Lets hear it for Mums!

I can't believe the year is going so quickly and on March 11th in the UK it will be Mother's Day. I think it is so important that we honour the mothers in our lives and remember those that are no longer with us. Sadly one of my best friends passed away last year and I will be thinking of her and also of her son this year.

I am very lucky to still have my Mum here and also a Mum myself. I always look forward to the thoughtful gifts my son chooses  - although they are usually always pink and sparkly!!

I am sharing a Mother's Day card here I made for my Mum to give her Mum who is 97!

I am entering them in the following challenges:

Lets Craft and Create - Anything Goes + Mother's Day

Dies R Us - Pastel Colours

Paper Creators - All About Mum

Fab N Funky - Mother's Day

Try It On Tuesday - Mum's The Word

Crafting with Craft Artist

I was thrilled to receive the new kits from Craft Artist - hand drawn artwork by the very talented Suzanne Washington . They are being launched today on Create and Craft so I thought I would share some of the samples I created for the shows.

Yesterday on Create and Craft saw the launch of the fabulous CraftScapes digikits from Serif -  Country Garden,Autumn Country, English Town,  Twilight Forest, Summer Seaside,and Winter Village.  A new addition is the tunnel cards kits too which are fantastic and fun to make.

Each kit has the most amazing array of elements which you can use to build up scenes. 

Here is a selection of the samples that I made as part of the Design Team.

Product information can be found here on the Create and Craft Website

As seen on Create and Craft!

Happy Friday all and I can't believe its also nearly the school holidays! I am getting in as much crafting while I can.

I was so excited today to see my card on Create and Craft TV being show and discussed with a name check!! As a member of the Design Team I made this card using the Daisytrail 2014 Ultimate Digikit Collection as seen on Create & Craft TV on Friday 11th July.  In my stash I had some silver printable film which made a perfect surface to print the images on.

I will be back to show you more of the samples over the weekend.

A Craft Artist!

Well what a week last week was, Lady Luck was obviously looking down on me!  Firstly I won first prize at Crafty Sentiments Design blogs for my wedding card. And then the news I have been waiting for....I am in the Serif CraftArtist Design Team!!

I had sent my second stage samples off and never dreamt I would  be selected!  The kit we had to work with was Woodland Walk. Its a beautiful kit and here are my samples to hopefully inspire you!!

There are more exciting things to come shortly from Serif so watch this space!
