Something Old, Something New

Hello lovely peeps

A CAS card to share today, using a very old Docrafts/Forever Friends stamp which I coloured in with Copics and cut out. 

Forever Friends Daisies on Throwback Tuesday

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new follower :o)

Now that I'm back into the crafty swing of things after Christmas and New Year I've made a card for  my Throwback Tuesday feature.

Forever Friends Bear on Throwback Tuesday

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new follower :o)

For today's card I've used a Forever Friends stamp from Docrafts, dated 2008. When I first started buying my own cards as a teenager (many moons ago) I invariably bought one with a FF bear on it so when the images came out as rubber stamps I couldn't resist buying a few.

Baby Steps

Afternoon Peeps, hope you are well.

Just sharing the inside step card I made at club on Thursday.
It just needed finishing off this morning as I had done everything apart from adding the tags. Then I planned to get on and make lots of cards for an upcoming fete.

Sadly my mojo has gone walkies.
Before deciding on this arrangement I wasted an hour moving around different colour tags/buttons/card candi. Then it took me two hours to make another card that I wasn't happy with. Grrrr.

So I've quit while I'm behind, and I'm now watching the tennis with some Pimms and strawberries :D

Anyway, I used papers from the 'Country Meadow' and the 'Always and Forever - Solids' paper pads.
Sentiment Tags Stamp set from LOTV
X-Cut heart punch

'baby' letters cut using Craft Robo
'NEW' letters cut by hand - I used the 'negative' part of some old chipboard letters to trace them out.
Forever Friends stickers from Docrafts

Challenges:-
 Scrap & Craft Inspiration - Celebrations
Crafty Sentiments Designs - Sweet
The Ribbon Girl - ANYTHING GOES WITH THE OPTION OF ADDING STARS AND/OR STRIPES 
Crafting by designs - Re-use or recycle (I've re-used the scrap from my chipboard letters as a template)

Ooh, almost forgot - there's a fab Summer Clearance Sale over at Lili of the Valley.
It's free worldwide shipping on all orders over £10 and there is a massive 50% off on selected lines and 20-25% off many other items. I've already had one spending spree :D

Ta ra for now,
