Knitted Easter Chicks

Easter chicks or ugly ducklings?  I love these hairy chicks.  I used exactly the same pattern as the yellow chicks, but they look so different.  I googled 'Knitted Easter Chick' and got the free pattern.

This Penny Black stamp is always a favourite when it come to new baby cards (or Christening cards).  I used my favourite Martha Stewart punch for the border and nestabilities for the lacy circles.

The Chosen Wedding Invitation


This is the Wedding Invitation my niece and her fiance have chosen.  This is the picture of the prototype.  The final one will have a printed tag.  I don't think I'd ever have chosen purple, but I think it works really well.  The ribbon I used here was from my stash - the real one will have a white ribbon.

ATC Alphabet Swap

Can't believe we are on S already with our ATC Alphabet swap.  I thought there would be so many things to use for 'S' but when it came down to it I struggled to think of a theme.  I went for 'swirls'. I love this Hero Arts swirly stamp.  The face stamp is one I used for a card I had featured in Craft Stamper a while ago.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to stamp with.

Gorjuss Girl

Gorjuss Girl stamp from Funky Kits.  Background papers from Bo Bunny.  Punched lace - Martha Stewart.  Ribbon - Anita's.
