I’m thrilled my scheduling the posts have coincided with starting a new set in a new week on a Monday! Welcome to Fox & Friends. This set comprises 7 stamps. The first one is this adorable monkey. It took a bit of patience to cut out the monkey with a craft knife and I punched […]

Another Congratulations Card
Two cards today so scroll down to see the other. I thought I’d share this type of card using a different colour combo of the spinner card I made earlier which can be seen here . I had so much fun making the first one, I couldn’t resist making another for a very special lady – she knows who she […]
Party This Way #4
c My eldest grandson celebrates his eleventh birthday today! I can’t quite believe he is about to start secondary school come September! This is the image I love the most about this set – the pennants – it’s so in vogue at the moment. I’ve married it with the Jumble Alphabet set (page 76 MIB&C, […]
Party This Way #3

Summer Splash #4, Texture Jumbo Wheel
This is my final sample using my favourite surfboard images. I used the Texture jumbo wheel to resemble sand with Crumb Cake on Crumb cake and tore strips and adhered to the Tempting Turquoise base card leaving the top edges free of adhesive so I could tuck in my paper pieces. As the surfboards are […]
Summer Splash #3, Fish Frenzy
I wheeled Fish Frenzy in Crumb Cake – tone on tone with Crumb Cake cardstock. I scrumpled and distressed a piece of scrap Very Vanilla, stamped the fishes on scrap then cut out. The smaller fishes are from Fish Frenzy. I sandwiched linen thread between two layers of fish for each fish, knotted the thread […]
