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/

Outawz Progressive Freebie challenge

Every month a different designer gives a free image to use for the Outlawz Progressive Freebie challenge.
The Outlawz ning site closed on 15 June and the challenge was moved to the Facebook group for June and July.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/713117412100332

The free image for June was 
from Sheep Ski Designs 
https://sheepskidesigns.blogspot.com/p/shop.html

I made this card at the end of June and entered the challenge but didn't put it on my blog so I am adding it now.


I layered Sheepski Designs digi stamp Bryans Baby onto papers and added sentiment.
Unfortunately I didn't write down where the papers and sentiment came from and now I forget.

I followed the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 with the twist of Red white and blue
