Lili of the Valley Blog Challenge - "Thank you"

This week I have manage to get myself organised and enter the Lilli of the Valley Challenge. I absolutely love their stamps and have used The Little Things stamp which is adorable, it can be used for anniversary, thank you's or just blank card. I added some Marianne die cuts to the top and a bunch of paper flowers at the top of the stamped image.

For the sentiment I used Whimsy magical mini letter seals and cut out using my nestabilities. The stamped image was coloured and finished off with distress inks around the edge.

Happy Sunday!

Back to School

We have had a fairly chilled week this week, Isobel has had her first couple of sleepovers which have resulted in late nights and a grumpy look for the last half of the week! I also decided to brave the school shoe shopping which actually managed to be fairly painless, we only tried on 3 pairs of shoes! She was very excited as the pair we decided on were Lelli Kelli's which come with this super duper amazing make up set, those marketing people are very clever aren't they!!

This week I received my Little Darlings stamps which I have already used, I love them! On this card I have used Little Darlings First Bell Stamp which is soooo cute! I coloured her and cut her out using nestabilities.
I used distress ink pads to colour around the edge.

I used a butterfly sentiment "Love & Laughter" which has been coloured with distress inks and a few paper flowers on the edges to finish off the card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Time Flies!

Happy Sunday evening to you! Time really seems to be flying at the moment, The week goes by so quickly whilst the children are at home and then when I finally think I have 5 minutes to chat I end up doing my chores! Still I have managed to get them all done this evening so I am up to date....finally.
We have been enjoying a couple of days celebrations for John birthday which is tomorrow. We went out for a lovely Indian meal last night which some close friends which was very enjoyable! I was hoping to get some of my new stamps put to good use today but we ended up going to the local pub for our roast and taking Isobel off to her horse riding lesson, which she seems to be really enjoying!
I do have a card to show you though which I hope you like....I decided to use the love bug Magnolias for an anniversary card for my sister in law. I used my nestabilities for the background and so old ribbon I have in my ribbon box, which was probably from my local craft shop, they do fabulous ribbons!

The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps collection. I added a few gems to finish off the card.

I took a trip to Hobbycraft on Saturday to see if I can find some new paper and they had a sale on a couple of their collections (which was a bad thing), I ended up spending more than I should but it make me happy! :-)
