Norman the Gnome :D

A Thank You card for my Dad, he just re-did the French Drain in my back garden, hence the berets on the worms hehe and he was using an orange handled Pick Axe, so I had to draw that in :D As always I adore Francoise's designs, there's always something for every occasion, no matter how obscure :D

Spellbinders Love on The Rocks :D

I had so much fun building these cocktails with Spellbinders dies, and the hands just worked so well to hold them too! I wasn't sure exactly how to use the hands to begin with, but as soon as I had this idea I just had to make them :D And you can switch it up for any theme with the extra dies from the set or the extra die sets too, they have a Halloween add-on set and a Christmas add-on set for the Martini glass too :D

Easy Harvest Cascade Cards :D

I LOVE the recent Harvest Cascade Collection from Tonic, mainly because it has Pumpkins in hehe, and I thought to start off the New Year, why not make some really quick and easy cards using the stunning papers and foiled toppers from the collection :D xxx

Honey Bee Pumpkins :D

I have a few Pumpkin themed goodies in my stash, and I hadn't used these gorgeous Honey Bee Pumpkins yet (mainly because I'd misplaced the stamp set hehe) but I just had to use it with a few other random products on a card from Pumpkin for my lovely friend Vicki! xxx

Enchanted Gingerbread Dwelling :D

I just had to see if I could make a little 2D house using all the house elements from the Enchanted Dwellings Double A4 die set from Tonic :D The die set is designed to make 3 Enchanted House Gift Boxes, but all the little doors and windows are perfect for creating toppers for your cards too :D So I just had to make a Gingerbread house for Mum's Christmas Card :D
