totally tropical

When you find a pink tropical print card you just have to pair it with a flamingo.

setting myself up for failure

I always try and get ahead with christmas cards, and make a reasonable start in january and february but never seem to be able to actually stick to it - here is this year's vain effort.

lots of lawn fawn

waving hello

I love lawn fawn puns... 

in with the old

I adore the colours of the old american crafts simply chic collection - I bought a second set when it was on sale and keep on coming back to use it

I cut scraps of the paper collection using quickutz and sizzle dies and made this fun cheery card

they called it mellow

attempting a one layer card and failing spectacularly

I am loving these multi layer stamps though

explosion in an ugly factory

sometimes when there is no inspiration to be found you just have to power through... and take those failures

getting the most out of some very old quickutz dies

for daddy

I love when a paper inspires you to make something completely random... like a father's day card in february

hero arts stamps, mama elephant die and pretty pink posh confetti

paper is DCWV and the inks are momento

look but don't touch

I remember buying this vellum in Fenwick's Newcastle - it is one of those things that for years was 'too good' to use.

sing it like sinatra

doing my best to colour the oh so cute mama elephant up in the air stamp set to match this DCWV paper

if rainbows were pink

I love this card so much

echo park dots and stripes paper

i can spell

quickutz dies to the rescue
