My shiny new home – and a giveaway!

Hello and welcome to my new blog home.  I, like a few of my fellow blogging friends have decided to take the step to move from Blogger to WordPress.  I have been blogging since 2008 and felt like a new direction and fresh start was in order.  I think I have designed a blog that pretty much reflects me and my crafting style with my favourite colours, design elements and my penchant for sparkly things all represented here.

share this on your blog or FB page!

So, what better way to share my joy at the birth of my wee blog than to have a good old fashioned giveaway.  As my new blog theme is inspired by a few of my favourite things I thought I would go with that idea when picking some crafty goodies to give away to one lucky randomly drawn reader.  I have collected together some crafty supplies (and some not so crafty but equally important) that I just can’t live without.  I have picked from some of my most loved companies and put together a bundle that I think a lot of folks would agree is one tasty little haul!

What’s in it? (see inlinkz images below)

Clearly Besotted Stamps: Butterfly Wishes, Blooming Marvellous and Post It: Love (kindly donated by Steph at Clearly Besotted)

Papertrey Ink: Selection of cardstock (not all colours shown), A2 envleopes and a roll of Pure Poppy satin ribbon.

Memory Box Die: Cosmic Star Border

MFT Die-namics dies: Stocking Trio, Santa’s Sleigh, and Bon Appetit

Rangers Glossy Accents

Stix 2 High tack permanent tape roller (essential)

Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad

Cabury’s chocolate selection (is there any other kind??)

So here’s the all important deets….

To be in with a shout of winning all the fabulousness listed above please do the following:

Become a follower of my blog by using one of the tools provided (facebook, feedly, networked blogs etc); leave a comment letting me know what your “can’t-live-without” item is in your crafting collection; share my give-away image above on your blog or facebook page (let me know if you have) with a link the THIS POST and get your name thrown in again!

This giveaway is worldwide!

Thank you for visiting me and I hope you pop along again soon.  Who knows, now that I’m done with all this techie blog stuff I might even make a card or two to share with you!!

Cheerio for now,

Ship Ahoy!

Ok, I know I may appear fixated on this colour scheme at the moment but I am just LOVING these shades right now!!!

This card features some more Clearly Besotted gorgeousness – Ahoy Matey and the new Basic Banners set.  I love this little pirate ship, the extra wee images (like the skull and cross bones and anchor) are so cute too.

Have a good evening wherever you are!

More Fancy Feathers

Here’s another card made with the Fancy Feathers set from Clearly Besotted (available NOW  – of the newest release sets, I predict this one will sell out first!!)

A colleague of mine believes she has a guardian angel guiding her through life and often finds little white feathers in the strangest of places!  This card is for her birthday which is in a couple of weeks – I couldn’t have hoped for a better image for her!!

I have a bit of a thing for aqua and green colours at the moment!  Maybe it’s the hint of Spring that has appeared over the last few days now that most of the snow has melted!!

Thanks for stopping by.
