Hedgehogs Bluebell Fun

Good Morning everyone, 
It's the school holidays ...yay! It's fantastic to see all the kids back in school but I'm really looking forward to being able to spend some time with my two! I got up a little bit earlier yesterday to have a play in my craft room.
This is an adorable digi stamp from Di's Digi Designs called 'Hedgehogs Bluebell Fun'.

I've coloured them with promarkers and copics. I can't remember who the background papers are by as I've lost the top cover of the pad, but I bought them from QVC many years ago - they could be K and Company. I've used my favourite flower dies - Hunkydory moonstone fabulous flowers, and a die namics picket fence die. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

James with Heart Bouquet - Lili of the Valley DT

Good evening everyone, 
This is the card that I made for my Mum for Mother's Day.  I've used the adorable James with Heart Bouquet.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics and added a few liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers. The sentiment is computer generated, which I cut into a little tag shape and attached with a foam pad. I used a Hunkydory moonstone die for the frame.

Sled Ride at As You Like It

Good morning everyone, 
It's time for another challenge at As You Like It - I can't believe how quickly these challenges come around. Our theme this fortnight is ...

Fussy cut, die cut or electronically cut your image?

(How do you like to cut out your image and don't forget to tell us why!)

I've used a very cute stamp from Penny Black. This is 'Sled Ride'. I don't own any stamps with matching dies or an electronic cutting machine so if I want to cut out an image, I have to reach for the scissors!

I've coloured him with promarkers and fussy cut the image.  I've used a Dees Distinctively stacker tree die which I layered up with foam pads. The background paper is from Craft Creations and the sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

Hello everyone, 

Well, it was back to school for Tom and Emma today. I think they enjoyed it, although Tom should be doing his GCSE's so he's a little bit stressed out! It was nice for me to go to school without having to leave my two at home on their laptops!
Anyway, I have a little card to share tonight, using one of the new images from Lili of the Valley. This is James Flower Basket.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics. The background papers are from Make & Create - Sweet Rose Garden. I've used a Die namics picket fence die and a Hunkydory Moonstone die -Fabulous Flowers. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley - Simply sophisticated.
