Here are some more of my samples made for Pamela from Crafty Catz. This set is called Dreamy Butterflies and they are lovely. Again they stamp and emboss beautifully. In this set you get three stunning butterflies, all different, a few swirls, a heart shape and a lovely sentiment.

Please give Pamela's website a look, she also has some great CD's and digital backing papers for sale as well as some freebie downloads!

Hope you like them

Crafty Catz Rubber Stamp Samples Garden Ted

I am so lucky to be on Pamela of Crafty Catz Design Team. She sent me her beautiful rubber stamp set Garden Ted. They stamp beautifully. In the set you get a cute Ted, grass, and 2 different size flowers.

I coloured mine in with promarkers, used lots of backing papers, ribbons and paper flowers. I tried to make them different, hope you like them.

Cuddles

What a strange day weather wise today, tried to snow, had some hailstones, and now can't decide whether to be sunny or cloudy. So I decided to stay in and make a card.

I used one of favourite images by LOV, (who have free postage on their site at the moment) and stamped it in Rich Cocoa Memento ink, coloured in with my promarkers of course. Bought another new Nestie set, Large Scalloped Circles so used them with the Large Circle set. Backing papers are DCWV and ribbon, chipboard and flowers from my stash.

Blue and Brown

Loved making this card today, first time I have had a chance to sit in my new craft room and enjoy the peace and quiet. The card itself is for a friend of mine, and although the image looks strange, lol, trust me its exactly right for her. Can't say too much more cos though I think she doesn't look at my blog, you never know.

Used my typical square card, a mixture of K&Co and DCWV papers, stamped the image which is from The Image Tree and has to be one of my oldest stamps, in black memento and coloured in using my promarkers. Used some Stampin Up and Martha Stewart punches. Flowers are from wild orchid crafts.

Managed to fit it in to loads of challenges too, why don't you pop over to their blogs and see the great DT cards.

Lets Celebrate!

I have a few birthdays coming up, so wanted to get ahead with my cards, hate leaving everything until the last minute!

I actually started my card at craft class last night using paper from a pad from SU in a soft mossy green. I didn't really know where I was going with it until I looked at it fresh again today. I decided to use one of my favourite LOV stamps, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and coloured in using my Promarkers.

The sentiment is from a stamp in my stash, and then punched out using the oval and then scalloped punches again from SU.

Flowers as always from wildorchidcrafts and gems are Do-crafts I think.

Found a couple of challenges for it;

Lili of the Valley - Here comes Summer

Charisma Cardz Challenges - Girly creation with dimensional flowers

Hope you like it, and as always leave a comment so that I can hop over to your blog too.

My new craft room

Thought you might like to see some pictures of my new craft room.

As I have outgrown the Dining Room and didn't have a spare bedroom I have decided to convert the conservatory. Chucked out all the furniture and bought some new bits. The Expedit for Ikea was recommended by a crafty friend and I have to say its excellent. Can fit loads of stuff in and great for all your 12x12's.

I decided on a pine table instead of a desk as my PC won't be going through and I wasn't wanting loads of extra drawers either. Would have liked a bigger table but it will have to do, couldn't really fit anything larger in the car.

The three tier storage units behind are fabby. Bought then for only £10.00 each from Home Bargains and have masses and masses of stuff in them, and they fit well behind my craft table.

Left a sofa in too, thought I could sit a read my craft mags in the sun.

So manged to get all but a half dozen kits in, have left thenm in a cupboard in the Dining room for now.

Wonder how long it will stay this tidy and organised?
