Lilypad - WONDERFUL BYOC for April

Hi - I have been lucky enough to play with some of Kate Hadfield's delightful artwork - I hope to be able ot spend lots more time playing with it all! For now, I needed something quick and easy for a birthday party today... This took minutes - Kate's done all the hardwork for me with her wonderful graphics, doodles and papers... Kate you are amazing!!! Her artwork is perfect for all those party needs and she covers so many different subjects with her work... There is something for everyone!

Here I used - Hippity Hoppity, New Growth Alpha and Painted Pretties papers. Thank you for making it so easy and quick to create a personalised birthday card Kate - you are an amazing designer - simply amazing! Better get off to the party now - 35 or so 5 year olds - I have my headache tablets ready in my handbag!!!

Hybrid Gift Packaging

Hi - just a quick post to point you over to Eva Kipler's blog - the lovely Andrea has posted about hybrid gift packaging - a really cool idea! I made this little box and bow really quickly using Eva's new kit - Lil' Miss Drama Queen - a fabulously girly kit! You should see what Andrea made (!WOW!) - I LOVE how quickly you can make up these ideas using digital supplies - and how lovely it is to receive something with tailor made packaging...x....

Thank you for stopping by.x.

Boy Crazy Notelets

Just a quick post to show you Melissa Bennett's latest goodies... This is just one of many lil' kits that she has just releasedover at SSD. It's fab - very versatile and I can see that I will use it for many things - especially thank you cards and notelets etc... It prints beautifully! Incidentally, this box template was SOOooo easy - I know that I've seen it on a blog somewhere and remembered 'how to' because of how easy it was to score and fold!...

Boy Crazy

Byeee for now.....x.... and thanks for looking.......x....

Miss Ladybird's Tea Party with pancakes!

Happy Tuesday!!! Did you have pancakes today??? I love pancakes and have now found out that so does my eldest son! He is 6 and has decided that now, today, he LOVES pancakes - he loves them with sugar, he loves them with chocolate spread, and he loves them with ice cream! But most of all he loves them with all of those things - altogether!!! Happy Pancake Day.....

Well - it feels like spring might be on it's way... and I totally fell for this kit by Eva Kipler & Libby Weifenbach! It reminds me of spring - it's so lovely and so colourful and so versatile! I found this little blank ladybird house at Sainsbury's and I had just got the kit the night before, so I thought it was fate and bought the house straight away - and then I painted it up a bit and played and played and played around - no longer safe for real ladybirds I guess - but I am sure I can think of a use - I may pop some hooks inside and keep my spare keys in there - and then I can keep it where I craft because it's so bright and sunny! Yay! I shall do that.x. But I think I will have to buy another house for some real ladybirds as the boys kinda like the idea of giving them a house to keep them snug!...
Thank you for looking!.x.

I'm SO excited - and I just can't hide it!

Well - I've seen the announcement - I've had the e-mail (honest I have!) and I still feel like I am dreaming!!! Can you see me - can you see my name - can you - can you?... I know - I know! It's in there with all those AMAZING chickadees... OOOOOhhhh I'm fit to burst! Thank you Melissa - thank you thank you thank you.... I will work hard - I promise.... I promise.... I promise....

and thank you Andrea.... ;-) You are my little lucky charm you are!...x...

I'm going to have a cuppa and calm down now!

Making Things for Little People

I think this is my favourite crafting thing to do.... Making stuff for the little folks in my life... I would happily do this all day every day (ohhhh if only.x.) - I have painted up some mdf board for the Santa signs - I used Nitwits, Joyful Hearts for Caitlins little sign - it's a gorgeous kit and I defy you to resist it!...x.... I have also, with permission from Caitlin's wonderful Mummy pictured my first canvas attempt for her - I am not sure about this one - it's the first try so I may start over and tweek a bit... I remembered that I have a blue and white china plate that my dearest nan bought for me when I was born, it had a picture of a stork holding a baby and all my birth details are hidden in the painting... I still treasure it now.x.
