Waltzingmouse stamps!

My good friend, the VERY talented Claire Brennan is releasing four new stamp-sets tomorrow!!!

There have been sneak peeks all week on her blog Waltzingmouse be sure to check them out.

The Clear Photopolymer stampsets retail at £13 sterling each (approx just over $22 US dollars at todays rate, which is subject to change) and Claire ships to US, Canada, Australia, Europe, UK and Ireland.

I've been lucky enough to get my hands on one of the new sets 'Earthangel' & it is amazing, I can't put it down. Thanks Claire ;)

As with all of Claires sets the possibilities are endless & she really does think of everything!

Be sure to stop by her blog tomorrow to see all four stamp-sets in their entirety.

Below are a few cards I have made with the Earthangel set, the wee angel is just adorable.

Quick card

Hello! Can you believe its July already? 

I made this card the other day while I was waiting on dinner cooking, so its a bit rough round the edges. I was itching to have ago at this wee heart stamp from Claire's latest stamp-set, which you can find here. 

Anyhow I should go I have a million & one things to do today.

Thanks for looking.

Teachers...............

Hello!

It's coming up to the end of the school year so I thought i'd better get busy and make a card for each of my daughters teachers. I made these on friday morning while at a friends house. I think most of you may know (waltzingmouse) and I'm sure you already know she has started her own stamping line, you can check her stamp sets out here they are something else! 

While I was there on friday morning she was working on cards for the release of her new sets, you will be blown away when you see them. Pop over to her blog,  the sets are due to go on sale in a couple of days!

I used the mojomonday sketch for the red & green card but think I'm to late to enter it lol

Hope you like my cards & thanks for looking.

A new blog called 'The Next Level' have a fun challenge this week, check it out here! Your card can be any shape, size, color etc....... but your image should to be enclosed in the ribbon border frame. Above is my effort. My ribbon frame isn't great but I enjoyed trying it. My corners aren't as tidy as they should be so I stuck buttons on top to cover them lol! I love this cupcake image, it's from this years PTI anniversary set.

Have a great weekend & thanks for looking.

Hello!

My very best bud, Claire Brennan has started her own line of stamps! How cool is that?! Anyone who visits her blog will know her work is amazing & she is very talented. 

I'm so happy for her & wish her well in her new venture. She will be a huge success I'm sure.

Claire very kindly gave my one of her sets before they went on sale & I should be ashamed that I'm only inkin' it up now but I seem to have lost my mojo lately.

The wee gingerbread girl is from Claire's 'Half baked' set which is so cute! There is another set which is just as cute called 'Oven Fresh' you can purchase them here.

Check out the stamp sets below

Thanks for looking.

Wow! What a week!

Can't believe its Thursday already. 

My youngest daughter Becky who is 6 ended up in hospital on monday eve. 

She had been sick from saturday, I thought she just had a 24 hour bug but when it didn't pass I got her to the GP, who told me she was fine just a virus. A few hours later she was sent to the Children's hospital where they discovered she was very dehydrated and her blood sugar levels were way to low so they admitted her.  To cut a long story short, she was on a drip for a 16 very long hours & started keeping fluids down & her blood sugar came back up to the normal level so she was sent home & she is on the mend thank god! 

Scary to see such a wee thing getting needles stuck in anywhere they could find a vein.

Fingers crossed the remaining blood tests come back clear.

On to my card for this weeks CPS sketch. 

Got my sewing machine out for this one, first time I have sewed  a card, it was fun. I used black again, it's my favorite color. The wee stamp belongs to my daughters I thought it was cute. 

Thanks for looking.

Hello, hope you are all well. 

Here is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.  I've missed the last few weeks with the girlies being off school & being away for a few days, so I'm well chuffed I got time to do a card this week. Another great sketch! I love black & white so this was an easy card to make I find I struggle if I try to be adventurous with colours & patterns etc....lol!

Thanks for looking, hope you have a great weekend.
