Another of my new stamps

When I saw that Pops was selling some stamps on her Facebook page of course I had to take a look, well I say some, 212! I just had to buy this cute Bildmalarna couple as I make a lot of wedding cards to sell. This card though is for a couple of friends who are getting married on Saturday.I went for lilac for a change from pink, using Papermania Boysenberry papers and some lovely spotted organza ribbon. The bouquet is made up from Crealie die cut leaves and kraft and Wild Orchid flowers.

My Mum's Craft Shop Weddings/anniversaries

I had a couple of people intrigued by my free lunch (see yesterday's post) and they want to know more. We booked our hotels for our Autumn holiday at Virgin holidays in the House of Fraser (HOF) store and got a HOF card to collect points to spend. Bought some bedding and a couple of other things too and accrued £15 to spend. Went to Cafe Zest in HOF for coffee and asked about spending the points and were told we could provided we paid balance by card (something to do with the way they deal with the cards!) Went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago and ordered and tried to use card and were told we couldn't as they are not HOF but independent. Hubby not happy and complained, so we paid. Result manager came over very apologetic and offered us a free lunch next time. So we had a free lunch and the used the £15 in store. They do very nice lunches by the way and great customer service.

First Christmas Bag

Friday means another challenge at Winter Wonderland and this week we have a colour challenge for you. Squirrel is our lovely host this week and our sponsor is Lili of the Valley with a £10 voucher, wish I could win that. So, we want to see pink and/or lilac and aqua and/or green. So you can choose to use two colours, pink or purple and aqua or green or three or even all four. I have chosen pink, purple and aqua, such a yummy combo. I decided to make a start on Christmas bags.

Baubles and Bells

It's time for another Christmas challenge at Winter Wonderland and this week we have a photo to inspire you.

As you can see I have taken my inspiration from the blue and silver colour scheme and also chose this Bildmalarna image with baubles. She ha been coloured with PMs and FMs and I have added some Viva pearl pen dots around the image. I have used DI Iced Spruce, The Snowman paper pad, MS border punch, baker's twine, bell charms which jingle beautifully, Woodware holly punched leaves,white roses and pearls. I hope you will join in this week as we have a lovely stamp on offer from Crimson Cloud. It's never too soon to make those Christmas cards you know.

Letters and Roses

I'm back with my second post for today. Please scroll down for my Humphrey sneak peek.

This is my third guest designer card for The Stamp Basket.

I have used the gorgeous new Bildmalarna Letters and Roses stamp. The card blank is Craftwork Cards on the edge elegant one and I decide to try something different with this card. I wanted to show off the beautiful birds on the Prima Meadowlark paper so stuck part of a sheet direct to the card and then cut it out following the shape of the card. I then mounted the die cut image onto more of the same paper and added some cream vintage ribbon. She has been coloured with Promarkers ad Flexmarkers and I paper pieced her dress to match the backing paper.

The large Prima Meadowlark flowers match the papers so beautifully and I added some tiny flowers and some Hobby House pearls to the flowers and to her bouquet.

I would love it if you hopped over to The Stamp Basket and posted a comment on my post.
