Pricilla Pie, A Ragamuffin

Hi Everyone,

As I said on a previous post, I am totally addicted to the Saturated Canary range.

In all I think I now have over 30 of Krista's wonderful images.

Last week we went away & I didn't take my copics (total withdrawals), so yesterday I sat & coloured.

This is one tag I created.

Make a Wish

Hi Everyone,

I recently came across these gorgeous stamps from Tiddly Inks.

It is the 'Wryn and Friends' collection. The Wryn character is based on the things Christy's only daughter says and does. She is a delightful mix of a tomboy and princess with her.

When I saw these images, of course I just had to have them.

Some Odd Girl DT Call

Hi Everyone

I was excited to hear that Some Odd Girl were having a DT Call. I decided that I would apply as I have fallen in love with these stamps. I once thought that they were a little difficult for me to colour, however once I started, I couldn't stop & now love them.

I hope you like them just as much I as loved creating them.

Just for the fun of it!!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I received a wonderful parcel (ok, order) of Magnolia Stamps. I haven't bought Magnolia's for such a long time, however I just could not resist these ones.

I couldn't leave them sitting around, so yesterday afternoon & evening I inked & coloured them.

Tonight, Kel is out & the kids are fast asleep in bed (YAY!!!), so I thought it a perfect time to make the coloured images into cards.
