bonjour beautiful

So a couple of weeks ago I got some second hand goodies from Michelle of The Craft Grotto, I bought this clearly besotted stamps and die set solely for making this... there is also a card, which I shall share in a few days but the card was only made to test how the sequins were going to look.

This fits the 'Anything Goes' at Simon Says Stamp!

once upon a time, a very long time ago...

A bit of sewing with the very first dies I ever bought - one of these was the die included with my Sizzix sidekick, the other from a set of 'Doodlebug' sizzix dies I bought with my sidekick!

A bit of felt today and another lavender bag.This fits the 'Anything Goes' at Simon Says Stamp!

The Simon Says Stamp work it wednesday challenge for April is 'flowers', now flowers isn't something I normally do, and I certainly find them hard to colour...  but I gave it a go and find the results not too bad

I've had my silhouette for years, but for the last couple it has been mostly unused, but with a new home card required, and my stamps failing me, I thought I'd drag it out.

I completely fell for the cuties in the Mama Elephant Up & Away stamp set, and have had the set for over a year and really haven't used it as much as I should. However, part of Sandy Allnock's 'Copic Jump Start' class is to colour sphere's so I dug out this set with the intention of using and thought I'd go for a 'before'.
