Totally loving Polkadoodles..

Hello there, Well I hope your enjoying your Sunday? I have got the tennis on in the background whilst I am blogging..so any spelling mistakes you know why..lol. 

I thought you would like to see my latest creation that I managed to complete a few days ago, I love using CD ROM s as they are so versatile and you always have them to hand when you need them. Their very inexpensive too, which of course I love as budgets do get stretch a lot these days. 

I do have many CD ROM s covering many brands but was recently having tidying up and found one of my favourites which is the Polkadoodles Sundae of Seasons, having had this for many years now and I do always keep going back to this as I love the designs and the fabulous digi stamps. 

You have the option to print out as black and white digi stamp or have the image already coloured in my the wonderful Nikky Hall,

Nikky is the super talented owner and designer of Polkadoodles, her designs are so original, cool and fresh and will suit any type of style of card making you wish to create. Nikky she a real gem in the crafty world, not only is she amazingly talent designer but she is so generous in her time, she is regularly on social media helping with advice, what crafters would like next, ideas and general natter and of course, she is so encouraging to us all to show our work in the many of her Facebook groups that she as started. So if you're Facebook make sure you check all her groups out. Also her brand new website as digi's and sets you can download from as little as £1 and you can pay via Pay-pal, which is a win win for me.  

As many of my followers will know I am loving CAS so much and its make a massive difference to my confident, I decided to use this super sweet image to make CAS card and so hope you like the end result.

Spectrum noir colours used are - Skin FS2 FS3 TN2 - Cheek FS2 PP1 - Hair GB8 GB10 EB5 -

 Inked the mini message "Best wishes" with Memento Tuxedo black ink 

I am loving the stitch detail of dies that you can purchase at the moment, but unfortunately I cant afford to get some just yet so I decided to create my own using the Silhouette Cameo software. I think it works out just as good and its saved me me a few pennies.

Besotted with Clearly Besotted

Hello there, I hope you are all well and you're having lovely day? Well some of my regular followers may have notice that I've not been bring you many posts lately. 

Well with one thing and other and to cut along story straight I have been a little under the weather and did lose a bit of my crafty mojo. When your not feeling yourself this happens doesn't it?

Yesterday I managed to get some decent quality crafty time in and decided where better to start, to use my lovely Clearly besotted stamps...I am totally and utterly besotted with this amazing stamp company. Stephanie Wincott and her sister Jenny run this small family business in UK and they create these amazingly beautiful stamps, all their stamps are high quality clear photopolymer stamps and would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Clean and Simple is something I have really fell for over recent months and yes clean and simple sounds quite easy..I know!! but it can take a little bit of practice to get it just right. Well I've totally enjoyed every minute of this creation and enjoyed the stamping too. It as brought back my crafty mojo back and hope I will be bringing you lots more ideas very soon.
