Birds, Birds, Birds!! This suite is all about the birdies. The Bird Ballard paper is made for the fussy cutter fanatic. I love the dawn chorus most days but this morning I have to say it woke me up at 3.30am and which I didn’t appreciate.

I have always been lucky to live in tree lined streets and areas with lots of hedges and vegetation. We moved to Lincoln 3 years ago from London. In London, I loved only a street away from the busy North Circular road and yet the number of birds we had was amazing due to all the hedges. There were often magpies, black birds, crows as well as lots of little robbins on the grass verges or making a cacophony of noise in the trees.

Cute Gift Box – Magnolia Lane

Cute gift box which is perfect for a lovely birthday treat for someone special.

I have another lovely project to share with you today. Here is simple and easy gift box that is perfect for that special gift for someone important.

Cute Gift Box – Magnolia Lane, made using supplies from Stampin’ Up!

This box is quick and easy to make thanks to the wonderful coordinating products that Stampin’ Up! provides. The box is made from Mossy Meadow cardstock and the lovely Magnolia Lane designer series paper. The magnolias have already flowered sadly but this paper can keep them alive and is great for the gardener in the family. I think this box would have been perfect for my Granny with a lovely little soap in it.

In Lincoln we had some lovely pink and white magnolias that were out a few months ago. I do like the spring flowers as they herald the start of warmth and beauty.

New Year New Start

Hello,

I am sorry I’ve been AWOL for so long, unfortunately my health hasn’t been at its best but hopefully I am on the right road now.

I have a cute birthday card to share with you today that I actually made a few months ago but never got to publish the video. It’s using the Playful Pals stamp set which I absolutely love. I have used the image of the otter but you could quite easily one of the other cute little critters as well. This set is perfect for colouring and I have used the stampin blends alcohol markers to colour my image. They would equally as good using the watercolour pencils as well.

I am going to try and post videos now three times a week on my YouTube channel so please subscribe.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Enjoy Being Creative!!!

Birthday Card using So Detailed Thinlits

Hello,

I hope you are all well. It is grey wet day here in Lincoln. Definitely not the type of day to poke your nose outside.  I therefore decided to do some crafting to cheer up myself up and thought I would share this birthday card I made with you.

I absolutely love this die set. It is so intricate and detailed but cuts beautifully, all the little pieces come out easily and there is no struggle to get the die cut out of the die. It comes in a bundle with “So in Love” stamp set with a saving of 10%.

Well until next time “Enjoy being Creative”.
