This is what you call a JUMBO stamp, it’s absolutely wonderful and so totally versatile. I love it when I can look at a stamp and pretty much already see the cards I’m going to make, that’s when I know…
My Moxie Friend!
I really should be on my way to work now, but couldn’t resist quickly joining the current Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger – Squares to Cherish. This inspiration reminded me of my Grandmother, so out came the Stella & Rose doilies again. …
the perfect pear!
So I have left it to the wire again, but I was determined to join this weeks Less Is More Challenge where the theme is Feeling Fruity! I could only find one fruit stamp and it’s part of a wonderful…

I adore this weeks inspiration at CASE Study from Dawn Woleslagle and couldn’t resist pairing it with the current colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe. It’s easy to see where I was inspired by Dawn’s card! This would have to be…
Just Because it’s Botanicals!
It doesn’t get more CAS than this, and I am totally loving all that ‘white’ space… well it’s actually kinda ‘blue’ space, but you know what I mean. I have had my eye on the Fanatical about Botanical Challenge in…
Happy Thoughts!
This is a card I made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog. I had so much fun using all these wonderful products! These flowers are totally funky (and not expensive either). Evelyn has such a large range of products online, just go visit her…
Buttons anyone!
So I’ve delayed entering the current Less is More Challenge because I couldn’t decide which way to go with the card, and now with only a few hours until the deadline, I didn’t want to miss out! I have had…
Congrats Grandma!
I was asked to make a ‘Congrats New Grandma’ card. I wanted it to be pretty and thought the colours from the current Embellish Magazine Patterned Paper Color Trends Challenge would be just perfect! I struggled a little with this…

Have you noticed I’ve been a bit ‘Krafty’ lately? I can’t help myself, I’m addicted… again! As you can probably tell I finally have some more Lawn Fawn stamps (I’ll back off the baby cards for the moment). This is…
Another Shower!
I’ve been thinking about this weeks Tuesday Trigger – Perty & Flirty… and and in the end decided I would include the background as well as that gorgeous yellow! I have another baby shower this Friday (hope it’s not conatagious) and…
Whale of a Birthday!
Another nautical card… obviously it’s a new trend that I missed, again! This time it’s Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge, totally rad inspiration! I chose the whale (see the stuffed toy in the top right hand corner), I’ve had this stamp for a little…
Double the Challenge!
So I’ve had this idea in my mind for a few days and have finally put it ‘to card’! I have combined the current Lily Pad colour challenge (how cute are those Tickled Pink Stamps!) with the Less Is…

You’re a Star!
I have very limited options on the ‘nautical’ front, so decided to paper piece a boat. I took my inpsiration from one very talented lady, Jenny at Crafting in the Country, where I was inspired by this card! This is my entry for…
