Watercolour Foliage For #GDP333
Hello and welcome. Today I would like to share with you a card I created for the Global Design Project #GDP333. This week is a colour challenge, using Mint Macaron, Garden Green and Balmy Blue.

How to create a Sweet Treats Pop Up card
Hello and welcome to this months Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. This months theme is Sweet Treats and I just had to use the 'Sweet Talk' suite. This suite is adorable, great for valentines or that special someone, but also for birthdays and kids. I wanted to make a fun card, suitable for a BFF. As a child I used to love Pop Up books and was amazed by the characters and images that seemed to jump out of the page. Today, I have recreated that joy in a card and hope that you too give it a go....

Blended Background For A Hello There Card
Hello and welcome to this months Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month we have been given a theme of Animals, leaving us free to interpret this however we like. Mention the word animals and I start thinking of sheep! Big, small, white, black. Any sort of sheep! I adore them, so of cause, for this theme I am using a sheep. To be precise a ram, but its still a sheep. The 'Peekaboo Farm' stamp set has five super cute animal stamps, that can be placed to peer over the wall image. This set was a...
