Been a while

Well it'a been quite a while since I posted, life just gets in the way sometimes. I haven't been doing a lot of card making recently but hope to get back into it soon and back into the challenges.
Here are a couple of cards I made for a recent 16th birthday.

Whiff of Joy Summer Stamp Kit

Pre orders are now being taken for the Summer Kit over on Whiff of Joy. Over on Katharina's blog you have the chance to win one of these fantastic kits in her blog candy giveaway.
The Spring kit was amazing and rumour has it that the Summer kit is even more stunning. Here is a sneek peek of one of the stamps.

Image Folder

Gosh it has been ages since I last blogged, time just seems to run away from you.
I haven't been doing a whole lot of crafting, but I recently made this folder for a friend to send her some stamped images in. I love these Sugar Nellie stamps so much.

New Whiff Of Joy Stamps

Ooooh how exciting, Katharina has announced that there will be a new set of medieval stamps over on Whiff of Joy which will be released on February 14th. They will feature the Charlotte & Charlie characters, designed by Alison Acton, and there is a seek preview above.
I can't wait to see the whole collection, roll on Saturday.

Can't believe how long it's been since I last posted, I was really poorly over the festive period and am just starting to get back on my feet. Didn't manage to get even remotely as much crafting done as I wanted to but here is a birthday card i made for DD1
and here are a selection of the Christmas cards that I did manage all quite simple but I was just pleased I managed to do them

I won some Sugar

Just popped over to the Sugar Nellie blog and was amazed to see I had been chosen to receive some candy.
