Spiral Bouquet

Pink Moss Green and Cream
A perfect combination teamed with the Spiral Bouquet stamp set from Papertrey Ink


Attention to detail...

Some pretty pink iridescent pearls dotted on the blossoms.



Spring Moss Satin ribbon and a spring Basic Grey paper with a punched border keep the pink cream and mossy green colour running through out the card.

Snow Dog

I'm suffering with a rotton head cold at the moment and to be honest spent most of the day in bed holding my head, but, when I did drag myself up the snow was once again falling heavy.
I was itching to make a snowman but under strict orders from husband Chris not to step a foot out of the house.
My Daughter Natalie came to the rescue and built me a Snow Dog. Isn't he cute?

A Card from Artist Jim Harker

The story behind the card.
I made Jim Harker the artist at La Pashe a Christmas card and when he opened it he said that he must get around to writing his cards out, So I stamped my feet and said "I expect nothing but a hand sketched card" well, it just wouldn't do to have a shop bought one from and artist would it?


When Jim made the card for me as he passed it to me he said " I thought you might like to make a digi stamp from it to make your own cards and add some colour" So although I had made my last Christmas card (or at least I thought I had) this image was just screaming for me to add some colour.

So here it is, coloured with Promarkers and made into an Easel Card.

I hope I did him proud.

So onto the free sheets, I was playing with colour when these sheets crept up on me I love pinks, browns and aqua colours so I named them what came into my head "Pink Peppermint".

I thought that matching blossoms might be nice too.
