Surprise!!!

Hello everyone.  We still have snow and ice on the ground but it didn't snow overnight.  My lads School re-opened today (it closed yesterday) and he was gutted lol.  I can read in my comments how some of you have really hot weather at the moment or really cold (or extremely cold), depending on where you are.  So whatever type of weather you have, I hope you are all staying safe and taking care of yourselves.  I love the snow though, just don't like when it turns to ice!

I have a cute card to share...…

This cute couple are from Polkadoodles and I have coloured them in with ProMarkers.

Lavinia Fairy

Hi everyone.  Hope you are having a great weekend.

I go back to work tomorrow and Brandon goes back to School.  Speaking of Brandon, for the first time ever he has gone with his friends to the cinema today.  He has to take a 45 minute train journey.  He's only ever done that with me.  So naturally, I'm worrying a little bit but I'm sure he will be sensible.  He's 13 in March and is starting to get quite independent.

I've had some Lavinia stamps, brayer and inks for about 5 years now and have never used them, so I decided to get them out and have a play.....

I watched some Lavinia YouTube vids and had a go myself and this is the result.  I must say I really enjoyed doing this.  I think I've found my favourite type of technique to use more often!!

Swan Die-Cut Card

Happy New Year everyone!  I can't believe Christmas was over so fast lol.

I have a card to share today that is a bit different for me.  My fella buys me Die-Cut Essentials mag every month and Januarys has this gorgeous Swan die-cut in it.  I took inspiration from a designer called Sue Hughes who did cards with this die and tweaked the designs to my liking.  I really enjoyed making this and found it made a nice change from colouring stamped images.  It's also nice to have a card ready for my friends birthday in February.
