It's a Rubber Romance

A very happy hello to you all.  Hope your enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend, despite the weather not being the best.   Today I'm showing a card using the orginal Divas, in my humble opinion, from the Rubber Romance collection.  I remember when I first started crafting that this range of stamps were the first I ever bought.  Unfortunately I don't use them as often as I should, but Tracey sent me a fab DT package and this gorgeous lady was included.  I've gone for the less is more style for a change.

In The Pink.....

Good morning all. A very quick post from me this morning as I am flying out of the door for work. I am really loving The Greeting Farm images at the mo - they are quick and easy to colour and I think you can find a character to suit anyone you know!!


I have used Harley, from the Creepin' Crew, (Although looking at the website, it looks like Tracy has sold out of them!!!!!) The paper I have used is from the Memory box. It comes in a range of colours and a range of designs they are lush!!
The sentiment is from CC Designs its Amy R's Birthday Sentiments There are some fab sentiments in this set, a little bit different!!
I used a Martha Stewart Border punch and finished off with pearls and ribbon from my stash. I hope you like.
Take Care and Have a good day.

You Rock!!

Hello everyone, Sarah B here today with a card to share!!!!


I have used Leslie from The Greeting Farm's Creepin' Creeper Crew Collection 1. She is so sassy, I love her!! SHe is available with the rest of the crew and so great sentiments.



Here is the card I created, also using some gorgeous papers from My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose 6 x 6 Pad called Mabel.


I love these pads as the papers are gorgeous, I haven't found one I dont like and they have only 2 of each which means you get very little bits left.


So have a browse and see what you can find.


Take care

Website Problems

Hi all
Just a quickie to let you know that there are issues with the website at the moment. It was playing up a lot yesterday and is a little tempormental this morning. I have spoken to 'the people' who assure me they are working on it. Because of this I am extending yesterdays offers until midnight tonight :o)
I have just added the die-namics (for pre-order) on the website that have been released today. I love the rolled daisy!!!!!
