Spring has Sprung!

Ahhhhh Spring! Sorry I have not posted a card in a while...I have been painting ceilings - a LOT of ceilings!!!

I thought I should post a few photos of the project I am talking about,

The first photo was just a few weeks ago and the bottom photo was taken this weekend, so as you can see we have been BUSY!!! I still have LOT of painting to do! We ordered carpet which arrives on the 29th and we decided to go ahead and re carpet the whole house too as my carpets are very worn, we were told that all we had to do was remove knick knicks...no problem I thought until I looked around my house and realized just how many knick knacks I have!!! This will take FOREVER! Yet something else added to my looooooooong to do list

It will all be worth it.

Here's what I used for the card:

The stamps are Unity Little Buggers, Spellbinders pinking circles, ribbon by Creative Impressions.

Don't forget I still have Lizzie Anne stamps & Marvy punches on sale and all of my Spellbinders are FREE SHIPPING within the USA.

Happy Springy Monday everyone :D

Willing Spring to come!

Okay so I live near Seattle and yet again last night they were speculating on the news that there was more snow to come!!!! NO!! I am fighting this by making a Springy card...I have put a little green on there to acknowledge St Patrick's Day :D

My daughter is much better now, thank you for all your kind comments and wishes.

Here's what I used:
Lizzie Anne Designs Dreaming of Dots & Say it in Script
Marvy Extra Giga rectangle and scalloped rectangle punches
Shimmerz Angel Wings (center of flowers)
Ribbon is by Alexx Kesh
Rhinestones are Me and My Big Ideas Clear
Cardstock is Bazzil Bling Crystal Blue

I managed to make a card without using my Spellbinders!! I'm in shock! Hahaha!
HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!

Aloha Shimmerz!

I am in LURVE with these Shimmerz! I have used Pixie Dust on my little Hula Girl today and it just WOW's it! You can kind of see it in this photo.
I am trying to get through all my cardstock scraps...trying to be 'green' and not wasteful. It is quite inspiring actually. I highly recommend it ;)
Here's what I used:
Pixie Dust Shimmerz
Lizzie Anne Garden Isle Set
Prima Flowers (coming VERY soon to my store!)
Giga Scallop Oval punch
Cardstock is Stampin Up and the patterned cardstock is DCWV pockets full of posies matstack (I think!) again it was one of my scraps :D
This is going to be a GREAT week I can feel it! I hope you all have a FANTASTIC week too!

It's Tea Time!

YAY! I finally got around to making a Tea Time card...these images have been coloured in for a while just waiting to me made into a beautiful card! Tricia inspired me to get it done by her lovely words on her blog.
Being British EVERYTHING revolves around Tea...Tricia mentioned that I even take my tea on mini Vacations...well...when I went to China for 3 months I took enough of my favourite tea to last our entire visit hahaha...that's a LOT of tea when I drink between 3 and 4 cups a day!
I actually like it now that Tricia has moved further away (bare with me!) as when we see each other now it's not such a mad dash. When she drives to my house it takes her around 45 minutes so naturally she is not going to drive straight back home...so she stays for a cuppa, my card is dedicated to Tricia 'Fancy a cuppa darling?'
In England it's a daily occurrence, friends are always popping around for a cuppa and a chat...we need to do more of that here is America, people are just too busy, we need to make time to smell the roses and enjoy tea with friends :)

Here's what I used to make this card (most of which is in my store):
Lizzie Anne Designs Tea Time stamp set
Stickles Diamond
Marvy Mega scallop oval punch
Spellbinders Ribbon Tags trio (can you tell I like these??)
Ribbon is from Making memories
The stripy cardstock is by Lizzie Anne Designs - it's FAB!

I have FREE SHIPPING within USA on all my Spellinders now :)

Ballerina

I am SO happy with this card! I needed a beautiful card for my beautiful Niece and as her favourite colour is purple I think she will like this card!

I absolutely adore this polkadot ribbon! YUMMY! The Ballerina is of course Lizzie Anne's along with the sentiment which was taken from their Sketched Sentiments set.

I used Spellbinders Ribbon Tags trio and also the cuttle bug dots. I also used my marvy giga and extra giga scalloped rectangle punches...I can't seem to do a project without using a punch!

I coloured the ballerina in with my Copic Spica's and C-1 and E00 Ciao's.

As I am writing this I have 3 guys digging up my garden ready to lay paving for my patio!! I am SO excited! I will post before and after photos when they have finished :)

I am now off to read the end of my book...Deception Point by Dan Brown...oooh it's gripping!
