Running a bit late - New releases and OSAAT

Some of you may know we are midst replacing our house roof

well my brother Angus is anyway...

The heavens opened and well lets just say it's been a tad stressful.

So appologies for lack of visits and I'm late this week

with my new releases at Stitchy Bear Stamps.

I have Pat Puffin and Esther Elephant

to make an appearance this week.

There is 30% off at Stitchy Bear Stamps for July!

Over at OSAAT the challenge this week

is military - not an easy one but its amazing what you

can do with a little camoflage!

A big thanks to Lorainne (Coldwaters2) for creating a really inspired

card using my Sundae image - thanks Lorainne and welcome to the team!

More really great cards from all the DT this week!!!!

Polkadoodles samples - subtle Christmas

I have been really busy with Polkadoodles samples

for Doncaster next weekend.

I have some very exciting news on that front

to share with but not quite yet.......

However for now I can share this card made

with current ranges

Paper Boutique II - creative Christmas

and

Futterfly Fairy rubber stamp.

I made a joy fold card which I love because

you can echo the design easily

through the layers of card.

Polkadoodles - A summer theme

Over at Polka Doodles the challenge set us by Enfys

is Summer. I must admit I was so busy making Nikki

samples for Doncaster (lots of new products) next week that

I almost forgot about this weeks challenge.

However - how much fun did I have making this!

I love fairy Flutterfly Maggie and thought it would be lovely

to remove her from her toadstool and make her mobile.

What better than the gorgeous Polkadoodles Turtle.

From All Around and Everywhere !

I think they make great friends.

With some summery flowers and that great sentiment!

Because indeed.......

 we all need a little smile now and then.

DT have been creating this week, and join in the fun!

to make our own buttons this week!

This was great fun. I used a punch to cut out two sizes of scalloped circle.

joined them together with eyelets. Hand cut stems and leaves.

Threaded stem through eyelets added leaves with eyelets.

Then stuck fabric flowers to the back.

I used Cosmo Cricket Material girl papers

to see lots more creative work from her in blogland.
