Its a reflection of my life and living conditions (because of work my husband who is my best friend) and I live apart. It is a tale of how you just make the most of what you have and the time we have together.

more flamingoes!

I couldn't resist making another flamingo card (especially as I'd already coloured the flamingos), and so i combined with a lot of scraps from my desk to make this. It also fits the 'Anything Goes' Wednesday challenge on Simon Says Stamp (well anything would!)

I have learnt that die cutting then stamping an image is not the way around I can naturally work... I've also learnt that RV04 is much brighter than I think.

felt like a cupcake

Both the Monday and Wednesday Challenges on Simon Says Stamp this week were all about felt... and so I sewed myself a lavender bag, decorating my cute paper smooches cupcake with plenty of pretty pink posh sequins.

reduce, reuse, recycle

I was always taught to never throw anything away that could be reused. This lavender bag is made from a pillow case that was passed its best, but now it is pretty and useful!

case this sketch #171

So I finally managed to get my hands on issue 149 of Simply Cards and Papercrafts with the free gift of Altenew roses. I've looked at this style of stamp for a while and this was a way for me to play with them, and I have to say the full set is now on my wish list for when it is back in stock.

I finished my roses by using the Case this Sketch #171 as inspiration. Simple card.
