Elisabeth Bell - Daisy Stamp

Hello friends

I hope every one had a good weekend, I spent yesterday crafting and binge watching TV! It was lovely and relaxing. I'm very lucky that my desk is in front of the window and I have a great view of the estuary or affectionately known as the river Thames, why the Victorians decided to call it Southend-on-Sea! 

Anyway, I'm sharing a white on white card with you today, there's not much to it, but this is one of my favourite stamps by Elisabeth Bell and I thought I would dig it out and give it a colour. So here is Daisy...


She is such a cutie and I used a 6x6 card base, the stamp was just stamped onto smooth card, nothing special, I wanted to keep the whites all the same. I used Promarker's to colour her. The sentiment is from an old Kaisercraft set.

Enjoy your week everyone and I'll see you all soon.

Sugar Nellie Stamp - Raven

 Hello friends and visitors.

I would like to say a big thank you to Meg for commenting on Jaxon's card, he was over the moon with it!

So it's still lovely here in 'sunny Southend,' fingers crossed it stays this way at least until the end of week. So while it's sunny I'm sharing a card using Autumn/Fall colours. I've used a stamp that I've not inked up, but had for at least 10 years... (Note to self  must use my unused stamps!) Anyway, I have coloured the stamp using colours fit for an Autumn day and here it is...

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base
Sugar Nellie - Raven stamp, sadly Sugar Nellie are no longer trading!
coloured with Promarker's onto Windsor and Newton Promarker paper
Papers are from First Edition - Perfect Allusion
Everything else from stash.

That's it from me today, see you all soon and have a great weekend.

Guest Designer Today - Jaxon

Hello friends

Today my blog is being taking over by my friends son. Meet Jaxon who is 6 years old and loves to craft! I must say I am biased and he is very good at crafting! Over the school holidays I gave him some crafty bits to keep him a bit busy and he has made a beautiful card for his cousin, who he will be seeing over the coming weekend - it's party time at Primrose's! So meet Jaxon...


He has made a card using an image from a Lili of the Valley Art Pad which he placed onto Polka dot paper, red star embellishment's, a wooden tag which he has coloured and written his cousins name and an A6 Kraft card base. He had to get his mum to tie the ribbon for him, but he did say 'it wasn't as good as his Nana's'  lol. So the boy has talent and it's great to see the youngsters crafting and not spending time watching TV and playing computer games. I think I have some serious competition!


It would be lovely for Jaxon to see some lovely comments from my blog friends - so if you can please leave a comment. Thank you!
