My Little Pony

Barnyard was released by Frantic Stamper on the 1 November.  Its loaded with cute stitched and more traditional farm animals and everything from barns to grass edgers and milk cans.  Something for everyone.

This card features the super cute little Stitched Horse, although I used it as a pony for a baby card. I love the little patches on its back and I added a little bow to its neck.  I used the Lovely Loop Edger die along the bottom (one of my favourites) to add some interest.  The circle is cut using the Stitched Circle die set.

Frantic Stamper dies always cut so perfectly and have lovely details.  I can't recommend them enough.

Frantic Stamper are also have a DT call.  All the details are on the blog HERE.

Thanks for your visit today

Have a Happy Day

I really hope you are having a Happy Day.

Seems I may have been ignoring my blog but really I haven't.  We have had internet issues for about 6 weeks now.  First it would go down occassionaly the it became more frequent that we had no internet until finally it stopped altogether.  All throughout this time I was contacting our provider and being told to do the same thing each time.  I tried suggesting that maybe the modem was faulty...what do I know.  Eventually I gave up and went into a store for said provider and the gentleman sold me a modem  I came home plugged it in and touch wood all has been fine since.

So I do have some posting to catch up on as its too hard to blog via my phone.

This card is made using the darling wee deer from the stamp set called Oh Deer! by Your Next Stamp.  I have only recently discovered this company as Frantic Stamper has just started stocking their stamps and dies.  I couldn't resist getting this set and I have a few more on my wish list.

I used the YNS sketch challenge for inspiration.  It kind of loosely also fits the colour challenge but I'm going to stick to the Sketch.  I haven't "done" cute in a while and I realise I really missed it.

For challenge details stop by HERE Sketch and Colour Challenge #52

Hope to see you back again soon

Love

Love yourself and make sure your breast checks are up to date.  Book your mammogram if its overdue and talk about it with your friends.  Make sure they are all up to date also.

That's what inspired this card using the Kennedy Grace Creations Splendid Rose stamp set.  I wanted it to look like a drawing or sketch.  Something a little different than usual.  My design is kept simple allowing the image to work as a focal point.  I added some Mother of pearl sequins to finish it off.

It is Breast Cancer Awareness month so go ahead and give yourself some Love.  Today and not tomorrow!!!

And don't forget Michelle has some special offers in store with donations going to support Breat Cancer Research.

Love

Believe in your strength

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I am sure this is something that has, in one way or another, affected all of us.  I watched a good friend loose a courageous battle with breast cancer.  It was one of the worst things I have ever had to bear witness to.

Kennedy Grace Creations are supporting Breast Cancer by posting all pink projects for the month of October.  For todays card I used the stamp sets You Inspire Me and Sing a New Song.  I thought those little flowers were very appropriate.  I cut the sentiment using the Scalloped Rectangles Cutting Edge Creations and added some Pink Champagne sequins.  A simple yet poingnant card.

Another way you can support Breast Cancer is with a bundle purchase from the Kennedy Grace Shop.   15% of all proceeds going to the Susan G Koman Foundation.  Details below.

Thanks for stopping by today.
