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/

 Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes November 27
https://theoutlawzchallenges-sunday.blogspot.com/2022/11/sunday-song-and-rhyme-november-27.html

Be inspired by

What a wonderful bird the frog are!
When he stands he sit almost;
When he hop he fly almost.
He ain't got no sense hardly;
He ain't got no tail hardly either.
When he sit, he sits on what he ain't got almost.

Our sponsor is Mirtillamente
https://www.mirtillamentecraftshop.it/

Inspired by When he sit


I used the Mirtillamente precoloured digi from Crazy Paw: Froggy black & white and colour
Three We are 3 papers from Fairy Backgrounds paper set
One paper and coloured elements from Digital Scrapbooking Wishing Well by Art & Life Scraps
We are 3 sentiment from Rainbow Wishes sentiment set

 Be inspired by the song/rhyme

The Little Christmas Carollers

By L.A Franc

We are a band of carollers,

We march through frost and snow,
But care not for the weather
As on our way we go.
At every hall or cottage
That stands upon our way,
We stop to give the people
Best wishes for the day.
We pray a merry Christmas,
Made bright by Christmas cheer,
With peace, and hope, and gladness
And all they may hold dear.
And for all those that happen
To pass us on our way
We have a smile, and wish them
A merry Christmas-day.

Our sponsor is Morgan's Art World 
https://creativeartdesignstudio.company.site/

I used the lines We march through frost and snow but care not for the weather


I layered Morgan's Art World digi stamp Winter 8 onto We are 3 paper from Christmas Magic paper set and coloured it with watercolour pencils and water and white gel pen for the snow.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
