piccie to show you.

We have had three baby squirrels

playing in the garden lately

Aah they are so cute 

i managed to get a good shot at

one who was climbing up the garage wall.

 It was crawling along the wall, it looked a bit like

Spiderman.

They are so good at holding on.

I walked into the conservatory and there it was

good job i actually had my camera in my

hand, because as soon as it noticed me it was off.

Lets Get Cute

 Hi all it's Papertake time again

and this weeks challenge is

Getting Cute

as you might have guessed 

we want to see all those cute cards

which will be easy, as there are so many cute images 

out there.

We are sponsored this week by 

Digital Delights.

I have dug out my Sarah Kay images 

that i had actually coloured a long time ago with

Copics and have been sat in a box waiting to be used.

As the theme is cute i had to go

with my favourite colour Pink.

Papers are from Raspberry Road.

My Doohickey flower dies arrived a few days ago 

at last, i ordered them online from Crafts U Love

then i got an email saying they had run out of stock and i had to wait for the next delivery.

Anyway nearly a month later i've got them,

so i had to play.

Flourishes and sentiment tag

are from Marianne Creatables dies.

I have added gems to the flourishes.

Thanks for stopping by today 

and hope you join in and have a play.

Ha ha i'm a poet and i didn't know it.

Gosh that takes me back,

we used to say that when we were

kids.

edged it with Vintage photo distress ink.

Here comes the summer

Hi there today's card is for the lili of the valley challenge with the theme
Here comes summer, although if you look out of the window
here this morning it looks far from summer cloudy and drizzly.

I enjoyed making this card, i had to do a bit of masking and lots of
colouring. I have quite a few Sarah Kay stamps which i have neglected
since Christmas (Shame on me). So when i saw the summer theme i remembered
this little girl with her picnic basket what can be more summer.



I have used a Sarah Kay stamp called 'Picnics of Daisies' and a wood mounted
stamp 'won't you come into my garden' by inkadinkado.
I have used my copic ciao marker pens to colour the image,
the DP is Papermania Regency paper pad.
The paper flower was made using Blossom nesti dies and an old book page.
i have edged the image, flower and sentiment with
vintage photo distress ink,
and used my Martha Stewart daisy fan punch.
