HOPPY EASTER!

Congratulations to Amy (http://amyscraft.blogspot.com/2009/03/spoon-full-of-sugar-little-gem.html) who won last weeks A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge, your prize of Sporty Edwin is on his way! This weeks challenge is for Easter Creations, and I have used this as inspiration for today's card.

I have used 'For You' from Ladybug and Friends for my image and coloured with water colours. I layered the image onto pastel coloured card, and added ribbon and an embossed flower from Prima to finish. I love these super cute Ladybug stamps, they are so detailed and versatile and just wonderful to colour.

Thanks for looking, Katie.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Christmas and the New year bring all kinds of happiness and good news.

I'm sure so many people know of friends and relatives who got engaged over the festive period, and for us it was our very own Colette!

So a big congratulations to all the happy couples and especially Colette and Andrew, I foresee months of making wedding stationary ahead!

This card was made with my future sister in law and brother in mind, to wish them every happiness together, but I think the design would also be suitable for lots of other special occasions, including Valentines.

Ladybug and Friends 'You and Me' is so very cute and really versatile, its ideal for all manner of occasions from weddings to new baby's, romantic cards to best friends and family greetings!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Its been a hectic few months, but I'm so glad to be back blogging...Finally!

Just after my last post my computer died and unfortunately there was no way for me to blog. Then there was the small event of my Wedding (which was great - but over way too quickly), and a wonderful honeymoon followed by a nasty bout of the virus everyone seems to have caught!

However Father Christmas kindly brought me a new P.C, so here is my first card of 2009, to wish everyone a Happy New Year from Nutcrafters.

Embellishments: Prima Flowers 'Sandies Favourites' in Jealoussea

We were also very lucky to sponsor the last challenge of 2008 from A Spoon Full of Sugar blog. The winner should be announced very soon, so keep checking.

Thanks for looking, Katie.
