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. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Sunflowers

 Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Sunflowers
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-rhymes-challenge-3-to-16-october

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

  Send sunflowers!

With my turkey-bone whistle
I am calling the birds
To sing upon the sunflowers.
For when the clouds hear them singing
They will come quickly,
And rain will fall upon our fields.
Send sunflowers!

I printed paper and coloured elements from Digital Scrapbooking Studio Sunshiney Day by The Urban Fairy.
Printed Sandi Samples stamp 111 Sunflowers onto white card, coloured with markers, cut out and layered on top of paper.  Stamped Happy Birthday.
Layered all onto white card.

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