Pure Innocence

That is the stamp, not me!  

I really enjoy the MFT Colour Color Challenges because they put together colours that I wouldn't normally combine, and it is good to stretch yourself now and again......

Image stamp: MFT Pure Innocence - Happy Birthday To You

Sentiment: MFT Gifting Fun

Papers: MFT 6x6 Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Pastels

Morning all - three day weekend, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It's my day for the DIES TO DIE FOR inspiration blog and I have some

Squidgy cuteness for you

I just love receiving letters by post (not those sneaky former-brown-envelopes-now

disguised-as-white-ones) but I cannot remember the last time I actually sat

down and wrote anything other than a card - maybe we should try and

bring back the tradition of proper letter writing, in pen!

Tracy says

HOLIDAY CLOSURE

Please be aware that I will be taking my annual holiday from  Friday 18th August until Monday 4th September.  Orders received after 3pm Thursday 17th August will not start shipping until Tuesday 5th September.  Whilst I am away the website will be updated with any new stock and restocks and you will still be able to place orders online.

AYLI (DT) Fur or Feathers?

Morning all, hope things are going well for you on the run in to the Bank Holiday weekend!  Oh three glorious days in a row, bliss.

Ok then, it's a new challenge over at AS YOU LIKE IT and the theme for the next two weeks is FUR OR FEATHERS - your favourite, and tell us why.

For me, there is no contest, it is fur all the way, soft, strokeable, sniffable, snugglable, warm and cuddly fur, preferably when it is wrapped around an amenable animal!  Rosie simply does not accept my overtures for letting me dump her onto my lap for a cuddle session - how I envy those owned by lapcats.

Happy Saturday to you all from me - do you have anything exciting planned?

We're waiting for our builder to pop round to have a look at a rather suspicious damp

patch that has appeared, and then, if he isn't too late, we're over to the Oldies for a cuppa

and a sneaky assessment of garden vegetables!

For my DTDF make today I have a cheeky little fella to share with you

Look at that smile!

AYLI (DT) Embellishments

Yoo-hoo folks, happy Thursday to you!  Alternate Thursdays mean a new challenge from AS YOU LIKE IT and this time around we would like you to share with us your Favourite Embellishment(s) and tell us why they are your favourites.

You may have guessed that I didn't choose the theme!  Embellishments, phooey!  I'm a clean and simple kinda girl, some days more simple than others (ha), so I tend to restrict embellishments, a lot.  Rather than being able to add lots of stuff skillfully, my makes tend to look a little, shall we say, rugged.  So I keep it simple.  I love die-cut embellishments but try to use them to echo the theme, like this one with the stars

So, for my simple card I have used:

CC Designs - Dancing

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers) and Polychromos Pencils

Joanna Sheen Starry Night Border Die

Sentiment from who-knows-where but it was one of those "that'll be useful" purchases years ago

MFT 6x6 Tribal Prints

DoCrafts wood pattern paper

Our sponsor for this challenge is CRAFTS U LOVE

Looking forward to seeing how much you can attach to a card all your beautiful and creative uses of embellishments!

Love and hugs

Sweet Stamping Challenge - Summer Fun

SNSRC #6 - Holiday Fun

Hello everyone - today sees the start of a new Squirrel's Not So Random Challenge

and this time the theme is Holiday Fun

This is the time of year when just about everyone has had, is having, or about to have, a holiday, even if it is only a few days at home with a paddling pool in the back garden - so we would like you to share your idea of holiday fun with us.

We are a little low on DT inspiration for you today, but don't worry, we will inundate you with
suitable reminders as the weeks tick by!

Annette
Who doesn't love an ice-cream, especially a chocolate one

Squirrel
Surely no holiday is complete without a sandcastle which gets washed away at high tide

and our winner from the last challenge is Julye B with her adorable teddy-bumps card

Please contact me Julye to claim your prize - email to Squirrel

This challenge will run until 29 October at 6.00pm
