Have a great day!

I hope you are having a great day where ever you are.  Some parts of the UK have been hit by awful flooding and winds so if you’re suffering – I hope you get some comfort and normality back soon.

We’re all doing ok here apart from a few bugs flying about the place this week – poorly tummy’s and sore throats – yuk!  All appear to be on the mend now though – thank goodness.  To banish those nasty winter bugs I made a card to brighten up the day and send some well wishes.  I recently managed to get the fabby Wplus9 set, Milk and Cookies and so decided to make orange juice!!

have a great dayThe sentiment is from Tag Along by Clearly Besotted – thought it went well with this card!  The “Step it up” challenge has been extended over at Dawn’s blog Stamp Away With Me so I thought I would enter this card over there.  There’s quite a bit of dimension on this card with foam dots popping up the bottle and oranges and a good dollop of glossy accents too!

Oh, and I also thought I’d enter this card over at the CASology challenge blog where this week’s cue card is BOLD!

Have a great “rest of the weekend” everyone xxx

Just roll with it!

There’s so many people I’d love to give a card like this to – people who maybe just need to be reminded that sometimes, life just throws something at you and instead of stressing out about it (which achieves nothing) just chill out – roll with it!!  Of course, I include myself in those people – maybe I should keep it and stick it on my mantelpiece to remind myself to do it!!

I spent some of the weekend playing with more of my new goodies and this gorgeous sushi image (LOVE IT THE MOST) is from Calorie Free by Paper Smooches.  I’ve never owned any PS sets before and I have to say – they are fabulous to work with – great for a spot of colouring too – always good therapy!  The panel across the bottom is done using the one of the Border 1 dies – how useful is that going to be?!!  I can see myself using it quite a bit!  I coloured the sushi with Copics and then added a liberal coating of my clear wink of stella brush to a few areas (think I’m going to need to replace that soon!!)

Right, better get on with it – have a good week!

Caravan love!

Hi all, popping in with a card created with one of my new favourite stamp sets – Home Sweet Home by Avery Elle.  We are a keen caravanning family so when I saw this set it went on my wish list immediately!  I had our trips to the Glastonbury festival and Camp Bestival in my head when I was creating this card – hence the bunting and funky caravan colours, lol!!

There’s a new release at Avery Elle this week and a few of the new sets have caught my eye!  However, as I’ve imposed a budget on myself for a while (went a bit mad in January!!) they will have to go on my wishlist for now!

Have a great weekend.
