some birthday cards *edited*

I've been using some of my Pink Petticoat images a bit lately!!

Here are two birthday cards I have made today! I used a Lola Rose image on one and her little sister Lilli on the other!

I wanted to participate in Monica's challenge she is hosting over at Stamping Links to Love so I added 3 circles with rhinestones on each circle to both of the cards!! :)





***Unfortunately I have just added "comment moderation" to my blog... I was getting too many spam comments - usually some lotto one ... I'll try to authorise all your comments ASAP :) ***

baby card

I made this card for someone I know who is having a baby!! I can't say who - as chances are she will see this post and perhaps it will remain a small surprise!! :)

I have used a Lola Rose image from Pink Petticoat!

Thanks for all your well wishes - I am feeling a lot better just exhausted, so this is it for tonight!

Tegan's sketch challenge

Well - I finally did Tegan's challenge - cutting it fine alright!!!

This card is for a VERY good friend who moved interstate and now I never see... I miss her dearly and would love to be closer!!! This card is also VERY late! I am a shocker I know~!!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jen!! :)

Pink Petticoat's Lola Rose and her little sister Lilli

These are the cards that I have made using "Lola rose and her Little Sister Lilli" stamps...

My first ever card using Lola Rose - I just love her - she's so elegant! I stuck with the purple and the yellow colors that were in the paper patterns .. I think it came out ok... (I had to, as I often do - outline her with gel pen, after I'd coloured her in)!



Let me know (honestly) what you think!

This one is for a good friend.. she has been a friend for many years. Over the last 7 years or so we have not really seen each other at all but she is often in my thoughts and prayers and has a special place in my heart as she has been a very encouraging friend and always points me to Jesus Christ... We are in sporadic contact through blogging and facebook ... This card will be a couple of weeks late but I was away during her birthday (not a good excuse really) and would really like to send her something so this is it :)


What do you think ... How many weeks after a birthday can you send a Belated Birthday card?

stay tuned for some cards of Lola Rose's little sister Lilli :)

Excited by digital downloads

Well - I have been busy ... I have bought some digital downloads and have been sooooo excited. DH has been having a few laughs about my excitement :)

I have always been fairly creative (into Art and lots of crafts), I was a Creative Memories Consultant for a year or two BUT I have not been doing this stamping/ cardmaking blog for long (Jan 12th '08) and am pretty new to the whole craft of stamping (Mar 13th '08 - before that just some random stamps here and there) so I am learning LOTS everyday and enjoying being inspired by many peoples blogs and cards... THANKS everyone!!! I have become somewhat of a challenge junkie :) AND I absolutely adore my sisterhood of the blogging stampers (Group #15)!! check out their blogs with the links on the right.

When wanting to enter some challenges and not having the required stamps I drew my own pictures on the computer and a then a couple more I drew by hand, then photographed and printed them out to colour ... I would really like one day to design my own range ... stamps (or perhaps digital downloads?) so this has been on the back of my mind for a few weeks/ months and then ...

I found Dottie! she is so cute :) Louly has done a FANTASTIC job creating her! she is a very talented and creative lady!!! I have now downloaded Dottie and LOVE her!! I am really enjoying colouring her and making some cards!


I'm ready to colour her

I have also been subscribed to the Pink Petticoat newsletter for some time now and finally (a couple of days ago) downloaded some stamp downloads :: Lola rose and her little sister Lilli
oooh.... I LOVE them too. check out their Designer Liz's blog , she is another very talented lady!


I've started colouring Lilli

These are so inspirational AND did I mention I was excited by them?? ... I will not stop until I have made a card from EVERY one of these downloads I have.... AND meanwhile ... I will keep thinking about my own designs and just maybe one day there will be some :)

QUESTIONS for you ...
1. what do you think about Digital download vs Stamps
2. What sort of stamps would you like that are not available (if any)
