Below are my 2 Samples just to tickle your fancy ..... Truly the Stamps are fantastic .....

I really could not using the little houses and made a whole Fairy Village ..... See below .....

 

I so wishes you could see the bling on the cards below ..... Boy did they shine !!!

 

 

 

Below are Tracey Dutton's Sample just to show you the designs, they really are just fabulous .....



 

See the Tall trees in the background they too are new Stamps .....

 

 

 

They are just fantastic ..... I can't wait to get me hands on "The Green Man" Stamp ..... They are so hot of the press I have not as yet managed to treat myself to this but I will very soon ......
Anyway if you are going to the NEC Tracey will be demoing the Stamps so pop along and watch her work her magic and have a chat with Kevin too ..... He will be there to help you with your purchases and any queries too !!!

Now just one more Sample that I really loved making ...... It was my mid month Sample for this Month's Lavinia Stamps Creative Challenge "Colour, Sparkle and Bling" .....
I used those Spotted Toadstools Stamps which just happen to be one of my favourite Stamps ..... Also I used the Spiders Web, Snails and Spider Stamps and I even fussy cut the Snails and Spiders because I just love to Fussy Cut ..... but if you follow me you will already know that, lol .....
The Word Stamp is "Don't let Life dull your Sparkle" and that was just perfect for this card and theme .....

Here you go .....



 

Oh well back to making next month's Samples .....

 

So until the next time ..... Take care and "Happy Craftng"

 

Loads of love

New Lavinia Creative Challenge - March 2017 - Colour, Sparkle and Bling !!!

Hello once again

It is that time again to announce that there is a New Lavinia Challenge and for March the theme is "Colour, Sparkle and Bling"..... The winner of the Lavinia Creative Challenge will win a voucher for £40.00 to spend in the Lavinia Web Shop and just a heads up there are new stamps coming out very soon .....

Below are my 2 sample cards to help give you some inspiration but unfortunately the bling doesn't show very well ..... I really wished you could see these are they are prettier in real life but at least you can imagine the bling .....

We are nearly into Spring ..... where on earth did that time go ...... The buds are opening and the Daffodils are just showing their pretty flowers along with the Snowdrops and blossoms on the trees ..... Oh how I love this Season .....

Anyway I thought I would let you know this time as I only used a few stamps which ones I used .....
and for my first card I used the Ocean Flowers along with the Fox 2 Peri Stamp .....

For my second card I used the Single Glow Flower and the Glow Flowers which are a smaller set of 2 and these really are such pretty stamps .....

So go get your Crafty stuff out and start creating hopefully the winning entry and if mine don't inspire you much this month please have a look at the other Design Team's samples they truly are amazing .....

Until the next time I hope you all keep well and happy crafting !!!

Loads of love
