I made this for one of my best girlfriends 50th Birthday, she is quite glamorous so I thought this image would be perfect for her. I am not implying that she has kissed a few frogs though ;-)

Simon's May Kit + New Stuff :-)

Hi all, I hope you're all enjoying a long lazy Sunday :-) I was in my craft room this morning catching up on making a couple of cards, the sun was shining and I thought as soon as I had finished what I was doing I was going to get my shorts on and take my kindle out by the pool for an hour or so. As soon as I had settled down on the lounger the sun disappeared behind the clouds. 
Never mind, I shall remain pale and interesting ;-)

I have missed the last few LIM Challenges, preparing for our trip to Vietnam and being on vacation sort of put a stopper to most things crafty.

I made this for the new theme 'Include a Tag' 


I used Simon's Pale Blush Ink Pad that came in the May Kit together with, some Embossing Paste, Sticky Stuff and Glitter and the new Bokeh Lights Stencils to create the background. It looks really pretty and sparkly IRL. 



Thanks for looking. We have friends coming round for dinner soon so I had better throw some bleach down the loo and spray some polish around a bit now ;-) If it smells clean it can give a really good false impression !! haha

Simon's May Card Kit

Hi all :-) the weekend is here and the sun has got his hat on ! I will be out in me shorts and reading my kindle just as soon as I have posted this ;-)

This gorgeous May 'Happily Ever After' Kit from Simon Says Stamp arrived the day after we got back from our hols, perfect timing !! :-)


I just love all the foiled papers in there and the stickers ! I never thought I would say that, but these stickers are gorgeous and no comparison to the stickers of old ;-)  LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Pale Blush Pink ink pad too, we can never have too much colour in our lives can we girls :-)

I made 2 cards to share today, I was going to save one for tomorrow but I couldn't wait !! 



I used the ink pad to sponge the base card, it co-ordinates perfectly with the papers.



 Love this next one, I thought the Sketch Heart Die was just perfect to use with this months kit.


I sprayed a white rose with Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz, I think these are THE best spritzers ever ! LOVE them !
