Sweet wabbit and new MilkCoffee images!

 Happy Saturday everyone!  Well, the sun has gone from the UK and the grey cloudy skies are back!  Ho hum, at least we had a week of fab weather that beats our normal Summer!  So what are you up to today?  Last week I cleared out my craft room in readiness for it to be redecorated into a proper craftroom!  Today I'm going to start stripping the wallpaper!  Normally I hate decorating but as it's my craftroom, I can't wait!!   Photos to follow on progress soon!

Today I just wanted to share with you the last Easter card I've made using the sweet Birdie Brown's Be My Friend by Torico...

I fell in love with these cuties as soon as I saw them!  This card is definitely going to my lovely and beautiful niece who owns a cute wabbit!  I matched them up with October Afternoon papers and just love those Doodlebug Jewels!  I used the current Mojo Monday #234 sketch - I'll definitely be using this again!

And before I leave you, just wanted to give you a heads up that another of my faves MilkCoffee Stamps have some new images at our store!  The DT had a chat and they said it's hard to find boy digi stamps, so here is our own version!  They have more to come so watch this space!

Gorgeous image, huh?!  This week we are being sponsored by one of our regular sponsors Delicious Doodles who stock this beautiful On The Look Out. The image is so  soft and gentle that I decided to keep the card really simple with some subtle distressing - and no designer papers!

And my top pick this week is this wonderful card by Dawn of Paper Stamp Scissors...

Created by Dawn of Paper Stamp Scissors

I love Dawn's creation because of the soft yet fresh colours, those pretty fluffy flowers and how she's coloured in the matting behind that beautifully coloured in bear!  Dawn has a really lovely style and I recommend you go check her blog out!
