Today is the Day

Hi everyone, 

I hope today is going well, 

Another busy day here, I’m packing my bags and driving to Lavinia..

Ready for tomorrow’s grand Opening at the Dreamatorium.

I am really looking forwards to seeing so many of you…in person and online. 

Before I get sorted I thought we could have a little catch up , 

I have another sample to share with you…

I love to mix new stamps with items that we already have 

So much fun 

As you know I adore the white space 

First I created the shape using one of our sticker stencils 

Next some stamping, 

These little fledglings are going to be so useful. 

Next some extra greenery, 

And finally some music notes..

The music of love 

Here is a closer look 

I think this card could be used for an anniversary card, valentines, or just because card.

I do hope you like it..

I’m off now to have a brew and I will be back soon with a little catch up YouTube video

Enjoy life 

Much love and hugs

Happy Times

Hi everyone, 

Only me again.

Hope today is going well, 

Bless him , our little Elliot has been in hospital with his tummy…he has been diagnosed with 

Celiac disease at 7 years old…

I feel for him…it is bad enough as an adult. 

He is back home now , thank goodness. 

I am just popping in with our Tuesday catch up video 

A new stamp may have just sneaked in too.

Here is a closer look

The Joys Of Spring

Good morning everyone, 

Welcome to April 

and to a new Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is 

The Joys of Spring 

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins a £40 Lavinia voucher..

And yes it could be you 

Last month it was my very good friend and follower 

Joanne Lind…

How fabulous is that…

All the details are on the Lavinia stamps website 

Here is some inspiration 

I hope you like it.

I started with some ink blending…fabulous Elements inks

Next some stamping 

Gradually building up the scene 

No pizza though 🤣

It wouldn’t be spring without Bumble and Hum 

Some finishing tricks, light , shade and some sparkle.

Here is a closer look 

I do hope you will enter…maybe it will be your name that I am sharing at the end of April 

Have a lovely day and I will pop back later..

Much love and hugs
