Pretty Postage

Morning all, Squirrel here.  Hope you are all well.

Brace yourselves, I've gone a bit sophisticated today!

I do this to myself a lot, I buy floral stamps and then panic when it comes to colouring

Knitting Penguin

 Hello everyone, Squirrel here today.

Like many kids of my generation, I was desperate to learn to knit so that I could make a Tom Baker Dr Who scarf.  I was taught the basics by my mum, and did manage a scarf (sort of) which I wore a lot.  I'm not sure that I have knitted anything since!

Ingredients for this make

Santa & Friends

 Hello peeps, hope you are all safe and well this Saturday - Squirrel popping by with something festive for you.

I think I maybe, at a push, make two or three 3D cards a year, and I have made two in the past week!  Not sure what has come over me.

What I always forget though, is what a rubbish person I am with a camera and how tricky these little blighters are to show off, so forgive the squint pictures.

So for this unnamed whacky fold card I have used:

MFT Clear Stamps - Santa and Friends - MFT-CS-340

 and the matching dies MFT Die-Namics - Santa and Friends

MFT Die-Namics - Stacked Merry - MFT-1832

The Gnome and The Letter

I don't usually make cards this big, but oh yeah, this one's a big 'un!  So big, in fact, that I had trouble making an envelope that would fit. 

I used The Gnome and The Letter for this 'hello' card.  The colours were inspired by the Lawn Fawn Spring Plaid papers which I thought were fun and jolly. 

I think this is the first time that I've used this image. I admit that I struggle a bit with the beards on these gnomes, but I love the fun image.

He's perfect for a 'just a note' or 'Hello' card. 

I hope you like him!

• Stamping Bella The Gnome and the Letter

Margarita Time

Hello everyone, Squirrel here this morning, hope you are all keeping safe and well.

In these difficult times, I wouldn't mind betting that people are drinking

more at home, if I did drink then I think I would have the odd glass too but these

days booze makes me fall over, so the strongest you will see me with is a

weak lager shandy on a hot summer's day!

Hello chaps, Squirrel here today, with a couple of right little monsters for you.

Hello everyone, Squirrel calling by today, and I have a dose of Spring for you.

Let's Stick Together

1st February and I am back in the saddle!  Did you miss me?

So, over the past few years there have been mermaids, unicorns, yeti, llama and narwals, and now the trend seems to be cacti - someone once told me that it takes a special kind of skill to kill a cactus ....... guess who managed to do it without any real training?!

  

At least I can't kill these ones.

Bundles Of Love

Morning all, Squirrel here again.

I'm not sure why, but the Pure Innocence girls don't seem to do as well in the UK as they

do in the US, which is a real shame, because they are such cuties, and so versatile.  I really like them so I shall continue to share them with you!

Cheeky Monkey

Morning all, Squirrel here today.

Firstly, I am really soooooo very sorry about the quality of the photos - I thought I had taken pics in daylight but suddenly realised I hadn't so had to try and get something in artificial light, and the results aren't all that great!

and the inside

Honestly, these are so much nicer in real life!

So I have used
