Fairy Nest



I love this little trio of fairy chicks in their nest- I'm really enjoying the birds in our garden too.  I got a new bird feeder for Mother's Day and we've had this chappie visiting - a Great Spotted Woodpecker

Anyway, this little trio is called Fairy Nest and you can find them here in Mo's Digital Pencil.  
I coloured them with  my Promarkers and then layered them up with some yummy Marianne Dies as follows:

Spider Web die - Leaf Doily Creatable set - LR0430
Laurel Leaves - CR1371
Lacy Border Die - Hearts and Cotton Lace set - LR0413
Lacy Circle die from Petra's Circle Die with Bird set - LR0457


Looks like it's going to be another hot day here in the UK - I'm on babysitting duties again today, just love my little Violet!

PFP New Challenge - Make it Manly


Hey folks - today's card is for our new challenge at PFP with a great theme of Make It Manly as chosen by our fabbie Nic!  Now I interpreted this as a card for a Man or Boy as this card is clearly not very manly!!
I've used Kitchen Knight from Mo's Digital Pencil - I do love his colander helmet!
The dress up papers are from Bella and Boo, so sweet and old-fashioned.  The dinosaur skeleton die was the nearest thing I had to a dragon - I think it goes with the theme!  The star border is from Whiff of Joy and the sentiment is from Heidi Swapp.
Today we're being sponsored by Di's Digital Stamps with a $12 voucher up for grabs for the lucky winner!

Thanks for stopping by, I do hope you can find some time to join in with our challenge - always good to have a male card to hand, right!  Oh, and don't forget to check our the fab makes of my PFP teamies here.

Namaste!!



This is the card I made for my daughter's 29th birthday yesterday, using Yoga from Mo's Digital Pencil and a bevy of beautiful Marianne Dies including their new Bendy Card Die set which I just love and I can see will get a great deal of use - I love the dimension it gives  (Catalogue details are below).
My papers are from the Eva paper pad from  Basic Grey - I'd forgotten how much I love their papers.  The Sunray die  is a Sue Wilson die from Creative Expressions.
