More Sweets

Here are the rest of the cards I made for the latest edition of Die-cutting Essentials using the First Edition Sweets die set and papers designed by myself.



The square card is a shaker, the 'sweets' in the jar rattle around beautifully.

Pure Innocence

Team B's turn for the challenge over at the Paper Shelter this week and our theme is super easy!


There are great prizes up for grabs! If you are our randomly selected winner and play with a TPS image then you have a chance of winning a $30 gift certificate, any other image and you will win three digis of your choice.

I coloured up the beautiful Pure Innocence - who can resist a pretty fairy with butterflies, I certainly can't! I printed out papers (the blue came from my scrap box, but was also printed) and made my own sentiment in Photoshop, so definitely plenty of digi going on.

Blue Moon!

Haha! bet you're singing that now, aren't you?

Bluuuuue Moooon,
you saw me standing alone,
without a dream in my heart,
without a love of my own,

You must definitely be singing it by now LOL!

and after all that my card for today has absolutely nothing to do with the song hehe!

I wanted to remind you that the Paper Creator challenge is about half way through, so still plenty of time to get your entry in, for my first card on the 1st I used the Little pink mouse on the moon ultimate kit, so for my reminder I thought why not go with the Little blue mouse on the moon kit, there's definitely blue and moon in there, so the blog post title did have a little relevance 😀

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!

As it's the first of the month it's time for a new challenge over at Paper Creator, and to gently ease us into the New year it's the super simple theme of


The winner will receive a £10 store credit to spend in the Paper Creator store.
Paper Creator products are not essential, but you will gain an extra entry into the random draw if using them. The challenge runs for the whole of the month and the winner is announced at the start of the next month's challenge.

As the New Year is a time for new beginnings I thought I would make a new baby card, using the gorgeous Pink Little Mouse on the Moon ultimate kit, which is on sale at the moment for only £1, the kit contains everything you need to make a variety of cards using the cute image. Here's what I came up with...


Pink Little Mouse on the Moon ultimate kit - Paper Creator
Nesting doily circles die set - We R Memory Keepers
Crafts too- Swirly
Tonic geared border punch - dotty border
ribbon and pearls - Meiflower
