Happy Birthday @ Inspired stamps

Beautiful mornings all :)
I am popping in today for

This week we were asked to play with Birthday cards in a set of three.
I don't think anyone can have too many of these in their stash.

Now I just feel in love with the Spring Sketches set when I received it and could not wait to ink it up, so it seemed perfect for this occasion!


I played with three different color combos, 
Firstly Red

Secondly green

And lastly a gorgeous mustard color that would go perfectly for the guys.

Again this week I have gone C&S (for a change) and I really am finding I am enjoying the challenge of making C&S cards more with each one.

Don't fear though :)
I still love my layered lovelies and when I do get the time to sit down and craft them, I fall into an abyss of pleasure going through all my stashed goodies lol 

As always the team have some stunning inspirations to share with you over on the

Alphabet @ Inspired Stamps

Welcome back to another Thursday with
This week we are showcasing Alphabet stamps!
And I used the April New Release ... 

The moment Mr Postman delivered me this stamp set to play with I had ideas running wild through my head!  I had a feeling this stamp would look gorgeous made into toy building blocks for a baby card and I really do love this card.  I added some faux stitching with light blue gel pen around the edges, some ribbon and a felt embellishment and wella!

We all have at least one alphabet stamp in our stash that we could all use more,
so for some more great ideas on using them,
check out what the girls have done with theirs over on the

Untie the ribbons

Mornings :) 

I found myself playing in the craftroom last night so I thought I would pop in and share what Mojo and I managed to make. 

This fortnight the JustRite Friday challenge is a sketch.  
The instant I saw the sketch, Mojo stirred and I just had to play along, and so we did! 


 This is the sketch we had to work with. 



I don't know what it is that grabbed me about this sketch, but the 'just had to' moment got stuck on me. I was worried it was a little 'C&S' so I added bling highlights to the embossed damask background, used glitter paper for the flower and I adore this sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace October kit.

I do love how beautiful this turned out, and as the challenge has only just opened, I think there may be a high chance of another play with this yet :) 

Thank you for taking the time to drop in to see me today :)

New Release & WIN @ Inspired Stamps

Mornings :)

I am really excited to share my Inspired Stamps card with you all this week!
Why ??? 
 Cause it is 
 and WOW! Do we have some great new stamps in the store today!

I was given the new Type Writer Font in both Caps and small font to play with and ideas just overflowed with what to do with them! 

I have been itching to make a Menu board for the family and the Type Writer font stamps were just what I needed to get the job done!









This Menu Board has taken pride and place on the buffet in the kitchen.  Not only am I so much more organised, but the whole family is no longer constantly nagging me all afternoon on what is for tea!  Seriously! I should have made one of these years ago!

We have a great range of NEW STAMPS and ...
