Lili of the Valley card..

Whilst at the SECC in March at Hobbycrafts I fell in love with the Lili of the Valley toppers, absolutely gorgeous. Have a look at their site, sooo much to choose from. I really enjoyed making this card for my friend as the colours were so cheerful and as she is a horsey person - she really liked it - everyone was happy!

My first ever blog challenge at Ali Crafts with Sarah Kay Stamp...

Enjoying my new blog knowledge. I have today "followed" Ali-crafts blog (http://ali-craft.blogspot.com/) and hopefully entered a Sarah Kay card (fingers crossed this is uploaded etc - as I said, I am new to this!). I attended Hobbycrafts at the SECC in Glasgow at beginning of March and enjoyed learning new techniques from "Mr and Mrs" who had the Ali-Craft stand, lovely friendly couple. They suggested I look at their daughter's blog and who and behold she has a challenge on making a card using Sarah Kay stamps - one of my favourite stamps has been used here. So, her goes, my very first challenge - wish me luck...
I hope this card is lucky for me, I have also entered this is the following blog challenge(s)...

Started a blog today...!

Hi there, and thank you for taking time to look at my blog, I am absolutely new to this and will try to best to make it interesting! I have yet to work out how to change the background layout to look more attractive, so any hints or tips on how to achieve that would be greatly welcomed. I intend to upload a few of my card creations over the next few days and as you will see from my title "A New Crafter" that says it all! I am new to crafting and absolutely love seeing the beautiful creations that fellow crafters have achieved, blogs are a great way of not only seeing what has been created but also learning about the individuals who have taken their time and skill to make some beautiful cards.
