Summer time card - Lacie with Ice- cream

The summer time card is a little ironic as yesterday we had bright sunshine then rain and later we even had hail stones here in the UK.

Lacie with Ice-cream is a new digi image by Mo Manning and can be purchased from Digital Pencil Too, I used Stampin Up background papers, Nestabilities Ovals, a Prima Flower some dew drops ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

I added the Prima Flower then with a stickles glitter glue I just touched the edges of the flower to add a little sparkle.

As a few people asked me to do a tutorial on how to use the nestabilities with an overhang of the image I have done one, it is over on the tutorial page.

Nestabilities labels 10

The main feature on this card is the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10 and what a perfect way to accentuate them then having a stamp set purposely made to match them.

Claire Brennan at Waltzingmouse Stamps creates fantastic stamp designs so be sure to give her a visit and you won't be disappointed.

Melon coloured base card a cream Cuttlebug embossed background and a gold card underlay punched using the Martha Stewart border punch, a blossom and some pearls and a bit of love to bring it together.

My Friend

Isn't this just the sweetest? the little dog peeping from under the gate and the little girl tipped over to see him, the image is called My Friend and can be purchased from Mo's Digital Pencil Too.

I used Promarkers to colour the image, check out the pink cardigan on the little girl, I will do a tutorial soon on how to do the highlighted area.

Attention to detail...

I used a Martha Stewart border punch onto the pink card then slipped a piece of pretty background paper between the two edges then tied a thin ribbon around the centre.

Knotted Hanky Weather

My Dad was always one for a real cotton hankerchief not a disposable tissue and Mam found some new ones of his and sent them down for hubby (Chris).

Lauren popped down with Jack and left him with me while she went for a drive in the new car with her Dad and as Jack is into everything at the moment he soon had his hands on the hankies, I knotted one of them in all 4 corners and popped it on his head, Lauren said I was cruel but actually I reckon he likes it judging by this cheeky grin.

My new baby

Qashqai n-tec

Ok in my terms it is silver with shiney bits on but if you ask Chris he says things like Fancy Chrome bits, alloys, sat nav, reversing camera cooled glove box more miles per gallon full auto sunroof and the list goes on.

Vintage Shoe - Mother

Happy Saturday everyone,wowza it is hot, hot, hot here today, in a moment I'm going to be off to pick up my new car :) but I wanted to share this with you before I go.

Flowers and bead and lace oh my!

Lace edging around the heal and a tag with mother stamped onto it.

Now I'm not claiming the glory for this vintage beauty as it was created by a very clever lady click here to get the template and to watch the tutorial by her.

Project of the month Blog Hop - Flowers

Its that time again and this Month the theme Flowers for the Blog hop was chosen by Mina.

We will hold this every third Thursday of the month , we aim to give you a little inspiration and hopefully a few Oooo's and Awe's along the way.

The Dream Team is made up with some of the most talented ladies so be sure to give them all a visit.

They all fit nicely into this nugget tin I know the theme is flowers and mine is in the form of a wrap for the tin but believe me there is 3 other precious little flowers inside the tin ha ha.

I had so much fun with this Paper Dolls digi stamp set from Mo's Digital Pencil Too I went right back to my childhood when Mam would draw me the character and clothes & I would sit for hours colouring them in.

Now wouldn't these be perfect for a sleep over party each child could have a printout and a set of crayons to colour these as they like, or, as I have done and make them into a gift set for a little princess.
