Hi there.

Before I show you todays cards, I wanted to remind you about our current challenge - you can click the photo to be taken to the original post. There are still 6 days left to play along and we have had some really gorgeous entries so far :)

Angeline is still on holidays this week and I am sure she is having lots of fun!

I just adore the latest release of Purple Onion Designs stamps by Stacey Yacula. Ange's adorable card and wonderful colouring really help to highlight just how cute this little guy is! Check out 'Freckles' and his friends here.

Ange

For my card today, I am using this beautiful new die from Memory Box called 'Honeyblossom Spirg'.

There is a new challenge blog I just found called CASology - their challenges are based on one word cue cards and the current word is 'Happy' so I am entering this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for all the wonderful comments you have been leaving :)

EAD Designs Blog Hop

Hello

Yay, I get to kick off the EAD Designs blog hop today!

If you would like to start the hop from the beginning, go to the EAD Designs blog. One hopper will win free vinyl - so the more you comment on each blog along the way, the more chances you have to win!

I have done something a little different today. While blog surfing I came across a tutorial for a little origami tent and it was so cute that I made one just for fun. Then I remembered I had these cute camping stickerz and decided to make a little diorama.

This was so easy and fun and would be great to do with the kids. Everything stands up on its own and can be moved around.

Here are the EAD Designs products I used:

Camp Out Stickerz

Time to send you to Julie's blog, can't wait to see what she has made for todays hop!

So Excited!

Hello

I have some very exciting news to share today which I have been sitting on for what seems like ages. I am very honoured to be joining the new Lil' Inker Designs Color Team. You can check out the announcement here on the Lil' Inker blog and meet the other fabulous ladies on the team.

This is a special assignment team put together to promote the 2 Cute Ink line of stamps and there will be 3 new sets releasing very soon :) You can see the current sets in the Lil' Inker shop. But that's not all folks! There is also a brand new stamp line that will be revealed in the weeks to come and trust me, you are going to love it all!

Ok, I couldn't leave you without a card, so I inked up this adorable bee from the 'Sweet Bee' set and coloured it with copies.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my news with me :)

Well a happy hello to you all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Angeline is away on holidays at the moment, lucky girl, so it is just Ange and me today :)

And speaking of Ange, she is also in the 'Holiday spirit' and made this gorgeous CAS Christmas card. Don't these fun sock stockings just pop on all that gorgeous white space! You can find these fun images in 'Hello Friend' from Avocado Arts.

Ange

For my card today I decided to participate in the challenge over at Skipping Stones Designs, using this photo as inspiration.

I used the bird and sentiment from 'Heartsong 2' from Skipping Stones and paired them with this fun patterned paper from Lawn Fawn.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by :)
