Get ready for the Holiday's Blog Hop

Well, there's nothing like a short deadline to get the creative juices flowing!

I've managed three Christmas Cards - I like to keep my holiday cards quite simple, as I have a lot to make and need them to be fairly quick. I also try not to make them too bulky so as to keep the postage down. (I'm
sorry the photos aren't great, but my PSE programme is on the very sick laptop)

My cards feature Poinsettia Fairy and Tia the Holiday Fairy by Michelle Perkett. These are lovely digi stamps to colour - I've used ProMarkers to colour mine, with some HobbyCraft Glitter Glue and Strawberry Ultra Fine Flower Soft to add some sparkle and texture.

Thanks for taking the time to join us for the Blog Hop - be sure to check out all the fabulous creations by my friends in the Michelle Perkett Studio Group at Paper Craft Planet - see the post below for the full list of blogs in this hop, and please do add your comments (and follow my blog) as I'd love to know what you think of my cards and have more here waiting to be photographed ;-)

Your next stop is with Sharon
- Enjoy!

Ready for the Holiday's Blog Hop is on TOMORROW!

Aaargh - been without the internet the past week, so I now have tonight to make, photograph and upload my cards for tomorrow's hop.

MPS "Getting Ready For The Holidays" Blog Hop!

Michelle Perkett Studios is holding a "Getting Ready For The Holidays" Blog Hop on Saturday 30th July, in preparation for the holiday season (well, you know how far in advance us crafters start making those crimbo cards!), and I've signed up to take part.

I'll post more when I have the running order etc, but for the time being, make sure you make a note in your diary to join us for lots of holiday inspiration.

Ooooo - New Digital Stamps!!

Just had a message from PaperCraftPlanet about the joint release of a new range of digital stamps from Tiddly Inks and Make It Crafty!

The launch will be on the 14th July, and looking at the sneek peeks these stamps are going to be GORGEOUS.

Check them out at the Digital Stamping blog - they are even giving away some freebies in the run-up to the launch.
