Happy Easter

Ok, I know I’m a bit early – it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet!  However, I wanted to share this little gift packaging idea I saw the other day but for the life of me I can’t remember whose blog I was on!!  Please feel free to help me out if you know!!

happy easter gift

I have a medium glassine bag inside filled with Maltesers (yes – just as many went in my mouth as in the bag!!) inside the folded pocket.  The bunny and egg is from the latest release from Clearly Besotted Stamps – Hoppy Easter.  Cute eh?

Thanks for popping by xxx

Clearly Besotted February Challenge.

Hey there.  It’s the 10th of the month which means there is a brand new Clearly Besotted Challenge over on Steph’s blog.  This time we have a gorgeous colour palette to inspire your creative juices!

And here’s my take on the colours and photo – I had to reach for my Tasty Treats set when I saw that scrummy cherry and the gingham block from Building Blocks provided the perfect little backdrop!

Feb challenge 2014I thought I’d show a little close-up of the glittery-ness – it never seems to come across in photos does it??

Case Study Challenge with Danielle Flanders!

Good morning – today is a very exciting day on my wee blog because for the month of February – I’m guest designing over at the Case Study Challenge hosted by the very lovely Iwona (Chupa)!!  I was thrilled when I was asked but then when I found out who this month’s muse was I was ecstatic!  It’s only Danielle Flanders!!  I adore her blog and style – she can do it all – CAS, shabby chic, modern, layered etc.  What a delight to be caseing her wonderful designs.CSC177 DF

Her first card is so stylish and bold – I took my inspiration from the gold, the contrasting black and white and the touches of vellum.  Here’s what I came up with…

I used one of the new sets from this months CBS release – Superstar – love this set – it’s perfect for masculine cards which I always struggle with!!  I was having so much fun with all my gold supplies I thought I might as well do another while I was at it!!!

The striped stamp was from Market Street Stamps which is no longer trading and so I’m not able to link it up – sorry!
