About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

I am representing Sunday Songs and Rhymes where we have a challenge every fortnight with a song or rhyme theme.

I have made 3 cards using We are 3 papers and digi stamps from 3 of our sponsors


All three cards used We are 3 papers from Party Celebration.  Bonnie made these papers especially for the blog hop and she is generously giving them away to everyone who joins in the hop.

Card one I used Sheepski Designs digi stamp Birthday Balloons image No 57 which I coloured with markers and sentiment from We are 3 Birthday Wishes sentiment set

Card 2 I used Patties Creations digi stamp Happy birthday bear which I coloured with markers and glitter gel pens.

Card 3 I used Bugaboo digi stamp Sunbonnet cake which I coloured with markers
and sentiment from We are 3 Birthday Wishes sentiment set

For card 1 I followed sketch 155  Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 so I would like to add card 1 to that challenge.
