Two for the price of one!

Hi all,

I can't believe it's Wednesday already. Daisy started back at her dance lessons today. She decided to do ballet this year and was so excited as she got to wear a pink leotard, tutu and pink ballet shoes. To top it off, her Grandma sent her some 'ballerina' hair things and she just had to wear them all! After dance, we also went to the library, the hairdressers and for lunch with her in her ballet things as she didn't want to take them off!

On to my card. I have been hearing about double easel cards for a while now and when I saw one on Lorraine's fab blog I thought I would have a go too. I made it up as I went along and decided to make mine heart shaped. Purple is my favourite colour and I love it combined with green, so I went for that. The papers are by DCWV and Prima and the cute images are Herb and Clementine from the wonderful Stamp Fairy. All the images are so cute, I could spend hours choosing. The flowers and lace are Wild Orchid.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Stamp Fairy - lace and hearts - no red or pink

Papertake weekly - have a heart

Crafty cardmakers - hearts

Digital Tuesday - Valentine's Day

Fancy a picnic?

Hi all,

It's been quite hot today, so we went to the beach. Daisy had a whale of a time and Martha had her first taste of the sea as she has always been asleep every other time we went. She seemed to enjoy it and kept trying to eat the sand all the time.

I found a great sketch at Papertake weekly, so I have used one of my new Sarah Kay stamps I had for my birthday but haven't used yet (I know, it's been two months, what have I been doing?!) The papers are by prima and the flowers are wild orchid.

Sweet dog

Hi,

I hope you are having a good Thursday. Daisy had her swimming lesson today. I'm so impressed with her as less than a year ago she screamed whenever she went near water and now she can swim 10 metres on her own. Not bad!

Now the girls are in bed, I had time to finish a card. The image is a sweet digi stamp called Puggles by Wink Wink Ink. The flower acetate is by papermania and the paper is The Garden Party stack by DCWV.

Pretty in Pink

Evening all,

Martha and Daisy are both asleep (hooray!) so I've decided to post my most recent card. A friend has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, so I made this to celebrate. The image is from Pink Petticoat. I've printed it three times and decoupaged it. The dragonfly and beads for the pin are from my sadly neglected jewellery stash. When I have at least 30 hours in a day, I might have time to use it again!
