Best Friends

Good Afternoon

Are you enjoying the sunshine?,... what a fab day here is Maidstone, although I have spent all of it indoors, first doing the very boring housework and then in my crafty cupboard.

I would like to say thanks for the lovely comments lately, especially on my KK Club Kid in lilac, I got lots of comments on my colouring which I am really chuffed about because I have been really practising. My colouring doesn't normally get mentioned so maybe the practising is starting to pay off.

I have made a little card today using Best Friends from LOTV (like you didn't know!) LOL. My daughter is going to give it to her friend for her birthday.

The little sentiment is also from LOTV and the papers are FF 'Retro'. Gems and flowers and ribbon from stash. I got that NS little vellum butterfly again in this one, but is sooo cute!

Well we have had a right miserable day here today, gloomy and rain all day! Yucky!

I did warn you I had a thing for these LOTV stamps so here it is again, last one for a while I promise. I am going to have to treat myself to just one more I think.LOL

I have used my Spring Time papers again, I just love the blue and yellow. I have coloured her with promarkers. The flowers are from Wild Orchid and the ribbon is from stampin up.

Anything Goes at Fab N Funky

Good Morning

Our first challenge of this year at Fab n Funky is a nice easy one for you, one we know you all love.........................

Anything Goes

I have used Tea Party from LOTV, now I will apologize now as I have a thing about these stamps at the moment and I only have 2 of them (cry cry, do you feel sorry for me yet?) The gorgeous papers are Forever Friends Spring Time which I have to say I think are spot on and great value too as they are double sided! I have coloured with promarkers and the Cherry Blossom flower is from Wild Orchid crafts and the little purple ones are from stash as is the lace and ribbon. I used a Stampin Up sentiment and also their circle punches which of course fit beautifully. I also used my MS butterfly punch.
