fun colouring him in, the options are endless! I went with green in the end, after tinkering around with the ideas of reds, purples and tawny colours hehe...

Whiff of Joy Challenge #23

There is a lovely sketch by Donalda over at WoJ Wednesday Challenge Blog, that I took a peek at last night. I decided to hedge my bets and enter my first blog challenge. So here she is, making her first of many appearances on my blog.
Melinda with Muffin Basket from the Guardian angel collection over at WoJ Stamps.

Melinda stamped with Momento Tsukineko Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured using my Copic Ciao pens.


Papers are from Making Memories Boho Chic collection.
The wee muffin in the corner was created using my Quickutz hand tool and muffin die.



Eyelets from my stash inserted using my ProvoCraft Silent Setter
I did not use a sentiment on this card as I thought it could be used for most occasions.


Thanks for taking a peek.
