Lots of goodies...


Got lots of lovely ribbon and lace through my letter box this morning, and even better all bought at a really good price.

Can't wait to have a play, so soon as this rotton virus is gone and I'm feeling better

May Card Swap

Card #1
For this months Card swap that I have just begun take part in, I came over all experimental. The theme was fairies, which was a theme I hadn't really done before. So there was a bit of head scratching for a while before I remembered some stamps I had borrowed, but not got round to using, so this was the perfect opportunity.

The moon came about by total accident, as I had made a total mess of the original moon I had stamped. But my mum came up with the great idea of cutting it out. I experimented with some different papers and fell the some pearled mirri card I had...it was perfect. Unfortunately the photograph doesn't pick it up too well. So that was my happy accident with this card.



Card #2

My second swap card came about after coming across the Teddy Bo & Co website. I have to add that I had never bought a digi-stamp before but I instantly fell in love with these Teddies, they are sooooo cute and had to get the 'When you wish on a star' teddy to use with this card.
