I used these absolutely wonderful spring digi papers from The Creative Cottage freebie kit to enter their challenge, green ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, stamped sentiment from Cuddly buddly...used an epoxy heart on it.

A very good afternoon crafty bloggers. What glorious weather here in the UK, plenty of ice-cream and ice cold drinks are in order but i wouldn't say 'no' to a Latte either. This is part of a stamp from Faith 'love you a latte' which was sent to me by Michelle, what a generous person...Thankyou so much Michelle! I was waiting for some challenges as an excuse to use it, i may have missed some in the last week or so but here it is for Card-Ideas blog challenge 'yummy colours...chocoolate, caramel and 1 other (bright pink)' which very conveniently is the sisiter blog by Faith and ofcourse I couldn't miss out Michelle's challenge sketch over at The Pixie Cottage. Added a touch of Glamour Dust, stamped with Walnut Stain distress ink, a little wash over on the sentiment with my water brush, paper from The Creative Cottage 'home sweet home' kit, card candy and lace from my ever growing stash. Hope everyone is looking forward to a restful weekend, bye until next time!

Hi all! Well I've been absent from blogging for nearly two weeks...as soon as the weather warms up, my garden calls and I don't like to neglect my little outdoor space...infact it's soooo warm that my green fingers didn't want to turn into crafting fingers, my desk was being abandoned but I've now returned even though my posts might not be too regular. I do hope you'll still visit me crafty bloggers so without further ado please welcome this little lady from Cute Companions SWALK range 'sunshine' stamp, w/coloured with my Koi's.
