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/

Cute as a Button facebook group progressive freebie challenge

Each month Francesca kindly gives a free Cute as a Button digi stamp to use in the progessive challenge.  If you make a project with the digi you can request the next month's free image.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/CuteAsAButtonDigiStamps/
If you haven't already joined in you can buy this months image and make a project and then you will be able to request next month's for free.

I have made a journal page using this month's digi - Make up time



I covered journal page with white gesso, then painted with pink acrylic paint.   Painted moulding paste over hearts stencil.
Stamped flowers with pink brilliance ink.
Added flowers.
Printed Cute as a Button stamp Make up Time and sentiment that comes with it.
Cut out and coloured stamp with markers.  Sponged edge of sentiment with the pink ink.   Layered both onto page.
Added pink rhinestones around mirror to represent lights.

I hope you will go over to the challenge blog  http://cuteasabuttonchallenge.blogspot.com.au/
 and join in the April challenge 33 - Easter 

Inspiration posts every so often on the Showcase blog: 

Some lovely new stamps will be released on the 10 April and the design team are busy making cards to show on the challenge blog.
