Well the past week has been full of dreaded lurgy, hospital appointment, card making class at Sarah-Jane's  and getting ready for market yesterday, and unfortunately the blogging did slide a bit.  Many apologies for that :o(  Still feeling a bit rotten, as it goes, but determined to not let it get me down.  On a plus note, market was quite successful yesterday, made a profit (which is always good) and sold 16 cards, which is absolutely fab :o)  The days are counting down now til the Spring Mini catty is no more, so I will be showcasing the lovely things that can be found in there for sure over the next few weeks.  If you like the look of anything, please contact me before the end of the month, because once they're gone, they are gone and I would hate for you to miss out on them.


One of my favourites from this catalogue is the Postage Stamp punch:

I have used the lovely Spice Cake dsp for some of the squares punched from the Postage Stamp punch and stamped two others using stamps from the Perfect Postage stamp set.  If you want a closer look at what is on offer in the Spring Mini, you can find it up there ^^^ under the Catalogue tab.  Please feel free to message me for more information or to place an order.  


I look forward to hearing from you soon :o)

Umbrellas at the ready!

Morning all :-)  Dark, miserable and rainy day today.  Although I am hoping that it rains for most of the day because we haven't seen rain for ages and the poor plants need it, bless 'em.  Today we are going to Grannie's.  We usually go on a Saturday, but as it was market yesterday, we are going today instead.  Just need to get ourselves dressed and organised and then we'll be off.


Today's card sold at market yesterday, along with 4 other of the smaller cards I made, so I am very pleased that I made some more cards Friday night in preparation for Saturday :-)

I used the Postage Stamp punch and three of the stamps from the Perfect Postage stamp set (which can be found in the Spring Mini), the other stamp is from the S-A-B stamp set, Fresh Vintage.  Again I used Spice Cake dsp in the background.  I am thinking I may have to stock up on this dsp in readiness for when the Spring Mini catalogue ends, I do love it so much :-)


Hope you all have a fab day, whatever the weather :-)  Speak to you all tomorrow.

Beautiful day

Apologies for not posting yesterday, it was a full on day at Moors Valley Country Park and we were both pretty tired when we got home.  It was good to see good friends for a chat and watch our children play together well all day.


And, here we are, at the end of another beautiful day today, not a cloud in the sky out there at the moment.  But today has been spent indoors making up some cards ready for sale at Lyndhurst tomorrow.  Here is one of them:

For this one I used the Postage Stamp punch, which can be found in the Spring Mini Catalogue.  I love this stamp alot, it gives a great effect.  I used two stamps from the Perfect Postage stamp set (also available in the Spring Mini) for two of the cut outs, and the rest were punched out using some dsp that I had, from Nursery Nest, Beyond the Garden, and Big Top Birthday.  Finally, the sentiment was one from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Outlined Occasions.


Hope you like it :-)  If you fancy any of the stamps, papers, card or punches, please feel free to contact me, only just over a month to go til Sale-A-Bration ends and the Spring Mini is only available til the end of April, so time is of the essence :-)


Enjoy your evening and speak to you all tomorrow.
