Set of 3 boards...

 At Ally Pally earlier this year, i met Sam Poole and she was lovely, i bought some stamps, as well as tons of other goodies (surprise surprise!) and finally got round to using them, they are gorgeous! love these stamps by her.
This is a set of 3 boards i made, using the steampunk set of stamps from her, i spritzed the backgrounds and the papers  used to make the flowers and butterflies and just grunged away! i must admit, was pretty pleased how they came out! 
Hope you like them too?

Night night, Sleep tight baby

...another play...

yes, this is another post for this month! your not seeing things, ive been crafting!
Here's another little stamped image ~ found all my little characters that i'd forgotten i had! wow have i got some stamps! ooops!
This one im sure is a tilda stamp, have no idea what she is called tho (embarrased look!) coloured with promarkers tho, and using some papers i printed off from somewhere so long ago!
As i had a bit of a clean up/clear out i came across all sorts that id printed off, stamped.... so thought id better start to use this stuff, rather than it sit there....gathering dust!

Easter Wishes

Its almost Easter, wow this year is going so quick already! and also time for the new Downloads of the Month. The set i designed for Crafters Companions this month was with Easter in mind, but also with elements that can be used all year round too. I'd asked the wonderful ladies on the Crafter's Companion Forum a while back if there were any particular colours, styles they'd like to see as Downloads of the Month, and this was one of the colour schemes i was asked to create. 
You can see the article on Crafters Companion Blog, and you can download the set from here. Remember you must be logged in to download the set! Hope you enjoy the set, would love to see your creations made with it.
See you soon
Take care
