They're Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace


Well what a weekend! I hope you all enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations despite the weather.
I'm still in red, white and blue crafting mode and although I don't usually go for the cute style of cards, I couldn't resist this Forever Friends stamp from DoCrafts. I used a gatefold card and paper from the Best of British collection. The image I stamped, coloured with Promarkers and cut out to layer onto the card. With the sentiment You are The Best, this card would be perfect for Father's Day too.

Challenges I am entering :
Sunday Stamper - Red, White and Blue
Artistic Stampers - Red, White and Blue
Mishelflo's Challenge - Red, White and Blue
Reddy Teddy Go - For the boys (inc a teddy)
Scrapbook Sisters - Red, white and blue
Simon Says Stamp - Diamond Jubilee
Creative Craft Challenges - Red, White and Blue

Join the street party on Pilkington Parade!


Gosh, it seems to have been a long time since I updated my blog, its been so hot here I've been spending time lazying in the garden instead!

So here is a new project...
I have had this Pilkington Parade stamp set from Stamps Away for a while and had never got round to using it. That is until I was looking at old pictures of street parties and thought the stamps would be perfect to create something similar. I stamped the houses and coloured them with Promarkers. I stamped the bunting separately, cut it out and stuck it to the card with 3D foam, then finally printed the sentiment and mounted it onto blue card. I hope you all enjoy the Jubilee celebrations!

Challenges I am entering are :
Craft Your Days Away - Red, white and blue
Glitter Geeks - Jubilee
One Stitch at at Time - Red, white and Blue
Joanna Sheen - Remember When
