Granmargarets cards-n-stuff

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Moondrea Designs

Every month Andreia gives a free Moondrea Designs digi stamp to join the monthly challenge. If you make a card with the digi and join the challenge you receive the new digi the next month.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1590013484906317

I love the Moondrea digi stamps but I haven't been able to join in the challenge as I can't see to colour.

Andreia Silva coloured two of her stamps digitally and she very kindly gave me copies that I can use to make cards.

I made the following card today with coloured digital stamp Summer. It took me ages.

I used WondersArtist papers from Wonderful Pink and Wonderful Pastel Blue paper sets
Doily and ribbon from Digital Scrapbooking Studio
We are 3 sentiment
You can buy the black and white Summer digi here
