Caffinated Critters

These 3 look like they are straight out of a story book, sat on the log enjoying coffee and donuts putting the world to rights

Camping Dad

I have been so excited for my new My Favourite things to arrive but life has been a little hectic, trying to get the garden sorted out so I literally just have not had two minutes to play. But of course Fathers Day is nearly here here in the UK, so I had the perfect excise to create a card

big news

I have wanted some Purple Onion Designs stamps for a long time so was really pleased to find that they were now been stocked here in the UK, however they were sold out when I first attempted so had to wait a little longer but am so glad I finally got some 

T4TD Scene

This months challenge for Time For Tea Designs Challenge Blog is a scene card. This is my niche so I just knew I had to enter. This poor bunny got a little more than he bargained for though when he was asked to hold onto that rope

selkie

A freebie from Sweet November Stamps and it really is pushing my comfort here, You may not have noticed but I avoid mermaids like the plaque as I really struggle with under water scenes but it is time to bite the bullet and stop been a baby. So I pulled on my big girls pants and went for it, It didn't actually turn out as totally underwater, but is definitely a sea scene

warm wishes

A nice walk through a mystical woodland for this two. Although they are a winter set they look quite apt in the woods with their warm coats and boots

Background Stamps

A story book scene for this adorable little bear from Tim3 For Tea Designs. I have paired him with the new Lee Holland background scene stamps and have to say i am in love

Tweet friends

This adorable bird from the Stacey Yacula Tweet Friends is seriously trying to impress his lady friend, she does look a little smitten

foxy

I took my inspiration for this card from Kit and Clowder March class, in which we coloured a cave, I decided this would make a perfect tree and that would be the perfect home for Mr Foxy

I wanted to make a bouquet of flowers as if Foxy had just collected them on his way home. To do this I roughly cut out a mask, then stamped the flowers from the Sett stamp set

BBQ Anyone

This card is for my best friends husband, he is the BBQ master and can cook anything as long as he is in the garden. Put him in the kitchen and nothing is edible

Mermaid

I totally forgot I had got this stamp free last month until the Sweet November Stamps Newsletter dropped into my inbox and I got his months freebie. I think I felt a little intimidated as I am not very confident with under water scenes but I do love how it turned out

Perfect time to craft

 

A new month so time for a new challenge over at A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog. As always this is anything goes and this month our sponsors are Dr Digi's and a new sponsor Stampers Delight.

This image is Deirdre's day off by Dr Digi, I love the humour in Dr Digi's images and so felt it would be appropriate to put Deirdre in a comical place which her sunbed and cocktail.

Enchanted Forest

 

Singing away in an enchanted forest

Howdy Partner

I got this stamp set in a mystery box from a fellow crafter who was destashing. The company are no longer trading but I thought this would make a great desert shaker

Whimsy Stamps

I won a prize on the Teen Self Esteem Hop for Whimsy Stamps. Last time I ordered from America I got stung for customs and it added an extra £28 onto my bill so I decided to go with digital images. This is the first image I coloured up. 

This would have been our garden if we had not realised that Rosie the rabbit was actually Ray the rather rampant stallion!!!

Kindness Hop

 I am participating in the kindness hop on Instragram. I love to send homemade cards as we have no idea what another individual is going through and yet my showing you care may lift someones spirtis in a tough time

magical gnome

This beautiful gnome is having a lovely stroll through the magical forest while drinking her tea. I sure hope her mug keeps her drink warmer than mine did at my sons football match on Sunday Morning 

Bunny Burrow

This cute little hedgehog is so happy that lockdown is over and he can finally go for dinner at his best friends Miss Bunny. He is gleefully bouncing his way there

Shake Your Tail Feathers

Fancied a change from drawing trees so thought these fabulous birds could do with a lovely garden to relax in. That one on the perch looks like he is quite enjoying the sunshine.

Under the keg

The inspiration for todays card came from lesson 4 of the Sandy Allnock Copic Enchantment class, it is a slimline sun set with a log in the foreground and a forest in the background. I felt these drunks gnomes may not be able to see the sunset but it would create a fab backdrop for them,
