Ahoy there .........



Today we have 2 new digi stamps being released over at the Jellypark store and the DT have created some fab projects to show them off.

I am showing off the pirate and dog on a boat digi stamp available at the store here

I coloured the image with my prisma pencils and created a charm by stamping and cutting out the anchor and attaching it to the twine bow with a jump ring.

Hop on over to the jellypark friends blog to check out all the DT inspiration with the new stamps and also check out the new challenge too :)

Warm heart :)

Good morning to you - Happy Friday :)

Today it is time for a new challenge over at Stampin' for the weekend and this fortnight our challenge for you is
Something Girly

Of course we have a fabulous sponsor as well 
Just click on the button above to be taken to their lovely store

For my card I used the girl & heart image from Jellypark and DP's from the MME Love me paper pad. The beautiful die is the Japanese garden lace oval from cheery Lynn and those lovely branches are in the same set. The little tag is a x-cut punch and I added a little "smile" sentiment from a crafters companion set I have. The other sentiment is one I made myself in MS word. 
Then I just added a triple bow with some buttons and done !

Don't forget to hop on over to the SFTW challenge blog to check out all the beautiful DT inspiration and get all the details of the challenge.

Well it's time for a new challenge over at Jellypark friends and this week we want to see your cards and crafty projects with Winter animals on them.

I chose to use the super cute penguin in his wooly hat available at the jellypark shop, for a mere £1.25 - bargain !

I am all Christmas card-ed out ! So I decided to make a little hot chocolate gift pack for a friend who needed a little cheering up. It was very easy and fun to make.

Supplies used were digital DP's from Carina Gardner's flourish set available at jessicasprague.com, Digital stamp from Jellypark here, Spellbinders dies labels 1, Centura pearl CS from crafters companion, Prisma pencils, lilac chiffon ribbon. The sentiment was made in MS word.
