What Another Beautiful Day!

Hello Friends, I hope you're all having the same beautiful weather as it is here in sunny Southend? It's just glorious here! I've made another summery card, I'm getting some cards done before I have to pack my craft stuff away before moving. So here is another Sugar Nellie stamp that was donated by my lovely friend Lorraine. If you get a moment pop over to her blog and see her wonderful creations.  I'm loving these images they are so lovely to colour.

A Beautiful Summers Day!

Hello Friends, I hope you're all enjoying the beautiful weather, it's just gorgeous here in Southend. Also I'm in such a good mood, my housing problems seem to be over, yippeeeee.  I'm hoping to be moving around the 13th July. Southend Council finally saw some sense!
So to take my mind off a few things this morning while I was waiting to go and view the flat I made this card. It's another Sugar Nellie image kindly donated by my great friend Lorraine. This is another stamp on my wish list, and it's getting longer! So here she is.

Columbine Flower Card

Hello Friends, apologies for being a bad blogger this week, I've been a bit poorly. I'm catching up with all your blogs and hopefully should get round to leaving comments later today.

I've made a card using a digi image called Columbine from A Passion for Stamps. This is something different for me, no pink in sight. I wanted a card that was simple looking but elegant at the same time, I hope I've managed that.

Sugar Nellie Challenge

Hello Friends

Hope you're all having a great summery weekend. It's been beautiful here in Southend. Today I thought I would share with you a card I am entering in to the Sugar Bowl Challenge. It's the first time I've entered this challenge. This fortnight they have a sketch to follow and the option of using  colours pink, black and white. Also the rules state you have to use a Sugar Nellie image. So I'm using one of my new stamps I purchased recently she is called Coffee Time (manga) and you can buy her here. I'm loving these stamps!
