Picnics, that's the more you could want, when I was a little girl we had regular family picnics and this year Creations by AR have it covered for us with a new release of My Picnic Basket

Picnic_BasketRelease

Such fun to stuff with favourite treats.

Picnic_Basket1

its made at the bat of an eyelid, very quick to make up.

I stuffed mine with mini chocolate digestive packets but it could have been a gift box or good for your treats to get our little ones eating healthy snacks.

Romancing Paper Pack


I have mostly in my time given away freely to my readers papers that I have designed, I can spend days at a time creating these and so this time I am asking a small fee for my papers, this new set is beautiful so I think a £1 charge isn’t asking too much it works out at 20 pence per sheet.

Good Luck Leprechaun

I made up the Leprechaun from Mo’s Digital Pencil, it was created on St Patricks day. It was given as a 24 hour freebie by Mo on her facebook page so if you hurry you may still get it free.

leprechaun1

I love that this image comes with it’s own Irish Blessing, it takes all of the hard work out in trying to hunt one down.

leprechaun2

He’s such fun no?

Coloured with Copic Markers and chalk pencils.

I added some Mica gold flakes to the card.

And of course it wouldn’t be complete without a 4 leaf clover made with a heart punch.

Chapel Window Stamped Card

I simply love this stamp Chapel Window by Just Inklined, it could be used for so many different occasions, Easter, Wedding, Sympathy, Christening, Inspirational, it would be perfect for fundraising cards.

I started this one during the Create and Craft show and finished it when I was back at home.

Chapel_Window_Jak_Heath1

I added the extra shading to the center circle and used some chalk pencils on some shading.
