Quick Easter Card!

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to share a quick Easter card I made, using "Easter Ducklings" by Lia Stampz", available from Whimsy Stamps. This is a digital stamp, so really quick and easy whip into a card at the last minute! I used Copics to colour the image, then cut it and framed it with my Nestabilities Picot Circles. I just used some digital papers and a little bling and voila!... VERY quick card!

Hope your Easter was lovely!

Hope you like my card!

Love & Hugs,

Hi Everyone!
Hope you've all had a great week!
Just wanted to share a card with you that I made this week for St Patrick's Day, using the new "St Patrick's Day Sentiments" from Raindrop Echo Designs. This fab set is available at Whimsy Stamps in digital format, and I just easily changed the colour to suit my card.
I also used the pretty "Emerald Isle Digital Papers" by Michele Roos Designs (also available at Whimsy Stamps), and finished it off with some bling, flowers and sheer ribbon.

Hope you like my card!

Have a lovely week everyone - and may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Catching Up!

Hi Everyone!

Well I feel completely embarrassed to realise that I haven't blogged since Christmas! This time of year is so crazy that I guess something had to slip... but shame on me!
I hope you all had the most fabulous Christmas and New Year, and are enjoying 2013!

Well apart from all the fun and frivolity of the season, I've been very busy with my card-making and crafting. Unfortunately I don't have much to share with you right now though! Most of my work got sent out as Christmas cards, or has been for the Whimsy Stamps January Magazine (Issue 11) - which will be available from January 30th! Of course I've still been posting on the Whimsy Facebook Fanpage each week, so you can see me there!
I've also been working on a range of cards which will soon be available for sale at StudioD in Verdun, here in South Australia.
Lots going on, beautiful summer weather (though this heat-wave thing is a little much!), and another new niece to spoil! Life is busy - but I'll make sure I pop in to share it with you!

Have a great week!
Love & Hugs,

Christmas Whimsy Inspiration

Hi Everyone!
Only one week until Christmas now! Hope everyone is feeling calm and peaceful, merry and bright!  ;) Well... I hope that things are coming together and aren't tooooo stressful at least!
What are your plans for Christmas Day? We are having Christmas at our place this year, and have had fun putting up the tree and preparing for my family - especially my gorgeous little nieces! Christmas Eve is forecast for 39C, so we are thinking a BBQ is a good idea. :)

This week I want to share a card I made using the adorable new StampArt Design by Kathryne digital images. I used "Noelle" bear, and then flipped and positioned "Sweetie Bear" next to it, with the Bonus sentiment from Noelle above them. I love that you can merge any of Whimsy's digital images to create little scenes - so much fun and so easy to do!

Hope you like it!

Wishing you all a FABULOUS Christmas - forget the fuss and fancy, and just create special memories with your family and friends!

Love & Hugs,
