Caardvarks Challenge

Hello and welcome to my world...


Caardvarks are doing a blog hop challenge with Clear and Simple Stamps ... The challenge is to make a baby card...
Now being in the UK I don't always get to buy the stamp sets from the USA so I am overjoyed when I see a free download ... and you can get the free Rocking Horse template Here ...


As soon as I saw this I knew I wanted to make this using material, so I adhered my material to my cardstock and printed it on the reverse side, then just cut it out .... a few little extras from my stash and this is my card...

 I hope you have a lovely day...
Thanks for popping by

A Little Shabby......

Good morning ...

The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day ... 

I just have a little something to share today which is a shabby little album made from envelopes, card and embellishments (Websters Pages). I made this to tell the story of my beloved German Shepherd, Holly, who I lost some 18months ago. Anyone who loves animals will understand how it feels to lose a pet and I lost my 2 lovely cats and my dog all within 3 years... sigh

The idea for the album came from the talented Betsy Veldman Here

As you can see - the journalling fits into the spine of the album.

I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments - they are so appreciated.

Enjoy the little things......

The lovely talented Melissa Phillips has set a new creative challenge using another beautiful photograph by Miss Leslie from "A Creative Mint'"...........


This is such a beautiful picture don't you think? Fresh linen white and soft pastel shades - it spoke of vellum and glitter and oh so many possibilities ....... 


This is my Take on it

 My handmade vellum roses, basic grey paper, stamping done in shell pink ink and a little distressing plus embellishments and glitter 


What do you think?


Have a lovely day ........

Thank you!!!

Just wanted to pop in and say a big thank you to you lovely people who took the time to leave a comment on my blog .... It really means so much.
I will definitely attempt more challenges - your encouragement is so good.


I mentioned in one of my earlier posts about my dear Aunt... I told you that she was just brilliant at embroidery, for one thing and this morning I want to just share one of her works ...
She actually draws the picture she wants or copies one from a magazine or something and then sets to it.

This is one of my favourites ....... I just want to go up and kiss him!


I'm not sure if you can see - but this is also raised - she uses materiel to make the 'chair'.


Enjoy your day and keep safe
