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/

Blue, green and yellow with die cuts.  I used Beccys free silhouette digi stamp which I recoloured green.    The embossed yellow card is a bright yellow but the scanner didn't scan it correctly.  The background behind the stamp and yellow circle is blue and green inks onto block and spritzed with water then the card placed over it.   I added dragonfly and buttons die cuts.

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Daisies

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-song-rhyme-april-18-may-1-2021

Our sponsor this month is Patties Creations who has given us some digital stamps to use
https://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

Daisy Time

See, the grass is full of stars,
Fallen in their brightness;
Hearts they have of shining gold,
Rays of shining whiteness.
Buttercups have honeyed hearts,
Bees they love the clover,
But I love the daisies' dance
All the meadow over.
Blow, O blow, you happy winds,
Singing summer's praises,
Up the field and down the field
A-dancing with the daisies.


I have used We are 3 papers from Springtime and Farm Life paper sets
Patties Creations digital stamp Gerber Daisy in vase which I coloured with chalks and markers
Typed sentiment in word art
Added extra daisies from Digital Scrapbooking Studio.
