Summer With Love

Summer is on the way, well some days it is - I wish the weather would make up it's mind! Oh well, typical British weather!  Anyway this little fairy hiding in amongst the flowers and butterflies definitely makes me think of summer.

I made this little card with one of my latest DigiSparkle releases, She's part of the Nature Fairies digistamp set.  I cut out the card using one of my new nesties (large scallop square - I think!) and sponged the background while the card and nestie were still attached (hence the white border) Then I coloured her with my latest copic aquisitions and I hand wrote the sentiment (yes there does seem to be a trend of this on my blog!)

She is also my creation over at The special 50/50 - this is a group where resident digistamp creators (like me!) share a monthly stamp.  Each crafter pays a yearly fee and then receives a stack load of digistamps each month.  The idea is they then create a card (or other craft item) upload it and at the end of the month we all vote for our favourite - the creator and the crafter of the winning card wins a prize.  You can also enter the challenge by buying one of the creators image of the month (buy it from their store then enter the competition.)

This card is also for these challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky -Fancy Edges

Little Red wagon - Pink and Green

Flutter by Wednesday - Butterfly, Fairy or Angel

Lilli of the Valley - Here comes the summer 

Dare You to Digi - Anything Goes

Alphabet Challenge - B is for Butterflies

Pollycraft Monday - Here comes the sun

50/50 Digitsl Stamping Group

Hi, sorry for being a bad blogger - Christmas has really taken it's toll this year and I've not had the energy to keep up with everything and as the children are the most demanding I kept up with them rather than this blog! Oh well, I'm now at my MIL's so hopefully I'll have a bit of time (and a bit of childcare!) to catch up with things.

I have recently joined the special 50/50 group. The concept of the group is a simple one where crafters pay a monthly membership fee to get access to the 50 designers who post 1 image a month. Crafters can choose which images to take, and then enter a challenge with anyone of these images. The crafter with the winning entry gets a prize along with the designer who's image was used on the winning entry.

An amazing concept I think you'll agree. If you want to join just click on the badge and see if there are any places left.
