Paris Cafe

Hello lovely friends, 

I'm sharing some inspiration from the fabulous Scrappers Delights today . 
I was thinking it's now Springtime here in the UK and there's some lovely flowers starting to peak out. Spring always makes me think of Paris, have no idea why maybe I just fancy a nice little break, doing a bit of retail therapy, sitting overlooking the Eiffel Tower with a lovely glass of vino. That made me think of Janice's Paris Cafe image.

You can get it right here in the store http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87_208&products_id=908. She come with 2 versions one with a coffee and a croissant , the other with a glass of vino plus some extras you can add to the table.

Winnie Sugar Sprinkles

Hi everyone,

It's time for some inspiration for the current  challenge over at the Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge we're Anything Goes so lets see your projects. https://polkadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/

The DT were tasked with using one of the numerous and beautiful design sheets from our Nikky, so many to choose from, where do you start? So being a girl that likes pretty and sweet I decided to go for a design sheet from the beautiful Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Collection.


I made a wrap to go around the front and added our Winnie in one of the beautiful elegant nest dies


You can find the whole collection here in the store

Spring Maiden

Hi there  crafty buddies,

Today I'm sharing a new release from the lovely Andreia at Moonflowers Digistamps. Oooow I just love this beautiful lady she's called Spring Maiden.

You can find her here at the store
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/523232207/spring-maiden?ref=shop_home_active_1

Did you know? On the first day of spring, a person at the North Pole would see the sun skimming across the horizon, beginning six months of uninterrupted daylight. A person at the South Pole would see the sun skimming across the horizon, signaling the start of six months of darkness. Wowsers we're pretty luck really at least we get a mix of both!!

Just messing

Hi crafty buddies,

I've been having a bit of a play with some new stamps. I'd coloured them up and they've been sitting in a folder so I bit the bullet and made some little cute cards. Hope you like them. Stamps are from Gerda Steiner, Mama Elephant, Tim Holtz and Crafting Desert Divas.

Molly Fairy

Today I'm sharing a little bit of inspiration for the Challenge over at Conie Fong's Facebook page.
This month our theme is Add ribbon.

Would love to see your entries there to win some of Conie's great images
https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/?fref=ts

For my project I'm using the cute Molly and this time she's a fairy. Yeah !!
Did you know that fairies love all things sparkly? They are easily distracted by shiny things, bit like me!! Fairies like crystal jewellery, Brownies are charmed by Christmas tree tinsel and they hate it when it falls on the floor. Sprites adore starshine and Goblins covert bright silver and gold. So there you go we've learnt something today.

You can find Molly with or without wings over at the store
