My Little Chickadee

Good morning hope you are having a good week, its been really beautiful weather here on the Northwest Coast.  Today I have a card to share with you for the Digital Delights Blog, if you take a trip over there the rest of the DT have done some gorgeous projects for you.  Here is mine:

This little sweetie is called  Chickadee and is available here. I coloured her with my Copics and fussy cut her out.  The papers are Nitwits Daffodil Joy and the sentiment is from the Easter Sentiments Set which is available here. I used Spellbinders Circles for the mat and Butterfly Circle.  The card was made using my Go Kreate XXL Scallop Square die.  The border was made using my X Cut border die.  I used yellow and pink ribbon but I am not sure if you can see it that well!

Hopefully I will be able to come back and enter some challenges. A busy day today, going round to clean my Aunt's house then take her out for lunch.  Tomorrow I am driving down to London to spend the weekend with my Grandsons so I will have to sort my things out today so I can get an early start.
Thank you so much for looking and the lovely comments you leave, have a lovely weekend whatever your plans are. See you soon.

Egg Collection Set

Hello and I hope you are having a good week. The weather here has been so nice for the past week, beautiful sunny Spring days.

Today I have a card for you made with one of the new images available this month from Beccy's Place:

I used the coloured version of this as I love the pretty pastel colours Beccy has used.  The set is called Egg Collection set and is available here.  I printed one of the sentiments that comes with the set directly onto the papers which are Nitwits Just Hatched.  The flower is Cheery Lynn Sweet William and I used the leaf die from Memory Box Fabulous Phlox die.  The borders are Lawn Fawn and I finished off with some Card Candi coloured with my Copics.

Delightful Thursday

A big welcome to my blog so lovely to see you here! Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day, gorgeous sunshine and no wind.  I took Rowan onto Stanley Park in Blackpool we fed the ducks (although Rowan ate his bread) and went on the swings.  So nice to have such a lovely day hopefully with more to come.

Today its time for another Delightful Thursday where the DT of Digital Delights Blog showcase some of the wonderful images available in the Digital Delights Store. My card fits in beautifully with this lovely Spring weather:

This image is so cute and called Precious Bunny available here and the sentiment is from the Easter Sentiments set available here. I coloured the image with my Copics and the papers are Nitwits "Hoppy Hearts".  I used my Go Kreate XXL Scallop Square die for the card shape.  I cut the image out using Spellbinders Circles and framed him with a Marianne die through which I inked some Broken China DI.  The sentiment was cut out using a die from Dienamics Blueprints 21.  The flower is Memory Box Fabulous Phlox and I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the border.

Good morning to you all - did you have a nice weekend? It was Mothering Sunday here in the U.K. yesterday.  My daughter came over with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and took me out to a Michelin Starred restaurant for lunch.  My sister came too as she doesn't have any children and has always been like a second Mum to mine.  We had a lovely time and I felt like the Queen!

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Lexis Creations and the theme this week is Easter we want to see your creations made for Easter, here is mine:

Mmmmm quite a busy card I think!  The image is by Your Next Stamp coloured with my Copics and chalk for the sky which you can't really see that well.  The papers are Nitwits Waddles Whimsy and the little duck in the corner comes from the set.  The sentiment is Inca stamps and I used Marianne die to cut it out.  Heart banner is La La Land and Dienamics Stitched Rectangles to cut the image out.  Here is another view:
