hi thought i'd never get back to blogging ,since the begining of december what a nightmare of a month that was i won't go into to much details but the jiff of it was hubby very ill with flu & chest infection, fragile mum partly sighted fell & broke her arm and 4 fingers  having to be in hospital a week she had to have a metal plate & srews fitted to her bones , 18 months ago she fell and had her hip & leg repaired with metal plates & screws. christmas & new year just went bye without much celebrations. glad january arrived,but then i had to plan my dabble day for my craft shop.close the shop over christmas & new year to have it refurbished sort of. so crafting has really taken a back seat, but i have found a little time to write this blog  & hopefully et back in to some sort of normal routine (if only!!!!!!!!! )

stamping heaven

hi all thank you for you lovely comments on my card.

I'm just getting to learn how to reply to your comments to each of you so bare, with me there's a lot to learn.
I recently got the bug again for stamping, years ago when I started I did nothing but stamping regarding craft work ,then decided to do otherstuff like decoupage, learning how to matt & layering and diffrent crafting techniques, so stamping got put on the back burner so to speak.

I've always been a true love of lilly of the valley my favorite stamps, but lately my cousin & some of my customers introduced me to magnolia's tilda & edwin stamps, but I've also found a new character I like as well it's molly bloom stamps, some of crafters companion s.w.a.l.k characters are great to so I've come full circle so to speak.

But while I've done other crafting stuff digi stamps have been born so I'm looking at some of these characters with a glint in my eye thinking wow! must have, so watch this space as I grow more confidence with blogging I will post new cards. This new card has molly bloom character.

Card consists of:-
molly bloom character
backing papar is from my paper stash
ms punch  done on red mirror card
nellie seddons fancy edge circle die
spellbinders scalloped circle
