SSSC62 & LRW 22 (+ a little Flutter by Wednesday)

It was my Roomie's birthday a few days ago and I've been so busy, I only managed to get her card and pressie finished last night.....thankfully, she is very gracious and patiently waited.

As with this card I made for her birthday last year, I had to make the predominant colour green (her fave). But she also loves Baja and since I still had this pack of DP out from the last card I posted....I just went with it!! I really wanted to use this darling Ketto I just received - and from there it all came together easily enough.

You can't see it in these photos - but she is super-dooper sparkley. Really hard to get that in a photo during the day - so might try and sneak in for a photo tonight. I used stickles on the heart flowers, the flower in her hair and the heart on her dress and then coloured her wings in with a Spica glitter pen.

Nice to see I have grown a wee bit in the year in between making her birthday cards. :)

Anywho, its Good Friday over here and we're having some friends over for dinner - so I better be off to clean and help with the preps.

See ya soon. Hoping your Easter is a time to reflect on all that Jesus did for us all those years ago.

I'm eternally grateful.

Hugs, Michey xxx

Waltzing Mouse Stamps Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop along the first ever Waltzing Mouse blog hop.......if you've managed to make it this far then you have put in a super human effort and deserve a peek at my little angel. LOL :)

If you've started here because you follow my blog, etc., can I encourage you go to Claire's post at the beginning on the Waltzing Mouse blog. You won't be sorry.

I've been loving Claire's stamp designs for a wee while now and used some of her sets to make several of my Christmas cards last year. Sadly, I haven't yet uploaded any of them so don't have any other cards to show you.

For my card I've used the Earth Angel set to create my gorgeous angel. I love this set....it is so versatile - you can create angels or spring fairies or even skipping girlies using this set + the wings can then be used to create totally gorgeous butterflies!! And there are several different wing designs to choose from!! Awesome!! Such an imagination resides within Claire...I'm so glad she is sharing her creativity with us and making stamps of her darling images. I decorated the inside of my card with just such a butterfly!! And since paper piecing is my newest fad.....I just had to piece this dear little angel's dress with a co-ordinating piece of the BG Porcelain paper.

If you click on the Waltzing Mouse badge on my sidebar ------> it will take you directly to Claire's website where you can see all the stamp sets available and purchase straight away if your heart so desires. ;) Claire has even started doing templates too!! I'm gonna say it again......amazing. :)

Now, Mona's gorgeous creation is your next stop on the hop....
