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/

Our sponsor this fortnight is Lacy Sunshine who has given us some lovely digi stamps to use.
https://lacysunshine.weebly.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html

My eyes aren't too good so I printed Lacy Sunshine digi stamp Daisy Love Buggmee large, coloured it with markers then scanned it and reduced it to fit on my card.
Layered it onto three papers from We are 3 SunFlower paper collection
Added sentiment from We are 3 Itty Bitty Birthday sentiment set
Added flowers from Digital Scrapbooking daisies for your birthday.

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